31 story office building 22 story hotel 6 story parking garage

I have never heard of this failed project before. I was looking through old newspaper articles and found this proposal in 1973, it would have demolished the Omaha building.

Interesting. I'd say we came out on the winning side of this one. Omaha Building is one of my favorites.

Who would the Tulsa firm have been?

Completely agree.

Also, all you need is a Omaha public library membership to view all old articles online, it’s really cool.

I do recall reading something about this in the World Herald years ago. Like many Omaha projects it never got built. And that saved a gem of a historic structure in the Omaha building. Which is still in excellent condition and one of Omaha’s most important historic and beautiful buildings.
