The Omaha Club was established in 1883 by business and professional men as a private male-only social club.[1] After several temporary locations, the first permanent building, an Italian Renaissance design by architect Thomas Rogers Kimball was opened on New Year's Day 1895 at the northwest corner of 20th and Douglas Streets.[2] Women were only allowed through a side door and restricted to a subdued ladies’ dining room. In 1965, after a vote where 85% of the membership approved, "The Little Old Lady of Douglas Street" was torn down.[3] It was replaced in 1966 with a Leo A Daly modernist design.[4]
