Landmarks
Omaha is home to dozens of nationally, regionally and locally significant landmarks. The city has more than a dozen historic districts, including Fort Omaha Historic District, Gold Coast Historic District, Omaha Quartermaster Depot Historic District and the South Omaha Main Street Historic District. Omaha is notorious for its 1989 demolition of all 24 buildings in the Jobbers Canyon Historic District, which represented the largest loss of buildings on the National Register ever lost to date. The city also has almost a hundred individual properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Bank of Florence, Holy Family Church, the Christian Specht Building and the Joslyn Castle. The city also has three locations on the highly-selective list of National Historic Landmarks. Locally-designated landmarks including residential, commercial, religious, educational, agricultural and socially-significant locations across the city accentuate Omaha's cultural legacy and important history.
