A History of the Omaha Market House

Omaha Market House, N. 14th and Capitol Ave., Omaha, Nebraska
A 1909 postcard that I've marked to show the location of the Omaha Market House, aka the Omaha National Guard Armory, at N. 14th St. and Capitol Ave. from 1903 to circa 1930. The postcard dates from 1909.

This is a history of a controversial, then popular, then forgotten idea in Omaha called the Market House.
