View of 14th Street

The corner of 14th&Farnam in Omaha. The large building is The Paxton. It started life as a the second building for the Paxton hotel in 1928. It's got a long and storied history. Notice the color difference on the right facade - the light is the original color. The dark was accumulated dirt and grime over 80+ years, and has been removed by powerwashing to restore the original colors. It's being made into a luxury condo building.

 

In the foreground is the 'head' end of the Gene Leahy mall which runs from 14th street to Heartland of America Park on the Missouri River.
