Exit to Tenth Street
Omaha Union Station
Omaha Union Station (1931) was one of the first Art Deco train station in the United States. It closed for rail service in the 1970s and now houses the Durham Museum. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, the Station was designated a National Historic Landmark in January, 2017 (the designation noted that the Station "is one of the most distinctive and complete examples of Art Deco architecture in the nation. . . [and] outstandingly expresses the style’s innovative and diverse surface ornamentation inspired by the machine age.")
I've shot the Durham Museum / Union Station several times over the past 10 years. See e.g. this set of photos.
Omaha's other passenger train station, the Italianate Burlington Station (1898) also closed in 1974 when a new Amtrak station was built a block or so to the east. The Burlington Station just underwent a major renovation, see this photo set and info.
