Omaha Union Station (ceiling detail)
Omaha Union Station (1931) was the first Art Deco train station in the United States. It closed for rail service in the 1970s and now houses the Durham Museum. Omaha's other passenger train station, the Italianate Burlington Station (1898) also closed when a crappy modern Amtrak station was built behind it (the Burlington may soon be renovated for adaptive reuse as apartments or perhaps some other use).
I recently returned from a week in my home town, Omaha (for Fathers Day, the College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium, music & good friends, etc).
