Reference Number: 13000197
The Ottawa Block is locally significant from 1916 to 1948 under Criterion A in the area of commerce for its association with the Phelan & Shirley Company, a railroad contracting business, whose contributions largely impacted the growing development of Omaha and the Midwest. Built in a Prairie School style by local architects , John & Alan McDonald, the construction of the Ottawa Block was a symbol of the Phelan & Shirley Company's' success.

I made these blocks a couple of years ago. They are made with different sized pieces of wood, painted white, with my favorite Christmas paper at the time from Basic Grey. A few little embellishments and they were done. I display them on a shelf in my family room with a wood carved angel at the end. Wish I had more time to be crafty this time of year. There are so many great ideas out there.
