415 North 41st Avenue
1899
Architect: John Latenser
Neo-Classical Revival Style
Designated Omaha Landmark: September 24, 1985
Saunders School is an early example of architect John Latenser’s interest in neo-classical form and detail, an architectural style that would characterize his later commissions for many of Omaha’s most important civic and commercial buildings. The structure was named for Alvin
Saunders, Nebraska’s last territorial governor before statehood in 1867.
Built in 1899, Saunders School served the community as a public school facility for more than 80 years. The building was renovated for use as apartments in the late 1980’s.
(This building is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.) |
