Grand Central Hotel (Omaha, Nebraska)

After the Herndon House was converted to the Union Pacific Headquarters, Omaha had no large hotel. To alleviate the situation, a syndicate was formed to raise $130,000 to erect the Grand Central Hotel. Construction was begun in 1870, but halted with only the walls and roof complete when funds were exhausted. In 1882 the original Paxton Hotel was built on the site as a replacement hotel for the city. == Gallery ==
