Hupmobile Building

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hupmobile Building is located at 2523 Farnam Street in Midtown Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1917 on the city's historic Auto Row, the building is the last preserved Hupmobile dealership in the United States. It is currently on Omaha's list of endangered buildings.[1]

After the Hupp Motor Company ceased operations in 1940, the building was used for war production of artillery shells and plane parts, some for the Enola Gay Bomber. That operation stopped in 2003.[2][3][4]
