History

Built in the 1890s at the cost of $50,000,^[1]

When South Omaha merged with the City of Omaha in 1915, the merger called for specific and numerated services to be continued to the community as a part of the merger agreement. City Hall was rehabilitated in the late 1980s in honor of the merger agreement, and the building continued to house driver licensing and testing, courts and police facilities. The City stopped services in the 1990s, and sold the building for commercial purposes.^[2]
