The Redick Tower is located at 1504 Harney Street in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The eleven-story tower was building in 1930 in the Art Deco style. Originally an office building, today the building houses the Redick Plaza Hotel.
[edit] History
The Redick family were Omaha pioneers who owned the land where the building was constructed.[2] Originally designed to house offices, commercial space, and automobile parking facilities, the Redick Tower was built of reinforced concrete with a brick and terra-cotta exterior. Designed by Omaha architect Joseph G. McArthur, the the Parsons Construction Company completed the building within a year.[3]
In 1989 the building was converted into a luxury hotel.[4]
