The West Farnam Apartments are located at 3817 Dewey Avenue in Midtown Omaha, Nebraska. The building was reportedly the first luxury apartment building constructed in Omaha.[3]

Architecture

Built in 1912 from a design by locally renowned architect Frederick A. Henninger, the apartments were designated an Omaha Landmark on September 25, 1979. A contributing property to Omaha’s Gold Coast neighborhood, the West Farnam was designed with many luxuries in a combined Italian Renaissance Revival and Prairie Style. The building originally featured an electric elevator, a hand-fired coal furnace, a row of steam-heated garages and a large flower garden.[4]
