2001
The Medlar Building was
designed by prolific Omaha architect Joseph Guth in the Commercial Classic
Revival style. Once quite common, the building is now one of a very few of
its type remaining in downtown.
Guth designed many small to
large commercial, office and warehouse structures in Omaha. He was also
the source of many homes for the upper-middle class and well to do in the
Cathedral, Gold Coast and Miller Park neighborhoods as well as parts of
south and north Omaha.
The building is named for
Irvin A. Medlar, owner of a printing and publishing company that was
established in 1892 and occupied the building from 1906 to 1966. The
building was renovated in 1985 for use as offices and apartments.
