The post office is at 47 30 So, 24th street. 24th street use to be the main street of South Omaha. The post office was built in 1899. It was the high light of South Omaha, which grew quickly because of the meat packing companies in town. It features classical revival architecture with Roman Corinthian columns. Historically it also housed government agriculture offices and a military recruiting station but now is dedicated to postal services only. It reminds everyone that South Omaha has a history independent of Omaha but is now part of Omaha.

St. Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha
In addition to flower pictures from St. Cecelia this weekend I took a few of the cathedral. There was lots of stained glass, and statues, and art and architecture. The cathedral is very large. Consecrated in 1959 after about 50 years of construction. It is 255 feet long, 158 feet wide and 222 feet wide.
