The landmarks of Omaha’s past reveal a history of industry, innovation and change. The Hotel Fontenelle, the Omaha Athletic Club and the Medical Arts Building disappeared in the wake of changes remaking downtown after World War II. Jobbers Canyon, a vital part of the city’s wholesale district, was sacrificed to Con Agra’s headquarters. Peony Park closed as suburban sprawl prevented its expansion, and changing leisure patterns took residents farther away for their amusement park experience. The stockyards finally closed in 1999, ending a long chapter in Omaha’s history. Author and historian Janet R. Daly Bednarek charts the legacy of Omaha’s lost history through its landmarks.
