History

The Old People's Home was the result of the efforts of one of Omaha's first private charitable organizations called the Women's Christian Aid Association. Founded in 1883, the group constructed the two-story brick building in 1917. The building was converted from a nonprofit home to a residential retirement center in 1988.
