The Old Telephone Exchange Building in North Omaha

July 26, 2025

Telephones, a makeshift morgue, a community center, apartments, and the most important museum in North Omaha were all in the same building. Today, its the most public private building in the community and its in terrible condition. However, before anything worse can happen to it we’ll share the story of the Webster Telephone Exchange Building.
