Market House (Omaha)

The Market House was a fresh produce outlet on Capitol Avenue from North 12th to North 14th Avenues in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. Built by the Government of Omaha in 1893 in the city's Jefferson Square, the Market House was demolished in 1913. Costing the city $20,000 to build, it was declared a "failure" by the Omaha Retailer Grocers' Association, and was replaced by a privately owned facility soon afterwards, and eventually the Old Market, where produce was sold retail and wholesale for more than 50 years.[1][2][3]
