A DREAM OF MARBLE HALLS ,
A Looting Monument to Public
Spirited Bankers of Omaha.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
A Dcftcrlptlnii or the Handing niul Its
OcciipnntH Ono of tlio finest
Hanking llooins In the
United HtiUcs.
Tlic HulldlnR.
The dream of marble hulls ii malorl-
All/etl in the magnificent Hlrucjtnro of
the First National. It is n superb mon
ument to the public-spirited munificence
of the stockholders , the skill of the
architects nnd the pcnmmcnt greatness
of the city. Prom the sub-basement
with its engines , dynamo and vaults to
the olabonito copper cornice each and
every detail is perfect in its way. The
Interior finish is on a scale of magnifi
cence which Omaha at least has
never seen approached , though
her costly and beautiful structures
are by no means insignificant. From
the street the building ifi not particu
larly remnrkablo for architectural dec
oration or ornament. It is massive and
Stately , as befits a bank constructed at
Maine granite , Chicago pressed brick
nnd terra cotta. surmounted by a deep
copper cornice , nnd impresses one
chiefly with its proportions and stabil
ity. From Farnam street the visitor
enters through a massive granite arch
nnd bronzed iron gate into the stately
vestibule. The wo/Us / and lofty ceiling
nro of pure wliite Italian mai'blo ;
broad white innrbjo stepu load
to the counting-room above , licautiful
electro-plated bronze rails guard the
Btuirs and the entrance to the elevator.
It is a magnificent conception , combin
ing richness of material and beauty of
design. Up n short flight of stops wo
roach the banking loom , und bee a glis
ten of white marble , polished brass ,
crystal and mahogany. It is 00x70 feet
In size. Richly decorated "bronzed iron
pillar * biipport a coiling twonty-ono feet
high. The floors are of white marble ,
and all the wainscoting and fixtures are
of Manilla mahogany modeled after
special designs. The wainscoting is
seven feet in height , richly paneled
and carved and forming a
strong dado for the general wall
surface , which is painted to
hnrmoni/.o with the rest of the room.
Electric signals connect all the desks ot
the clerks , and speaking tubes pass
hither and thither. Through the mag-
nitlcent plate glass windows currents of
fresh air circulate freely , and floods of
light illuminate every nook and corner
of the room. The entire building ut
night is lighted by myriads of incan
descent electric lights fed by a dynamo
owned by the bank. Opening into
this main room nro directors'
offices and parlors , patrons' par
lors , a stationery repository , a mail
ing room , lunch rooms and the magnifi
cent vault. In this the bank boasts the
finest piece of burglar-proof work in
the west , and the crowds which thronged
the building during the reception last
week seemed to never tire of inspecting
its wonders. It is enclosed in lire-proof
walls , forty-two inches thick. The cash
vault is absolutely impregnable. The
„ doors and locks are all of the latest pat
terns , and are miracles of ingenuity
and workmanship. This vault consists
of nine compartments , enclosing the
cash eafo in the centre , mid is eight feet
square.
There nro two book nnd record vaults
whoso dimensions uro SxSxlU and 8x8xiG ! ,
both guarded by the same system of
burglar proof locks and doors. Tlio
basement contains the safety vaults ,
lunch room , cloak rooms and other con
veniences.
The four stories above , reached by
two handsome elevators , are in perfect
harmony with the banking room below.
The oflicofl are furnished in oak. nnd
are perfectly lighted und ventilated.
The four long corridors have floor
L wainscoting and door cosing of
" * njnrblo. The toilet convonioccs
of both banking rooms and
offices nro furnished in marble and sjup-
| piled with every sanitary appliance.
C All the water coming into the buildinir
passed through improved filters. Every
floor opens on massive hinges and is
, locked with a Yule key.
The entire building is firo-oroof , the
' 'floor being constructed of iron beams
' and tile arches , und the partitions of
! hard terra cottu blocks.
; , It is of course impossible to give in
, detail any adequate description of the
beauties of the buildiug , but to some
Dreaders tlio cost , $300,000 , may con vov
j } an Idea. To the architects , as well
; asto the various firms , most
i uf thorn of Omaha , who did
i1 , the work of the various departments of
'
the structure , the greatest credit in duo.
4 The architects , Mendelssohn , Fish or
; k Lawrio , have added another polished
Itone to their monument of fume by the
it artistic manner in which they 'havo
'romploted the First National bunk
' building. Those gentlemen have thor
r largest business in this wcbtorn coun-
f try , they having designed und erected
; under their supervision nearly nil of the
best buildings in Omaha. This fact
will bo readily apparent when it is
etatcd that this firm has designed nnd
' superintended the erection of the fol
lowing : The beautiful iron and brick
t. . Barker building , southwest corner ol
i. Funuim and Fifteenth streets ; the great
j , Paxton building of brick , terra cotta
iiml granite , on the northeast corner eli
i Farnam and Sixteenth streets ; the jia-
, latlal Riimgo block , on the southeast
corner of Hnrnoy and Fifteenth streets ;
' the beautiful residence of W. J. Con-
. ' . neil , southeast corner of St. Mary's uve-
nuo nnd Twcnty-bccond street ; the im-
j posing brick and term cotta church of
p the First Congregational society , corner
jv of Nineteenth and Davenport streets ;
f the commodious nnd enduring wholesale
v building and warehouse of McCord ,
k Brady & Co. , Lea von worth and Thlr-
| topnth strooU ; the beautiful und ut-
I ractlvo Mlllard hotel , northeast cornei
f-t of Douglas and Thirteenth streets ; the
n. commodious and commercial-like homo
! - , . of the board of trade , southwest corner
f of Farnnm and Sixteenth streets ; the
f the magnificent und notable warehouse
f ef theMollno , Milburn &Stoddurd com-
{ Lpany , on Pacific street , Immediately
p"louth of the Union Pucillo depot ; the
ii , pretty brick church of St. Peter's
I 'Catholic ' parish , on I.cavcnworlh street ,
L near Phil Sheridan avenue ; the coin-
wodtous and unique Hotel Uurkor , on
I .the northeast corner of Jones nnd Thir-
P tueuth streets ; the extensive nnd im-
l > posing convent o ! the Sucrod Heart , in
w Park plncu : the mammoth warehouse of
LBf F. Smith , Hnrnoy nnd Twelfth
y Bttcets , nnd the vcnpaeions building of
tf tfe North Amorlcan B'.ig company , on
f thtf corner of Jackson und Eleventh
L ttrwls ; besides nitmorous other build-
| F ing * whoso urcltectur.il beauty will
g be. lasting monument to Mon-
| AelMOfan , Fisher and Lawrio , who uro
E wiUtout rivals and that they uro crod-
1H 4 with , by fur , the largest , heaviest
R * Hucst urehitcctural structures , not
it , aVuw in Omalm , but also in the state.
ETliU marvelous result is the reward of
EjB r * tlmo nine yours ot unremitting
P later ud phcuomunal Katikfuctiou und
UCCC89. The secret of this grand ro-
ult iics in the fact that the firm has
employed nnd still employs only the
) cst draughtsmen nnd superintendents
o work out and put in shape the ideas
f the master minds of the principal.
The fire and burglar-proof vaults and
safes in the First National bank bulld-
ng were furnished by P. Dover & Co.
igcnts for the Hall Safe and Lock com-
> nny. These safes nro world renowned
ind urojn use'by nearly every business
nan in the country. In tlio build-
ng there nro twonty-sovon firo-
iroof vaults. The burglar-proof
lonoslt vuiilt contains 1,000 boxes and
'ho burglar proof castvnultin the bnnk-
ng room contaiiiB nine burglar proof
safes. All the safes in the building
mvo the advantage of all the latest nn-
irovomonts and patents secured by the
ilnll Safe and Lock company. An idea
of the size of the safes in the First
National will be gained when it is
stated that tlio combined weight of the
stool and iron in the vaults and safes
iggregato over 1200,000 pounds. Some
of the designs are the moat bouutiiul
vork over done on safes. Messrs.
3oyor fcCo. , feel highly gratified at
securing the work after such
uird competition as they wore
subjected to. Mr. Herman Kount/
spent the greater part of six months in
investigating the different makes and
irices from the various bufo manufae-
ories of the country , but after careful
consideration ho finally awarded the
contract to the Hall Safe and Lock Co. ,
who have certainly given him no reason
'or regretting his choice. P. Uoyor &
10. , make their headquarters at 1018
frirnum street , whore they have on ox-
"ubilion samples of all the safes manu-
'actured by Hall's Safe and Lock Co.
Hie Omaha house will furnish estimates
311 bafes , largo or small , vaults , time
ocks or jail work , and do their work in
, ho very best workmanship manner. So
eng as'tho First National shall stand ,
which will bo forever , unless dcliber-
itoly torn down , Hall's safes , which
liavo been placed therein , will always
1)0 found to do their proper work.
All the plumbing in the First Na
tional bank building was done by the
well-known plumber and bunitnry en
gineer , William II. Spolmnn , whoho
store and workshops are at 121- Douglas
street , in the Millurd hotel block.
Like other contractors who received
awards in the First National , Mr. Spsl-
mnn had to compote with the best concerns -
corns in the country nnd came on" vic-
tcrious. The bank people feel highly
elated over the plumbing , and those
who know say it is the best job of
plumbing in the United States and adds
as much as any thing else to the beauty
of the structure. Mr. Spolman i-j the
very best of sanitary engineers in the
United States and can teach all of them
points in regard to the business. lie
was for a long time asso
ciated with the best engineers
of the country in Now York and Bos
ton and is the recognized leader of his
profession. Among tlio many buildings
in which his work can bo soon arc the
Murray and the Millard hotels and most
of the line residences in the city. Ho
is now remodeling the plumbing in the
Paxton hotel. Ho employs a
largo force of men who nro on
the go from morning till night.
Mr. Spolman himself giving all work
his personal supervision. Ho will
cheerfully furnish estimates on plumb
ing , sanitary work or gas fitting at any
time , orders for which can bo left at the
store or through telephone No. 910.
Samuel Burns , the importer and
dealer in crockery , gas fixtures , etc. , at
1318 Favnam street , furnished the gas
and electric fixtures for the building.
They are of real bronze , made by the
Archer & Pancoast Manufacturing com
pany of Now York. The value of these
fixtures is over $4,000.
The elevators in the building were
made by the Crane Elevator company
of Chicago , and are fine specimens of
the perfection which their passenger
elevators have obtained. In this sys
tem are embodied every appliance for
smooth and noiseless working and all
the safety measures which art has
invented. Among other buildings
equipped by this company in Omaha
are Kamgo building. United States
National bank , Merchants' National
bank , the chamber of commerce , Shoe-
ley building , Murray hotel , etc. , etc. ,
and now have contracts for supplying ,
among other buildings , the new Kirken-
dnll building and Smith building on
Sixteenth stroot. Wo know of no other
elevator company that can show a better -
tor record , and it is well known that in
this building , as well its'those above
mentioned , only the best obtainable
material and workmanship would bo
tolerated.
Eichor & Klplingor , the dealers in
imported and domestic cigars , smokers'
articles , etc. , occupy the cast basement
room , No. 1219 Farnam , under the First
National. They keep first-class goods
and make a specialty of the box trade.
Conspicuously prominent , not only on
account of the choice location in the
ground floor corner room , but also by
its numerous and shining brass signs ,
is thu city ticket oflico of the Burlington
& Missouri railway. Of course nothing
but the choicest room in the block would
do. , for this great road , and their olllcois
indeed a line one. With entrances both
on Farnam and on Thirteenth streets
and immense- windows , the room is as
well lighted and ventilated as if there
were no walls. White marble tiles
cover the floor and elegant engravings
of scones along different roads cover the
walls. The furniture is of antique oak
and was made from special designs for
this oflice. Behind the counter is a
ticket case which is a model of conveni
ence. In it are tickets to every fetation
on every road in the country , as well as
Pullman tickets over every road. A
spacious vault affords security for the
cash and valuables of the ollico. Acloaic
room nnd toilet rooms are in the rear.
At the end of the counter is the
private ofllco of Mr. H. L. Ilnll , city
ticket agent , who is the presiding ge
nius , and who is assisted by Messrs. E.
A. Cooper and M. J. Dowling. The en
terprise of this roud in equipping such
an elegant city ollico is in keeping with
the record of the company , for whoso
patrons it deems nothing too good which
It can obtain.
Messrs , Schrocder & Dean have
opened a commission house in grain ,
provisions and stocks at No. S05 South
13th , under the banu. The firm is com
posed of Fred 0. Schrocder , the well
Itnown grain and stock broicor of Kan
sas City , and Mr. J. W. Dean , who
gives the business hero his personal at
tention. This house is a sound ono and
enjoys a high reputation for integrity.
The house has a direct wire to Chicago
and every change in the grain and
stock market is posted on the boards at
this house. They till orders of 1,000
bushula or more of grain and 10 shares
or more of stocks.
On the firbt floor of the First National
building , just back of tlio banking room ,
with a sopanto entrance at SIW Soutli
Thirteenth street , is the Omaha oiHco
of the Lombard Investment company ,
the largest financial institution in
Omaha. ImvingV u paid up capital and
surplus of 81oOO,000. This is the most
commodious and elegant office room in
the city , the light and ventilation being
particularly good , and the double vault !
large and convenient ; nnd altogether ii
is finely tidnptod to the business of this
extensive company. Tlio atTuirs ol the
company in this .city are under the
munugeuient of Mr. John W. Gish , who
vas until recently superintendent of
heir western business nt Kansas City ,
and who has been with the company
luce its organization. The business of
ho Lombard Investment company is the
ending of money on real estate security ,
cither farming land or improved city
iroporty. The applications nro promptly
) usscd upon at this ofllco. abstracts are
lore examined free of charge to the
jorrowor , and the money is promptly
furnished as soon ns the loans are closed
ip and the mortgage placed on record ,
thus avoiding all tedious delays and un
certainty , nnd giving this company fa
cilities for filling loans which cannot bo
jqunlled by any of its numerous compo-
Itors.
The front offices on the bank floor is
, ho ollico of J. W. Squire , investment
junker and loan broker.
Itontns i0l ! , I05nnd200 ! nro occupied
jy W. F. Allen , general agent for the
Mutual Life Insurance comuany of New
Yoik. It is the oldest active life insur
ance company in this country and at the

company in the world. It has received
in cash from all sources , from February ,
1843 , to January , 1888 , the sum of $113-
737,330.53 , and has returned to iti mem

lias represented the Mutual Life , as its
general agent for Nebraska. Colorado ,
Dakota , Wyoming and Utah for the
past ten years. and through
Ills energetic work the company is es
tablished in the west , as it is every
where else , an the largest and best in
surance company in the country. The
general headquarters for the west , lo
cated in the First National bank build
ing , are the best appointed offices in tin
city and reflect much credit upon Mr.
Allen's good taste and at the same time
add one more link to the many im
provements in which the Mutual Life
lias a hand.

mercantile agency. This is without

larly established branch offices through
out the United States. Canada. Europe
and Australia. The Omaha ollico , now

building , was opened in ' 77 , and has in
addition to its travelers upwards of
4,000 regular and special correspondents
in this stale alone. They also have a
special correspondent at every county
seat , through whom they obtain the most
important kind of information , such as
ehutllo mortgages , judgments , attach
ments and all other items of record and
for which they pay a stipulated price.

the names of 1,132,28 ! ) merchants ,
traders , etc. , together with their loca

state or territory for the use of travel
ing men , and supply their patrons with
letters of introduction to their branch
lccSj thereby enabling them to get
the latest information from any of
their branch offices they may visit
nether very prominent feature of
their business is their facilities for
making collections. They no doubt
possess the most perfect-system in use ,
their attorneys being among the most
prominent and under bonds , thereby
warranting their guaranteeing the pay
ment of all moneys collected by tiiem
upon business placed in their hands.
Their present stuff , numbering twenty-
three , is just double what it was a year

crease of their business and territory.
