Nebraska's Handsom
est Public Building
Erected by State's
Leading Architect.
N designing the beautiful Doug
las county court house, John
Latenser made a masterpiece.
Its architectural beauty sur
passes that of any building
ever erected' In the state,' and
all credit for this achievement goes to
Omaha's famous architect, the man who
has designed the greatest number of
Omaha's best buildings.
Omaha people-most of them, at least
do not realize how beautiful, how fine
and; substantial a building Douglas county
has -erected. Long delay In the construc
tion has kept . them from seeing what
beauties have been placed on the inter
ior, and there really rests the effective
results of Mr. Latenser's creations. The
central court Is one of the master
achtevments of western architecture, the
beauties of the marble, the symmetry of
the lines, the proportion of the spaces,
and the entire general scheme of the
court being such as to elicit expressions
of high approval from all who see them.
' The .building is one of spacious rooms,
rooms where the atmosphere created is
such as to make for the comfort and
ease of all. There are many rooms in
public buildings that eeem crowded, due
to low ceilings and crowded conditions.
But the large roomy places in the court
house and the fine decorations make
this building one that will always bo re
garded as a masterpiece of construction
and be talked about by visitor o Omaha,
as one of the west's best public edifices.
