i: Model Interior.
LThe interior of the building, while
as : majestic in its sense of heighth
tod durability as the exterior, is
treated in a manner which clothes
massive proportions with grace and
beauty. The wainscoting or tne nrsi
i floor is of Tennessee marble with
trimmings of Italian marble. In the
; center of the building is an immense
court extending from the street floor

cnt time there has been no unpleasant
odor, generated from years of human
occupancy, to disturb the sensibilities
of the most fastidious person.
In the matter of fireproofing every
precaution was taken by the founder.
All the partitions, floors, arches, etc.,
are of fireproof tile, and all of the
structural work is of the heaviest
iron.
Ideally Located.
For office purposes the Bee build
ing is ideally located. The almost
prophetic judgment of the founder
has been fulfilled for the gradual
growth of the business of Omaha to
the westward on Farnam street, has,
in the past two decades, placed the
Bee building in the center of the
commercial, civic and industrial life
of Omaha. All of the activities of
the city are within easy reach of ten
ants of the structure and will con
tinue so for decades to come.
Another peculiarity of the building
is the stability of its tenant popula
tion. Many of the offices have been
occupied since its opening by the
same person, firm, or corporation and
instances are many where these have
grown from very modest beginnings
to great success.
The present population of the Bee
building is conservatively estimated
at 800 and thousands of other persons
pass its portals daily in the transac
tion of various business affairs.
It is one of the structures oi
Omaha endowed with the personality
of history and which is identified with
many of the great civic, economic and
political achievements of Omaha, Ne
braska and the middle west, and be
cause of the nature of its tenancy
will continue in this relation1 to a
section potentially the richest and
affording the greatest future for de
velopment in America.
