"The Aquila Court Building, located in Omaha, is a large, U-shaped structure incorporating offices, retail shops, and townhouses around a central courtyard. Designed as a commercial adaptation of the Renaissance Revival style, the building was constructed about 1923 as a real estate venture of Chicago capitalists Charles and Raymond Cook." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society website

A portion of the building has been converted to a hotel.
