"The sixteen-story steel and brick office building erected for the City National Bank in 1910 was Omaha's first skyscraper. The design was based upon Chicago principles and executed by the prominent Chicago School architectural firm of Holabird and Roche. In 1927 the newly expanded Orpheum Theater, a three-story brick building which butted against the bank, projected a lobby to the bank's main facade, giving the theater an established and prestigious entrance." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society website.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic places in 1973.
