"The
ten-story reinforced concrete office building is sheathed in white-glazed
terra-cotta on the principal facades above the storefront level, while the
remaining facades are faced with brick. The building was planned in 1915 and
erected in 1916 as headquarters for the Lincoln Traction Company. The Lincoln
Traction Company, formed in 1897 as a reorganization of the Lincoln Street
Railway Company, was the major street railway company in the city from 1909
until the end of streetcar service in 1943. Designed by architect Paul V. Hyland
of Chicago, the Terminal Building is the city's best example of a Commercial
style office building." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society website
