Description
Built in 1902 in
Late Gothic Revival style, the City of Omaha declared it a landmark in 1979, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1983.
Located in a historically African American neighborhood today, the church was originally constructed on land donated by Omaha real estate investor and banker Herman Kountze for his housing addition called Kountze Place.
Omaha. This mass exodus of parishioners from the surrounding neighborhood left Sacred Heart in a lurch, and the church became an open parish for members across the city.[3] Today, the parish and its elementary school for neighborhood students continue thriving, along with a community outreach program and more.
The building continues serving the parish and has been recognized as an official
Omaha Landmark
