About
The Sherman is a Neo-Classical Revival style apartment building, and according to the City of Omaha, was one of the first three apartment buildings constructed in Omaha. Named for Sherman Avenue, the former name of Omaha's North Sixteenth Street, today the three-story building is the oldest apartment building in the city. It has been in continuous use as an apartment since its construction.[2]
George H. Payne, developer of the Sherman, was one of the eleven board of directors of Omaha's 1898
Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition and at the intersection of two important street car lines. Architecturally the Sherman is unique to the City, exhibiting the influence of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. In its use of classical elements, it also anticipates later apartment buildings with its simple, rectangular brick form.[3]
