Architecture
Built in 1912 from a design by locally renowned architect Frederick A. Henninger, the apartments were designated an Omaha Landmark on September 25, 1979. A contributing property to Omaha's Gold Coast neighborhood, the West Farnam was designed with many luxuries in a combined Italian Renaissance Revival and Prairie Style. The building originally featured an electric elevator, a hand-fired coal furnace, a row of steam-heated garages and a large flower garden.[http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/planning/landmarks/alphabetical-listing/west-farnam-apartments "West Farnam Apartments"], City of Omaha Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission.
