Bird's-Eye View East from the Omaha High School Tower

Frank F. Currier presents an eastward prospect from the tower of the Omaha High School, the definitive elevated vantage for photographers documenting the city’s post-Civil War expansion. Built upon the original site of the territorial capitol, the school offered a commanding view down Dodge Street toward the Missouri River, as seen in this composition. The stereoview forms part of a larger panoramic survey by Currier from this single rooftop, with other axial views from his series held in separate institutional collections.
