The Live Stock Exchange Building is on 30th Street between L and Edward Babe Gomez Ave. It use to be the center hub of the livestock exchange, and at one time was surrounded by stock yards and holding pens. The architect was George Prinz and it was built by Peter Kiewit and sons. It is a ten-story brick building built in an "H" shape. It was completed for the Union Stockyards Company of Omaha. It housed the Stockyards National Bank, offices, a bakery, cigar stand, soda fountain, kitchen, cafeteria, telehone and telegraph offices, sleeping quarters and apartments, and two ballrooms.
Today it still houses the two ballrooms. It now has 200 apartments. On the bottom floor is a medical clinic, One-World Health.
