Redick Hall, 1908

Redick Hall was the fledgling University of Omaha's first building on its new campus in North Omaha. Redick Hall was named for Oak C. Redick, a member of the board of trustees, who offered his 10-acre homestead mansion at 24th and Pratt Streets to the university on flexible terms. The completion of Joslyn Hall in 1916 relegated the mansion obsolete. It was dismantled and shipped 222 miles to Currie, Minnesota where it was recycled as a dance pavilion and cafe on Lake Shetek., UNO Libraries' Archives & Special Collections
