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.
