Omaha served as the seat of Douglas County, and this courthouse housed the county's courts, records, and offices. The record gives no date for the photograph, so its exact year is unknown, but county courthouses in the Midwest were usually the most imposing public buildings in their towns and were often photographed to show civic pride. Images like this one were widely collected as records of county architecture, and the building's scale and downtown setting show how local government presented itself to residents.
