This stereograph shows the Douglas County courthouse in Omaha, Nebraska, a county seat on the Missouri River. Around 1898, stereo cards like this one were a popular way for Americans to see distant places, as paired photographs viewed through a stereoscope gave the building a sense of depth. The card carries a copyright notice in the name of T.W. Ingersoll, a publisher of such views, and the Library of Congress notes that its caption data is old and unverified. Courthouses like this one were civic centers of their day, and the card records how the building appeared to visitors at the turn of the century.
