Safety engineers have said the old telephone building, one of the area’s oldest landmarks, is in danger of collapsing. The Omaha Black History Museum, founded in 1975, had occupied the building but closed eight years ago. The biggest threat is a lack of funding to maintain and upgrade the building which was designed by prominent architect Thomas Kimball. A stabilization plan has been identified for Phase 1 and an adaptive re-use plan for the facility is complete.
