Almost destroyed during the Omaha Race Riot of 1919, the Douglas County Courthouse remains a prominent downtown landmark. Built in 1912, the French Renaissance Revival style building was also the site of two lynchings and the city’s first sit-in during the Civil Rights Movement. (Courthouse News photo / Ted Wheeler)
