A two-story brick building stands on a corner in this 6-1/2" x 4-1/2" black and white photograph. A sign near the top of the building reads "Service Life Insurance Co." There are houses on both sides of the building and trees with bare branches in its yard. Sidewalks run along both of the streets that intersect at the corner, and there are street car tracks in the center of one of the streets. Several cars are parked on the streets. "Service Life Insurance Co." is written on the photograph.
This small, Neo-Classical style office building was constructed in 1919 and acquired by the Service Life Insurance Company a few years later. It stood at 1445 N Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, now part of the site of the Lincoln Community Foundation Building. The office building looks rather out-of-place among the houses, but visible nearby in the right background are the Bankers Life Building at 14th and N and Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Co. Building at 14th and M Streets. More distant is the Cornhusker Hotel, just three blocks away at 13th and M Streets. B. R. Bays was president of the Service Life Insurance Company, Charles W. Pool was vice president, and Dr. F. M. Andrus served as medical director.
