This black and white lantern slide shows the residence of Edward A. Cudahy, located at 518 S. 37th Street in Omaha, Nebraska. The view of the large house is partially obscured by the trees in the front yard, but a stone archway over the front entrance can be seen. There is ivy or a similar plant growing on one side of the house. A low brick wall runs along the border between the front yard and the sidewalk.
An Omaha businessman in the meat-packing industry, Edward A. Cudahy was the vice president and general manager of the Armour-Cudahy Packing Company. His house was designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb, and construction on the house was completed in 1897. After the Cudahy family moved to Chicago, the house was owned by Fred A. Nash, and later by Dr. Henry A. Schultz. The house was razed on February 9, 1964. Source: Morton, Julius Sterling.
