INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION
September 21, 2023
TO: President and Members of the City Council
FROM: David K. Fanslau, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Commemorative Street Designation of"Offutt Drive"
Based on my review and on the criteria for Commemorative Designations in Chapter 27 of the
Omaha Municipal Code, it is my recommendation that the commemorative street name of
"Offutt Drive" be applied to 39th Street from Davenport Street to its southern terminus.
In 1894, Casper and Anna Yost built the Offutt Mansion with architect Henry Ives Cobb. The
French Chateauesque-style Mansion cost a mere $15,000 in 1894, $10 million in today's
dollars! Casper and Anna presented the home as a wedding gift to their only daughter, Bertha.
In 1916 the accompanying carriage house was built near the rear of the property.
The Offutt Manor was one of the earliest high-style mansions in Omaha. It is a two and one-half
story 17 room escape located in Omaha's Historic Gold Coast District. The Manor features
Gothic Revival architecture with a symmetrical facade, steeply pitched tomato red slate roof and
impressive front entrance.
