WoodmenLife Tower
Woodmen Tower, now WoodmenLife Tower, is a 478-ft high-rise building at 1700 Farnam Street in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, and headquarters of WoodmenLife insurance company. Construction began in 1966, with the tower being completed in 1969. The skyscraper rises 30 stories and was the tallest skyscraper in both Omaha and Nebraska for over 30 years, until the construction of the First National Bank Tower.
The building was featured prominently in the 2002 film About Schmidt, where the titular character Warren Schmidt was employed. The Woodmen Tower also replaced several buildings in historic downtown, including the Old City Hall and Edward Rosewater's Bee Building.
The tower also surpassed the Nebraska State Capitol as the tallest building in Nebraska, which held the title from 1930 until 1969, when the Woodmen was completed.Gallery
