The '''Poppleton Block''' is located at 1001 Farnam Street in [[Downtown Omaha|Downtown]] [[Omaha]], [[Nebraska]]. The building was built in 1880 for Omaha lawyer and politician [[A.J.

<br />
==About==<br />
Designed by architect [[Henry Voss]] in the High Victorian [[Italianate]] style, the [[City of Omaha Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission]] says it, "exemplifies the type of commercial building constructed in Omaha before the turn-of-the-century."<ref>[http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/landmarks/designated_landmarks/landmarks/69/Default.htm "Poppleton Block"], City of Omaha Landmark Heritage Preservation Commission. Retrieved 2/7/08.</ref><br />
<br />
Poppleton used part of the three-story building to house his law firm but never actually worked there himself. The rest was leased out as office and commercial space. Over the years it continued to be used primarily for commercial purposes, and today it is still utilized as office space.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011222092103/http://www.nebraskahistory.org/histpres/tax/douglas.htm "Tax incentive program projects in Douglas County"]}}, Nebraska State Historical Society. Retrieved 2/7/08.</ref> The building includes heavily bracketed [[cornice]]s and window openings that featuring a combination of round, segmental and stilted segmental arches. There are [[cast iron]] storefronts on the building, as well.<br />
