Brewer Gottlieb Storz built the Gottlieb Storz House, 27 rooms of Jacobethan Revival, in 1905 here in Blackstone, Midtown Omaha, Nebraska. Step close and imagine a beer magnate’s vision: built in 1905 by Omaha brewer Gottlieb Storz, who founded the Storz Brewing Company in Omaha in 1876, this 27-room Jacobethan Revival mansion was constructed after two decades of success. It has been recognized formally — listed in the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 1974 and later designated an Omaha Landmark on December 21, 1982; it was included in the Gold Coast Historic District when that district was listed on March 14, 1997.
The house is said to provide a rare visual connection to a "golden era" in Omaha’s history, and on its top floor you’ll find the Adele and Fred Astaire Ballroom, the only memorial to their Omaha roots. Look at the built fabric: beige brick with limestone trim, a red tile roof, steep gables, rectangular windows with stone mullions and transoms, and a symmetrical façade. Much of the exquisite original interior remains — hand-carved oak woodwork, a solarium beneath a stained glass dome, and distinctive mosaic fireplaces.
Notice the Adele and Fred Astaire Ballroom upstairs, the only memorial anywhere to their Omaha roots.
