The Old People's Home, presently known as Leo Vaughan Senior Manor, is located at 3325 Fontenelle Boulevard in the Florence neighborhood on the north side of Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1917, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
History
The Old People's Home was the result of the efforts of one of Omaha's first private charitable organizations called the Women's Christian Aid Association. Founded in 1883, the group constructed the two-story brick building in 1917. The building was converted from a nonprofit home to a residential retirement center in 1988.[2]
