## About

Designed by architect [Henry Voss](/source/Henry_Voss) in the High Victorian [Italianate](/source/Italianate) style, the [City of Omaha Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission](/source/City_of_Omaha_Landmarks_Heritage_Preservation_Commission) says it, "exemplifies the type of commercial building constructed in Omaha before the turn-of-the-century."[3]

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.[4] The building includes heavily bracketed [cornices](/source/Cornice) and window openings that featuring a combination of round, segmental and stilted segmental arches. There are [cast iron](/source/Cast_iron) storefronts on the building, as well.
