Summary

Mason School was erected in 1888 during a time of tremendous economic growth in Omaha. In 1888, $200,000 worth of bonds were issued to build Mason School and five other structures to accommodate the growing school-age population. The school was designed by the Omaha architectural firm of Mendelssohn, Fisher, and Lawrie in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
