A seven-story brick building stands on a busy street corner in this 8" x 10" black and white acetate negative. Shops on the street level of the building are A.F Jenson Company, Berry's Cafe, Walgreen's Drugs, Health Spot Shoes, Matthew's Book Store, and Eastman Kodak Store. Some of these shops have awnings overhanging their windows. There are cars parked along the curbs and driving in the street. A sign on top of the building reads "First National Bank of Omaha".
"The Keeline Building at 319 South Seventeenth Street in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska is a seven story commercial building with a full basement built in 1911 in the Commercial style. It is located on the northeast corner of Seventeenth and Harney Streets. This flat-roofed square building takes up an eighth of a city block. The main elevations are a fine example of the Chicago/Prairie school Commercial style, with a red brick composing the majority of the building's skin, and terra-cotta details in the Sullivanesque style. A terra-cotta and glass storefront system is still apparent at the two easternmost commercial bays. The rest of the storefronts on the south and west elevations were modified in the late nineteen fifties to a streamlined "modern" look achieved through soapstone pilasters and full-bay curtain walls. Above the seventh floor windows is a terra-cotta crown with ornamental relief."
