Omaha Ribbon Cutting: Historic Florentine Apartments, 14 July

It was a great day for a ribbon cutting with a nice crowd in attendance for this auspicious occasion on 14 July 2019. The Historic Florentine had completed its renovation and became ready for tenants to occupy this grand place!

The Historic Florentine was one of the apartments built by Vincent Chiodo from 1911-1912. Vincent was born in Calabria, Italy. That city is where many of our Omaha Italian ancestors and relatives came from. (Please see Omaha Interview: Little Italy for more information on Italian immigrants in Omaha and reference to Vincent Chiodo.)

Over the years, the building experienced decline until it was sold an auction to an architect, John Schmidt. He had the best bid-and the only bid! No one else came to bid!

Fast forward ahead over five million dollars (and more stories) and it is ready for you to rent at 907 S. 25th St. (Please return for these stories later here on our Omaha blog.)

Amenities include:
Washer/dryer
Stove
Microwave
Dishwasher
Soundproofing between apartments
Large soaking tub
