About

Named for its proximity to Hanscom Park and built with masonry on a frame of reinforced concrete, the footprint for the school was built on a "U" shape. Two stories had 18 rooms, with no original gymnasium or library because of spending constraints caused by World War I.

The school was closed in the 1980s, and Omaha Public Schools sold it in 1988. The building was renovated and sold as apartments.[3]
