The term Renaissance, adopted from the French equivalent of the Italian word rinascita, meaning literally "rebirth," describes the radical and comprehensive changes that took place in European culture during the 15th and 16th centuries, bringing about the demise of the Middle Ages and embodying for the first time the values of the modern world.
The term Renaissance, describing the period of European history from the early 14th to the late 16th century, is derived from the French word for rebirth, and originally referred to the revival of the values and artistic styles of classical antiquity during that period, especially in Italy.
The later Renaissance was marked by a growth of bureaucracy, an increase in state authority in the areas of justice and taxation, and the creation of larger regional states.

The Second Renaissance Revival style, as well as other styles that employed classical details, was very popular around the turn-of-the-century, particularly for buildings such as libraries, courthouses or banks that sought to convey a strong sense of integrity and security.
Borrowing from the architecture of renaissance Florence and Rome, the style was used extensively between 1890 and 1920.
Local design was further influenced by Omaha’s own 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, for which Thomas Kimball and his partner C. Howard Walker served as architects-in-chief.
