The Gold Coast Historic District is located in Midtown Omaha, Nebraska. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, this historic district covers approximately a 30 block area roughly bounded by 36th, 40th, Jones, and Cuming Streets. The neighborhood housed many of Omaha's cultural and financial leaders between 1900 and 1920, taking over from Omaha's original Gold Coast in prominence.
After the area was developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s the area had mostly middle- and upper-class residents, and it included mansions and single family homes, and also some apartment buildings and duplexes. The West Farnam neighborhood, later called the Blackstone, was distinct from the Cathedral neighborhood at the time; both are included in the larger Gold Coast.
