Religious institutions There are several notable Christian churches in North Omaha. They include Calvin Memorial Presbyterian Church , located at 3105 North 24th Street. Formerly known at North Presbyterian Church, the City of Omaha reports, "Calvin Memorial Presbyterian Church is architecturally significant to Omaha as a fine example of the Neo-Classical Revival Style of architecture, taking formal inspiration from several buildings of the 1898 Trans-Mississippi And International Exposition that had been held nearby." (n.d.) Calvin Memorial Presbyterian Church City of Omaha Designated Landmarks website. Holy Family Church was built at the intersections of 18th and Izard Streets in 1883 for North Omaha's Irish Immigrants . Over the years it served Czech and Italian immigrants, and today is targeted at the city's African American Catholics. The building is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places , along with St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church . Formed in 1880, St. John's was built in 1921 in the Prairie style. An auditorium extension was added to the building in 1947, and auxiliary rooms were finished in 1956. Designed by Omaha architect Frederick S. Stott, the building reflects a progressive attitude on the part of this black congregation at a time when traditional values in religious architecture were prevalent.(n.d.)
