In 1894, Casper and Anna Yost built the Offutt Mansion with architect Henry Ives Cobb. The French Chateauesque-style Mansion cost a mere $15,000 in 1894, $10 million in today’s dollars! Casper and Anna presented the home as a wedding gift to their only daughter, Bertha. In 1916 the accompanying carriage house was built near the rear of the property.

The Offutt Manor was one of the earliest high-style mansions in Omaha. It is a two and one-half story 17 room escape located in Omaha's Historic Gold Coast District. The Manor features Gothic Revival architecture with a symmetrical facade, steeply pitched tomato red slate roof and impressive front entrance.

The interior is equally impressive with a 'Cuban Mahogany' library with a pink onyx fireplace, black walnut dining room, quarter-sawn oak entry, and grand staircase. The home was built with gas/ornate electric fixtures and wall sconces that still grace this exquisite estate.

The rooms are a mixture of styles and sleeping configurations. You can comfortably sleep 18 without using the couches or daybeds.
