Omaha's history of tall building construction can be divided into distinct periods, with the early skyscraper boom occurring in the 1910s. The City National Bank Building (completed in 1910) and the AT&T Building (completed in 1919) were among the city's first high-rises. The AT&T Building held the title of the city's tallest structure for half a century, from 1919 until 1969. The mid-century saw the development of Modernist towers, including the Woodmen Tower in 1969, which then held the record for the tallest building in Nebraska until the completion of the Postmodern First National Bank Tower in 2002.
