The general contractor was Selden-Breck Construction, and the lead decorator was Hugh Lawson of Orchard & Wilhelm. The first two floors of the ten-story Italian design building were of Bedford limestone, and the upper floors of red brick with stone trim. The building boasted a main dining room and a separate grill room, lounges, a ballroom, a bowling alley, and a billiards room. Furnished rooms were available for out-of-town guests, and a roof-top garden was available for weekend dances. Rental space for six stores was allowed on either side of the ornate entrance. The gymnasium was two stories high. There was a nine-hole golf course in the basement and open air handball and squash courts on the roof. The club's swimming pool was open two days a week to women and one morning a week to boys. At the time of its construction, The Omaha Athletic Club was one of the tallest concrete buildings in Omaha. Total cost of the building and its furnishings was $750,000.The club was opened with public tours on December 12, 1918. A members-only gala was held December 14, 1918. The gala had two dinner seatings, one at 6:30 pm and a late supper at 8:30 pm. There were 1,500 members at the time the club opened. Total membership was limited to 2000 members.Chef Rinaldo "Reno" Sibilia, of Ticino was installed as the club's chef. He would stay for 49 years. He created well-loved international dishes, including turkey au gratin, a member favorite. Of his kitchen, Sibilia stated in a 1970 interview, "We prided ourselves on making any dish a man wanted...to members this was more like home."The club was forced to close in 1970 due to declining memberships.
