The buildings were designated an Omaha Landmark on April 21, 1981. According to the City of Omaha's Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission, "the Clarinda and Page represent the type of luxury apartments which developed along the city’s picturesque parks and boulevard system after the turn-of-the-century."[1]
The building was demolished in 2014.[2]
It was stated to be "on record with the National Register of Historic Places".[3] According to a letter to the editor, "In a 2003 study by Webb and Hunt, the Clarinda/Page was also recommended as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, based on 'Architectural Significance.'"[4]
It is unclear whether a determination of NRHP-eligibility was applied for and/or obtained (as there is no mention in NRHP weekly lists of 2014).
The building was demolished by Mutual of Omaha in 2014 after a failed campaign to save it.[5]
Mutual of Omaha may have planned to make an office building.[3]
