Roof; Tsunami, Folded & Hyperbolic Parabaloid
Appearing in the order they were mentioned, YES we had or have them all right here in Omaha! We call the design on the top picture ‘tsunami’ and interestingly enough the building is still know as the ‘Tsunami Building’ even though the tsunami roof has been removed. The two folded roofs are both photographed in south Omaha. However, in just the last year the drive through ‘annex’ to the old Commercial Federal was torn down. The other commercial structure on 24th Street is still there. There is also another outstanding example of the folded roof right at 51 and Underwood Ave in the Dundee business district. Not to forget the hyperbolic parabaloid roofs covering the old Commercial Federal bank drive through in both South Omaha and at Saddlecreek and Dodge Street.
