Hayden House
Restaurant

Union Station was home to the Hayden House restaurant, which was a popular destination for both passengers and the citizens of Omaha. The northern half of the restaurant offered a formal, seated meal experience while the southern half provided an a la carte counter service for meals. A kitchen was located on the east side of the dining room and directly under the kitchen were facilities for cold food storage and a bakery. The six murals around the room were painted in 1931 by Los Angeles artist, Joseph Keller. They depict the development of the region. Today, this space is the Swanson Gallery and used primarily for events.
