Located just west of midtown Omaha at 50th and Underwood Streets, the Historic Dundee District is an upscale neighborhood within the city that dates back to the late 19th century. Characterized by its picturesque tree-lined streets, well-manicured lawns, and mix of old and new homes, Dundee is a unique example of how a historic district can maintain its charm and sense of identity amidst modern development.

Named after the Dundee land development company established in 1880 by the Irish land developer and entrepreneur, Reed O. Young, the neighborhood began as an affluent suburb of early 20th-century Omaha. In its early years, the area was largely a collection of scattered houses for families with sufficient financial means to afford to a wide open private garden area known as "estates". The street where the areas of those larger estates met at their dividing lines along what is now Farnam Street would eventually develop into the mixed commercial, residential shopping district we know today.

While modern developments have gradually diluted some of the historic uniqueness of the district, historic homes constructed in the Dutch Revival and Arts and Crafts architectural styles remain standing and are an interesting tribute to how neighborhoods kept the character of towns larger and richer that came before them. At least 20 of the community's older homes remain currently for local site seeing walking and self guided historical tours.

Among the lasting qualities that define the historic district, one especially prominent landmark, The Joseph Redding house of 1912 adds significant distinctive architectural allure in comparison with contrasting architectural in style terms to housing developments erected nearby. A historic designated property today owned by the family with many more architectural examples standing in the same neighborhood standing witness in original splendor that will forever stand witness to Dundee's golden golden bygone era.
