List of Woodmen of the World buildings

This is a list of notable buildings associated with the Woodmen of the World (WOW).

The organization formerly owned a 19-story tower at 14th and Farnam Streets which was the tallest building between Chicago and the West coast at the time of its dedication in 1912.[1] WOW built its current 30-story Woodmen Tower in 1969. It was Omaha's tallest building until the completion of the 45-story First National Bank Tower in 2002. The original WOW building was demolished in 1977.[2] Also there are many buildings in which Woodmen of the World chapters met, and some of these are notable buildings.
