The Herndon House, later known as the International Hotel and then the Union Pacific Headquarters, was an early hotel located at Ninth and Farnam Streets in present-day Downtown Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1858 by Omaha pioneer Dr. George L. Miller along with several associates, it was financed by the sale of city-donated land and a $16,000 loan. Used as the headquarters building of the Union Pacific Railroad for more than 50 years, it was demolished in 1922.

The house for me, no doubt, were a house in the city-square;
Ah, such a life, such a life, as one leads at the window there!”
