OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An historic midtown Omaha mansion built more than a century ago and damaged by fire will be demolished.

The owner of the Arthur Metz mansion — built in the early 1900s for a member of the Metz brewery family — plans to redevelop the site for residential use, either as apartments or a house.

The three-story mansion just outside the Gold Coast Historic District sustained heavy damage Jan. 12 in a two-alarm fire. No one was injured, and investigators say it was caused by a space heater used to prevent pipes from freezing.

The mansion is not a designated local landmark, and Assistant City Planning Director Jay Davis told neighborhood leaders on Friday that there were no grounds to stop demolition.
