Kansas City has a rich heritage of residential architecture that
speaks to the importance of this Midwestern metropolis during its
boom years between 1880 and 1930. The forty houses covered here
were erected by the city's leading plutocrats, such as newspaper
publisher William Rockhill Nelson, whose fortune helped establish
the Nelson-Atkins Museum; minerals magnate August R. Meyer; lumber
baron Robert A. Long; oilman Ernest C. Winters; and Walter E. Bixby
of Kansas City Life Insurance. Among the noted architects profiled
are Edward W. Tanner; Henry F. Hoit; Louis S. Curtiss; the New York
firm of George Brown Post in collaboration with Kansas City based
architect Roger Gilman (Dean of RISD, 1919-1929); and Mary Rockwell
Hook (one of the first women to study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts
in Paris). Most of these houses were designed in the European and
American revival styles prevalent during this period, although
distinguished by a unique Midwestern sensibility.
