Kansas City Houses 1885-1938 is the first comprehensive survey of the city's architectural heritage during its boom years. Architectural historian Michael C. Kathrens documents forty exceptional residences—from Oak Hall (designed for Nelson-Atkins founder William Rockhill Nelson) to mansions by renowned architects Van Brunt & Howe, Henry F. Hoit, and Edward W. Tanner. These Beaux-Arts and revival-style homes reveal how Kansas City's influential citizens built a fashionable Midwestern city that rivaled East Coast counterparts, with neighborhoods and architectural legacies that endure today.
