18 Comments on Spanish Architecture in Kansas City
Wow, isn't it wonderful that there were visionaries like JC? Listening to the Jefferson Hour on NPR on Sunday they were discussing how TJ encouraged building city offices, etc, with significant architecture, (based on European designs) so that as cities developed there would be a standard of sorts, something to aspire to, rather than throwing up any old building...
Cheryl, it is truly amazing that individuals felt strongly enough about their dreams to pursue in spite of naysayers. Building with function and beauty is timeless and something to aspire to in any age. As long as we have people like this, we will survive and thrive - and I hope that I am one who adds to the aesthetic rather then one who detracts.
I love your articles on the local area sites...thanks again for the tour :)
Maria, What a lovely sight and not something I would expect to see in Kansas! Visionaries are just that and have the ability to make their vision come to life for everyone to enjoy. This is just beautiful and certainly unique!
Thank you, Sally!
Carole, glad to have improved your impression of Kansas City, MO. Visionaries inspire, yes?
Maria,
I didn't realize how beautiful Kansas City is. I love European architecture. Thanks for sharing Kansas City!
Maria,
This is very cool... I need a vacation.
Ann
Look at how many people today we consider to have had great minds at the time they were considered crazy. Sometimes vision comes at a cost!
Monique, you're welcome!
Ann, where would you like to go for vacation?
Todd, it seems to me that the most successful people see and do things that are outside the "norm."
Maria,
I would like to go somewhere and stick my toes in some sand on a beach!
Ann
Ann, there's a beach where you can do that over in Shawnee Mission Park!
Maria - interesting story, and great photo! Would love to visit KC one day. Wish interesting and quality buildings were the norm everywhere. Imagine the eye candy if that were so!
Debi
Debi, that's a high compliment, coming from you. Glad you enjoyed the photo and little story.
That's not just architecturally interesting, it's just flat out pretty. They sure don't make them like that anymore.
I think a lot of man hours are spent keeping the buildings clean and re-grouting and tuck pointing so that they stay pretty. Well worth it, in my opinion.
Wow Maria~ I love this building..I'm a lover of color so this really is beautiful. A wonderful blog about its history, sounds like a wonderful place to shop!
Laura, the Plaza is a great place to shop - and eat and drink and just walk around! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Maria -- I have heard over time that KC has some amazing architecture. Looking at this photo just draws me in, making me want to go inside and see what treasures await!
