Knickerbocker Apartments demolition

Kansas City Landmarks Commission

Photograph circa 1982 documenting the demolition of 500 Knickerbocker Place, part of the Knickerbocker Apartments on the north side of Knickerbocker Place. The block of apartments were razed in 1982 for a Kansas City Life Insurance Company expansion project. The twin building on the south side of the street was still standing as of 2018. Both were built circa 1910 and designed by architect Leon Grant Middaugh. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
