Here are a few other things I found yesterday.
The Aladdin Hotel was completed in 1925 it was considered one of the most luxurious hotels and the tallest building in Kansas City.
They are renovating the hotel at the same time as the plaza across the street.
The top is nice.
This is the President Hotel.
We have came here before but I needed to get another picture of the Native Son and Daughter Sign behind the building.
I also wanted to get a better picture of the Drum Room.
I passed this mural on the way to the hotel.
When I was here in December it was raining and foggy.
I did not notice the Power and Light Building across the street from the hotel.
I love the art deco.
The Power and Light Building, at 34 stories, was Missouri's tallest habitable structure from 1931 until the completion of One U.S. Bank Plaza in St. Louis in 1976.
The 36-story Power & Light building began a conversion into an apartment tower in October 2014. The project now been completed includes 210 apartments in the historic tower, with an additional 81 units constructed wrapping around and built above a new 500 stall parking garage serving the building.
This picture is from the internet.
Of course I can't see the top from the bottom.
This is the parking garage with the 81 apartments
I thought this building was really neat. It reminded me of a quilt.
I didn't realize I would need it for the power and light building.
From Monday, this is the Women's Leadership Fountain
I have been struggling to find anything for Women's History Month.
Every Sunday there is a program at the library but I have so far I have missed it.
Women's History Month is one of the 11 holidays trump has abolished.
I thought this building was neat.
Zahner - architectural metal products.
1016 The Paseo
Dr. Generous Henderson House
Built in 1899
Memorial for August Robert Meyer
First President of Park Commission of Kansas City
One of the Memorial Book items
Across the street from the Meyer Memorial
Murals I could see from Case Park.
Established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to fight the ravages of the Great Depression. It put millions of people to work on projects designed to improve the nation's infrastructrue in almost every locality in the United States.
In Kansas City, the WPA employed crews to upgrade the city's pavements, and in this case the wall of Case Park overlooking the Missouri River during 1941. Many of these pavements are still used today in the downtown area. If you look closely, you will see the WPA stamps.
This post is all of the random stuff that didn't make the post on Monday or Tuesday. There are many beautiful spots and buildings in Kansas City. We all know I have a great love of old buildings.
See ya tomorrow.
