UMKC Block Includes Historic Carriage House Slated for Demolition Sept. 24
Before the establishment of what would become UMKC, the block bounded by 51 st and 52 nd between Rockhill and Holmes was home to one of Kansas City's most splendid mansions. Walter Dickey, a prominent businessman, chose the site for his 25-room home on the crest of a wooded hill.
Didn’t they just tell somebody that they couldn’t tear down an historic building?
