Castle
in Kansas City
(Click on thumbnail for larger view)
Exiting Interstate-70 on the East edge of Kansas
City, Missouri at the Paseo exit and
then South to the area of 21st Street, and a block
or so East to the intersection of
21st and Vine is an area of some very old buildings.
Two buildings across the street of similar
structure are a former water works and maintenance
facility.
Most of the roof and floor area within this
"Castle in Kansas City" have deteriorated and
fallen into the
structure. And while most of the entranceways were
boarded up, we were able to get a glimpse
through several openings. As an added
attraction to this area, Paseo Boulevard is undergoing a
lot
of old building renovation and general neighborhood
improvement projects.
