Only a few days left

The Kansas City Symphony Alliance’s “Farewell Symphony Designers’ Showhouse” runs through Sunday, July 5, at 12 W. 53rd Terrace.

The massive 3-story Prairie Style, stone and stucco residence, (nearly 6,000 square feet), was built in 1909. It has five spacious bedrooms, five fireplaces, hardwood floors, stained glass and other period details.

Now in its 56th year, the Kansas City event is one of the longest running showhouse fundraisers of its kind in the country, and has raised more than $5.5 million for the Kansas City Symphony and its programs.

Hours: are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
The cost is $25 in advance and $30 at the door.


Reporter note: I will post a reel in a bit showing some of the rooms. I will really miss this annual event that gives us a peek inside historic homes, as well as decorating ideas.

KCPS held a community meeting last Saturday (6/27) to share three presentations for possible reuse/redevelopment of the Bryant Elementary property. You can view the three proposals in their entirety at https://kansascitypsmo.sites.thrillshare.com/page/bryant-site-page. After you do that, KCPS has asked that the community share our thoughts about the proposals via their survey form as soon as possible (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/newlife4bryant). They will use the responses received to determine whether to hold more community meetings & otherwise how to move forward.

The survey will be available until July 31.
