Elmwood Cemetery (Kansas City, Missouri)

The Hardesty Federal Complex is a 22-acre (8.9 ha) site in the Lykins neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. The complex is a significant Kansas City example of a Modern Industrial architectural style. Its history of redevelopment reflects one century of major shifts in American commerce, military logistics, and environmental and fair housing policy. The main building was constructed in 1919–1920 as a massive mail order warehouse for the National Cloak & Suit Company. It was acquired and expanded by the U.S. Army in 1941 to become the Kansas City Quartermaster Depot for global operations of World War II. The military's chemical treatment operations created severe and persistent soil and groundwater pollution that migrated up to one-half mile (0.80 km) into the surrounding neighborhoods, posing possible public health risks for decades through vapor intrusion into homes. After the war, the General Services Administration (GSA) reused the site for various federal offices until it was vacated in the early 2000s. The GSA's cleanup of the brownfield site under the CERCLA pollution disaster framework was delayed for several years. In 2023, Arnold Development Group began a large-scale, publicly subsidized revitalization project to convert the complex into a mixed-use residential and commercial district.

Lykins is a neighborhood in the Historic Northeast section of Kansas City, Missouri. The land has a continuous human history of nearly two millennia, first as a major center for the Hopewell tradition around 0 CE and later as part of the vast territory of the Osage Nation since at least the 1600s. The Osage Treaty of 1825 forced the Osage Nation to cede its claims and leave. This opened the area to the territorial evolution of the United States, which led to the founding of the town of Kansas, Missouri, which became Kansas City. As the city grew, it progressively annexed the land that would become Lykins, and the area was platted in the 1880s as a classic streetcar suburb. This early development was shaped by George Kessler's plan within the nationwide City Beautiful movement, including Lykins Square Park in the city's first Parks and Boulevards system. The Lykins School, then Lykins Square Park, and then the Lykins neighborhood, are the namesakes of Johnston Lykins, the famous missionary to the native tribes, who pioneered the wide area, cofounded Kansas City, and became its first legal mayor and a major civic booster. In the mid-20th century, the neighborhood was part of the severe decline of the city's east side due to redlining, white flight, disinvestment, and the fragmenting construction of federal highways. In the 21st century, Lykins became a recognized exemplar of community-led revitalization, spearheaded by the Lykins Neighborhood Association in visionary partnerships with nonprofit design groups like the Hoxie Collective and Eco Abet. This includes the redevelopment of the Hardesty Federal Complex, a former World War II military depot, into a sustainable, walkable community. The neighborhood is one of Kansas City's most diverse, as a primary destination for immigrants and refugees. Diversity is in its global culture, restaurants, and schools. Over 20 languages are spoken at Whittier Elementary. According to the school, the student body at Northeast High School is exceptionally diverse, with students who speak over 50 languages and represent more than 60 countries.

Forest Park was a privately owned 10-acre (4.0 ha) amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri, that operated from 1903 to 1912. It was located at the southwest corner of Independence and Hardesty Avenues in the city's Historic Northeast area, in what became a six-block area of the Lykins neighborhood. This definitive trolley park was strategically situated to increase off-peak fares at the eastern terminus of the Independence Avenue streetcar line. Forest Park was designed and owned by Colonel John D. Hopkins, inspired by his successful Forest Park Highlands in St. Louis, and fortified with some attractions he bought from the 1904 World's Fair held at Forest Park in St. Louis. It had a wide array of modern mechanical rides, live entertainment, and themed attractions. The park was marketed as a respectable, family-friendly destination, featuring a dress code and a "beerless" German Village to avoid the saloons associated with competing parks and in response to neighborhood protest against alcohol. It opened during a period of unprecedented population growth and economic expansion in Kansas City, capitalizing on a new urban market for mass leisure. During its nine-year history, it competed intensely with several other local amusement parks, especially the more lavish and alcohol-friendly Heim's Electric Park. After irreversible decline, its final season in 1912 held a controversial Jackson County Negro Fair, which sparked a racially motivated legal backlash from the surrounding white community. All of the park's assets were sold for only $5,000 (equivalent to $167,000 in 2025). Forest Park's closure reportedly ended a piece of neighborhood culture.

The East Bottoms is a historic industrial and commercial district, renamed Northeast Industrial District (NEID), in Kansas City, Missouri. It occupies a large alluvial floodplain shaped by the confluence of the Missouri River, which forms its northern border, and the Blue River, which forms its eastern border. Geographically isolated by high bluffs surrounding major rivers and riverbottoms, the area's history is defined by cycles of settlement, destruction by flood, and engineered reinvention. Its permanent settlement by Americans began in 1826 as French Bottoms, a vibrant fur trader settlement of intermarried French Creole and native Osage. French Bottoms was soon completely erased from the landscape by the Great Flood of 1844, so i+n 1850, Kansas, Missouri, was legally incorporated to include the former French Bottoms and rename this part of it "East Bottoms". Kansas became Kansas City, with East Bottoms as its historical point of origin. The riverbottoms was remade as an industrial heartland, driven by the expansion of the railroads into a hub for heavy manufacturing, breweries, and grain elevators. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, East Bottoms hosted the innovative Heim Electric Park and became a streetcar suburb. Catastrophic floods, particularly the Great Flood of 1951 and 1993, prompted a massive federal response from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which encased the district in an extensive system of levees and floodwalls. The modern rehabilitation of East Bottoms has spanned the late 20th and the 21st centuries, renaming it NEID. One century of industrial domination necessitated large-scale remediation efforts, including of significant pollution of the Blue River. Adaptive reuse of its monumental brick warehouses and factories began transforming some into popular destinations like the historically preserved J. Rieger & Co. Distillery and the Knuckleheads Saloon music venue, and restoring some identity as a cultural and entertainment spot. That residential enclave of a few hundred people and retail destination are dwarfed within NEID's vast landscape of factories, warehouses, public utility plants, railroads, and rivers.

Exposition Park is a former baseball ground located in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. The ground was home to the Kansas City Cowboys of the American Association for the 1888 and 1889 seasons. It was located at 15th & Montgall from 1888 to 1902 in the 18th and Vine-Downtown East, Kansas City neighborhood. It was on the grounds of the Kansas City exposition park which had opened in 1886 between 12th and 15th Street on Kansas Street—the center piece of which was an 80,000 square foot building modeled on The Crystal Palace until it was destroyed in 1901 in a fire that had occurred just a week after plans were announced to dismantle it. The exact location and orientation of the ballpark, per Sanborn maps, was East 15th Street (now Truman Avenue) (south, first base); the imaginary line of Montgall Avenue (west, third base) + Prospect Avenue (farther west); the imaginary line of East 14th Street + Exposition Driving Park (north, left field); buildings and Kansas Avenue (east, right field). The first football game between Kansas and Missouri was played here on October 31, 1891 (Kansas beat Missouri 22-8 before a crowd of about 3,000). Exposition Park also played host to a game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals on October 15, 1892. Until 2023, this was the only time the National League rivals had met outside their respective cities.It was site of one of the first night games when the Kansas City Blues played the Sioux City Cornhuskers on August 28, 1894 --- an event in which the players dressed in costume. The Cornhuskers were bought by Charles Comiskey following the 1894 season and eventually became the Chicago White Sox. The stadium was also home to other Kansas City teams: Kansas City Maroons Kansas City Blues (American Association minor league baseball)
