Kansas City's Historic Hyde Park (Images of America)

Kansas City's Historic Hyde Park (Images of America)

Hyde Park, located on Westportâ€™s outskirts south of early Kansas City, was the first stop on the long trek down the Santa Fe Trail. Good pasture and a natural cave spring were early attributes. During the real estate boom of the 1880s, the area was platted, but the crash of 1888 intervened, and only a few houses were built. By 1900, with the recovery of the economy and the development of Janssen Place as a private street, the area became the preferred community for Kansas Cityâ€™s wealthy. The architectural style is Queen Anne, Prairie School, Neo-Georgian, Colonial Revival, Kansas City Shirtwaist, and Shingle. These homes glitter with original brass fixtures, lead and stained-glass windows, and oak, mahogany, and walnut interiors. Some of Kansas Cityâ€™s most famous and notorious have lived in Hyde Park, from wealthy businessmen and entertainment stars to serial killers.
