Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance
The West Eleventh Street Historic District is located at the intersection of West Eleventh
and Central Streets in the Central Business District of Kansas City, Missouri. The district
contains three structures that are Classical in design. All three buildings were constructe
during the first two decades of the Twentieth century. The American Hereford Cattle
Breeders Association Building, the W.R. Pickering Lumber Company Building, and the Ararat
Shrine Temple have both historic and architectural importance. The district is a fine
example of community planning and retains much of its original character, having escaped
demolition and major redevelopment.
The American Hereford Cattle Breeders Association Building at 300 West Eleventh Street
in Kansas City, Missouri, is basically a square building with an irregularly shaped north
facade and a rectangular car port attached to the west facade.
The three-story building
is bounded on the north by an alley and a fire station to the northeast; Eleventh Street
to the south; Central Street to the east, and an alley and surface parking lot to the
west.
The American Hereford Cattle Breeders Association Building covers an area of approxi
mately 5,158 square feet.
It has a frontage of 103 feet on West Eleventh Street. The
structure measures 50 feet to the top of the parapet. The building is constructed primarily
of poured concrete and steel.
Exterior facing is polished stone; a flat tar paper roof
covers the building.
An example of the Neo-Classical Revival Style, the American Hereford Cattle Breeders
Association Building of 1919 is characterized by symmetrical, monumental proportions
and a polished stone surface.
Based primarily on Greek architectural orders, the five
bays of the north facade and double bays on both east and west facades are delineated by
colossal engaged columns. Windows on the first, second, and third floors are single light
sashes.
A reliance on Roman orders accounts for the arched moldings. 1
Two flights of
stairs ascend from the edge of the terraced lawn to the principal second floor entrance in
the central bay of the south facade.. A secondary entrance is located at ground floor level
in the west facade. A parapet crowns the structure.
In 1961 an addition constructed
of limestone and Indiana granite provided a third entrance at street level fronting on
Central. 2
The interior of the structure has been altered from the original to provide modern commercie
office space.
The W.R. Pickering Lumber Company Building at 301-307 West Eleventh Street in Kansas City,
Missouri, is presently a rectangular shaped edifice with slightly projecting east and west
wings.
The eight-floor building, basement and penthouse inclusive, is bounded on the north
by West Eleventh Street; a surface parking lot is located to the south, with the Folly
Theatre to the southeast; Central Street to the east, and an alley and surface parking lot
to the west.
The W.R. Pickering Lumber Company Building occupies a surface area of approxi
mately 13,088 square feet.
It has a frontage of 122 feet on West Eleventh Street. The
height of the structure measures 80 feet to the top of the parapet and 89 feet to the top
of the penthouse roof.
The edifice has a single stack chimney.
The entire building is constructed primarily of poured concrete and steel.
Red brick and
buff colored glazed terra cotta comprise the exterior facing of the 1925 three-story
building and fourth, fifth and sixth floor additions of 1950. Ornamental cast iron entry
doors, grill work and fixtures distinguish the facade. A pitched red tile roof, originally

Buff

The W.R. Pickering Lumber Company Building of 1925 is an example of the Second Renaissance
Revival Style.
Three stories tall, the building is organized into distinct horizontal
divisions by a prominent belt course above the first and second floors and is crowned by a
heavily modeled cornice.
Although the building is divided into an equal number of bays,
eleven on the north facade and four on the east and west facades, each floor is articulated
differently.

The American Hereford Cattle Breeders Association Building at 300 West Eleventh Street,
the W.R. Pickering Lumber Company Building at 301-307 West Eleventh Street, and the Ararat
Shrine Temple at 222 West Eleventh Street are significant as examples of an unusual urban
design plan and as a grouping of Classical design buildings.

In 1939 the St. Louis Union Trust Company filed a foreclosure suit
against the Ararat Shrine for bonds that had been in default since 1932.
The membership of
the Shrine had declined and the decision was made not to contest the foreclosure suit.
The Shriners gave up their building and moved their headquarters to the fourth floor of
the Hotel Continental.7
