OHU50K NOTES
This c.1900 fixer, which once represented prosperity and promise to a middle class family, now has fallen into neglect and disrepair in the Wendall Phillips neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. The brick home has many interior elements still intact from its happier years, including pocket doors, diamond windows, fireplace mantel, original doors and trim, built-ins, dual staircase and original floor-to-ceiling kitchen cupboard.
The Wendell Phillips neighborhood, once brimming with well-maintained homes of famous jazz musicians, became an area of high-crime crime and poverty over the decades. Wendell Phillips, however, is seeing new life as the site of Urban Neighborhood Initiative’s Purpose Built Community. A four-block section was razed to build a police station in 2015, and the initiative’s aim is “to ensure that all families can live in an environment of over-all health and safety, where communities are strong, children learn and play, families live in quality housing, and parents work in stable jobs.” The goal is to have people buy up these kinds of houses, fix them up and live in them to re-establish a stable and viable community.
