Fashionable Pearl Street
Not available online
TitleFashionable Pearl Street
AbstractMention of "the James Mansfield store" at 415 East 3rd Street as one of the few remaining antebellum houses still standing on 3rd Street.
NotesAntebellum structures are becoming more and more scarce in Kansas City every year. It may be interesting to relate as an instance that on Third Street [3rd Street]--one of the old streets of the city--only five houses that were built before the Civil War are now [1921] standing. One is the Guinotte homestead at Third Street and Troost Avenue, another the Riley home at 514, a third the James Mansfield store at 415 East Third Street, and a fourth, John Rooney's place, at 109 East Third Street, and fifth, 300 Main Street. The Riley and the Mansfield houses are the homes of Italians. Negroes are in the Rooney house.
