The Plaza : First and Always

The Plaza : First and Always

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the beginning, it was a hog farm. A cow pasture. A trash dump and it was located so far south -- 50 city blocks -- that downtown Kansas City merchants would not deliver goods to the area. In the mind's eye of young real-estate visionary Jesse Clyde Nichols, this eyesore sprawl was perfect for his master plan for a grand Country Club district.
