Two Mansions On Norledge

Martha Matilda Scarritt Jones Home.  1890s  Designed by Root and Siemans. 

William Chick Scarritt Home 1888.  Under renovation. A rare brownstone home in Kansas City.  Stones came from a quarry in the northeastern United States.  This is how the home looked right after construction with brand new copper and a slate roof.

  3. This is also my favorite old house in Kansas City. I think I stubled across this beauty in 2007, right before the renovation began; it was quite vacant at that time. A year or so later, I drove by again and was give a brief tour of the ground floor. At that time, the owner said they were going to turn the home into a bed and breakfast??? Does anyone know what the latest news is?

  4. There are no plans, that I'm aware of, to turn it into a bed and breakfast. The couple plans on living in it.
