Northeast Homes Tour Part 1

 The First Annual Northeast Kansas City Historical Society Homes Tour was today with seven wonderful examples of architecture spanning the years from 1884 to 1944.   Above and below, the Palazola House.  A pristine Queen Anne with marvelous interior design located in Pendleton Heights.

              Above, entry hall and below, the parlor.... all the stained glass in the home is original

 This home was built in 1888 for Phillip E. Chappell former mayor of Jefferson County, Missouri, and the Missouri State Treasurer.  Joseph and Mary Palazola purchased the house in 1934 and it has been in the family ever since.
