Scarritt Home Renovation Completed

 

Two and a half years worth of work is finished.  The craftsmanship is amazing.  Here is a link to an update I did earlier.   https://hyperblogal.blogspot.com/2021/06/update-on-bishop-hendrix-home-annie.html

Here are some before and after photos.  The home had been subdivided into apartments.  

Here is a video walkthrough of the 1887 Hendrix Home built by Nathan Scarritt for his daughter Ann and her husband Bishop Eugene Henrix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO5WWUHggJ0

                                                                The Kansas City Museum. 

Below, directly across from the Museum is the Steven's Home, 1906.  The current owners have totally restored the home and purchased the lot next to it a few years ago.  They installed a formal garden this year. 

Below, directly across from the Museum to the East is Townley Manor, 1901.   The current director of the Kansas City Museum spent part of her childhood in this home.  It too has been totally restored.
