Boulevard Manor & Cavalier Apartments
-
Description
-
Photograph of the Boulevard Manor Hotel and Cavalier Apartment buildings on Armour between Troost and Forest in the early 1980s. The Cavalier building, at 1109 East Armour, was built in 1929, was known as the Ritz at the time of the photograph and was placed on the city's dangerous buildings list after a series of fires in the 1980s. It was demolished in 1996. Boulevard Manor, at 1115 East Armour, was built in 1923 as the Marquette Club, a Catholic men's community center and apartment complex. The building was taken over for use as a barracks by the Army during World War II, after which it returned to civilian residential use. The building was donated to the Urban League of Kansas City in 1970, and appears vacant with boarded-up lower level windows at the time of the photograph. Universal Lounge, a bar, appears in the background of the image at the southwest corner of Troost and Armour.
