-
Description

This article gives information on the abandoned school buildings owned by the Kansas City School District. "Since the 1970s, the Kansas City district has closed at least 34 schools. Fifteen were sold. Nineteen remain district property. Some found new life. One--Southwest High School--is planned for reopening. But most stand vacant. Some are empty lots." The article also states that "of the 34 schools closed so far, 16 were east of Troost Avenue between Truman Road and 55th Street" and most in the urban core area remain closed. Those schools mentioned as closed include: Bancroft Elementary School located at 4300 Tracy Avenue, Seven Oaks School, Greenwood School, West High School, Manchester School, Kumpf School, Horace Mann School located at 2008 E. 39th Street (used for awhile by the Brown-Caldwell Christian School), D. A. Holmes School located at 3004 Benton Boulevard (later rehabilitated as the D.A. Holmes Senior Apartments), Bristol School (now a post office), Carlisle School (now an armory and U.S. Army Reserve center), and Faxon School located at 3710 the Paseo.
