Photograph of the property at 4520 Kenwood Avenue, circa 1981, looking east from Rockhill Road. The house, adjacent to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, was initially known as "Stonehouse," the home of William Rockhill Nelson's daughter Laura and her husband Irving Kirkwood upon their 1910 marriage. It was later purchased by local lumber company executive DeVere Dierks, before serving as the home of the Rockhill Tennis Club from 1955 to 2010. A swingset and other playground equipment can be seen on the lawn of the property.
