Liberty Memorial Design Proposal #27
-
Description
-
Architectural rendering of buildings included in the Liberty Memorial design proposal from the Kansas City/New York-based Edward Buehler Delk with Armstrong & De Gelke. According to Derek Donovan's Lest the Ages Forget: Kansas City's Liberty Memorial, their entry was awarded sixth place by the 1921 memorial jury. These buildings likely faced the tower on the east side. "Delk's plans centered on a gigantic tower presaging the step-back Art Deco skyscrapers of the late 1920s, such as the Power & Light Building later built in Kansas City. The tower sat behind a huge frieze wall and terraced lawns reaching down to Pershing Road."
