Group Lists Downtown Landmarks

The Kansas City Chapter of the American Institute of Architects compiled a list of 25 buildings in the central business district that they believe are significant downtown landmarks ''worthy of attention and reuse.'' The Empire Theater was stated as being the most endangered building at this time. The list includes, when known, the year of original construction, address, architect and whether it's on the National Register of Historic Places.
