Meeks, Cordell D., Sr., House

Kansas City (Wyandotte County)
Listed in National Register 2013-10-09
Architect: Unknown
Category: domestic
Since its construction in 1903, the residence at 600 Oakland Avenue has been home to two distinguished Kansas City attorneys - first to Charles W. Trickett, a white Republican prohibitionist, and his family; and second to Cordell D. Meeks, Sr., an African American Democrat county commissioner and district court judge, and his family. Trickett is perhaps best known professionally for his efforts as an assistant attorney general to enforce Kansas prohibition laws in the early 1900s. After his death, Trickett's family sold the house in 1949 to a young Meeks who became a leader in local Democratic Party politics. Meetings of the Northeast Democrat Committeemen and Committeewomen's League were held in this home for years. Meeks was sworn in to the Wyandotte County Commission in 1951 and served as a commissioner until 1973 when he became the first African American elected to the District Court in the State of Kansas. The property was nominated for its association with Meeks in the areas of politics and government.

The building is nominated for its educational history and architectural significance constructed during the Progressive-era in a commercial style with Beaux Arts stylistic influences.

Schleifer-McAlpine House

Kansas City (Wyandotte County)
Listed in National Register 2007-10-10
Architect: Not listed
Category: single dwelling
The Schleifer-McAlpine House was built in 1870 as an Italianate-style two-story brick residence on a limestone foundation with a two-story wraparound front porch. Between 1870 and 1925, two prominent citizens, Louis Schleifer and Nicholas McAlpine, both of who were successful businessmen and public officials, occupied the house. Schleifer operated a brickyard company with his brother Fred, which produced materials for many of the buildings in Kansas City from 1867 to 1880. Schleifer and McAlpine were involved in local politics, serving as a Wyandotte City Councilmen. One of McAlpine's most important involvements was that he was one of eight partners in the Kansas City, Kansas Town Company. The company was formed in 1868 to plat and develop the portion of Wyandotte County lying in the river bottoms between the Kansas-Missouri state line on the east, the Missouri River on the north, and the Kansas River on the west. The house was nominated for its architectural significance and for its association with community planning, development and government.
