Really hope that area from McGee over to Grand will get developed. Going to be vast expanse of surface lots/nothing in those areas soon

I recently came across some Kodachromes that my Grandmother took around Christmas 1962, one of which was the new Arthur Kraft mural on the Board of Education/ Central Library building. Unfortunately at 577KB, it is too large to add here.TheLastGentleman wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 9:48 pm The mural/mosaic has disappeared

You can upload it to Flickr, Imgur, Facebook, etc and post the link here. That is how almost every photo you see here is done.herrfrank wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 11:46 amI recently came across some Kodachromes that my Grandmother took around Christmas 1962, one of which was the new Arthur Kraft mural on the Board of Education/ Central Library building.

Can't wait to see this one coming down! Sure, it will suck to have two adjacent surface lots but hopefully this makes it more appealing to a major development/tenant for the 13th and Grand proposal.

Re: Old KCPS HQ - 12th & McGee
"Entire structural demolition of the former Board of Education Building between the blocks of the 12th St & 13th St., and McGee St. & Oak St. This includes the suspended slab parking deck, with subfloors below, between the 11-story high rise and the 2-story parking garage. The 2-story parking garage is to remain. We will break the foundation for drainage, backfill, compact, and level the area.
Summary"

Disappointing.
Re: Old KCPS HQ - 12th & McGee
sad, but there will be a prime piece of land ready for development
Re: Old KCPS HQ - 12th & McGee
Any idea when the planned implosion day is? Want to make sure I’m around to see that!

BOE will become downtown's newest surface parking lot! Very exciting news! Wonderful! I love this!

I bet the parking lot is worth more in taxes than the hotel would have
