Pendleton Heights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pendleton Heights is an historic neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. It is located near the downtown loop, between Paseo and Chestnut Trafficway to the west and east, and Independence Boulevard and Cliff Drive to the south and north.
Pendleton Heights is one of the oldest specifically residential neighborhoods in Kansas City, preceded only by Quality Hill. It was, however, Kansas City's first developed suburb, platted in the late nineteenth century from what had formerly been the 200-acre Jones Farm. Accordingly, the neighborhood is recognized by the City of Kansas City as an historic district.
The neighborhood boasts Kansas City's first boulevard plus two others, two city parks, the original city reservoir, one of only two nationally-listed urban scenic byways and the largest collection of true Victorian homes in the city. Architectural styles include "Traditional Victorian", American Craftsman, Italianate, Eastlake, Shingle-Style, Richardsonian Romanesque, "Folk Victorian", "Kansas City Shirtwaist", Beaux Arts, and grand Queen Anne. The neighborhood also includes a 19th century castle on the bluffs ("Tiffany Castle") overlooking the East Bottoms and the Missouri River below. One home in Pendleton Heights is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
