ONE MORE LANDMARK GOES.
Demolishing Two-Story Brick at
Fifth and Wyandotte.
Men started yesterday demolishing the two-story brick building at the north-east corner of Wyandotte and Fifth streets. With the passing of this structure another landmark of Kansas City will be obliterated. For fifty years or more, this building has stood as a mute monument to the enterprise of the early settlers. In its day it was one of the most commanding structures in the North End, where the commerce of the city was transacted. The two floors were occupied principally by a drug store and doctors' offices. Several doctors, who are today eminent in their profession, recall the times when as young men they made their start there.
In the course of time a more modern and up-to-date building will replace the one being razed. Activities are temporarily suspended awaiting a decision of the court as to the value of equities held in the property by Thomas H. Swope and the Rock Island railroad. Mrs. E. Williams, who owns the controlling interest in the property, has brought such a suit in the circuit court.
