As part of our Uncovering History Project, the Midtown KC Post is examining each block in Midtown. A set of 1940 tax assessment photos is available for many blocks.
Today, we examine residences in the Manheim Park neighborhood, from 39th Street south to 40th Street and Forest Avenue east to Tracy Avenue.

ĐI remember this area well. I attended Lillis high anđ walked around this neighborhood all the time. I lived within several blocks.
