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 and businesses in the Squier Park neighborhood, from Armour Boulevard south to 36th and Troost east to Forest.
As you can see from the photos in the gallery below, Troost was packed with small local businesses that served the neighborhood, including the Lee Yun Laundry at 3535 Troost. Squier Park also had several roomy single-family homes and apartments like the Cavalier Apartment Hotel at 1105-113 Armour.
