The Warwick Theater was built in 1912 by Kansas City entrepreneur and filmmaker William Andlauer. In its early years, the theater screened films from Paramount Pictures. Andlauer also owned the Bonaventure Theater on Independence Ave and the Andlauer Film Company, which specialized in promotional films for government agencies, churches, and businesses. Fire struck the Warwick in 1927, but when it reopened in 1929, the resulting reinvestment made the Warwick one of the first Kansas City movie theaters to show "Talkies" (movies with sound). Andlauer produced his first feature film, As the World Rolls On, in 1921, starring the famous African American boxer Jack Johnson and filmed throughout Kansas City with an all-Black cast. The Warwick closed in 1953 after Andlauer's death. In the years that followed, the former theater sat vacant for many years and was later home to a thrift store, a furniture store, and a studio for the Soreal Design Company. The building was purchased in 2015 by the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre (MET), which renovated the space for live theatrical performances. However, fire struck the building for a second time in 2024, causing extensive damage and destroying sections of the building. The MET raised money to restore the building once again, and thanks to the efforts of many, the theater reopened in the summer of 2025.

Dedicated on June 26, 2017, this bench outside of the Chevy Chase Community Center commemorates the life of civil rights leader Julian Bond, a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). As SNCC's Communication Director from 1961 to 1965, Bond coordinated the efforts of civil rights activists from the Freedom Rides of 1961 to the Voting Rights campaigns of the mid-1960s. These efforts led to the desegregation of public transportation and businesses, as well as the passage of the landmark civil rights laws of the mid-1960s. He later served as an elected leader in the state legislature of Georgia and was the chairman of NAACP from 1998 to 2010. When Bond passed in 2015, many of the veterans of the Civil Rights movement expressed a desire to create a memorial to their beloved leader and friend. "We were prepared to build the Washington Monument for Julian,” explained Freedom Rider and friend Joan Browning, (but) "all he wanted was a bench." Family and friends, including many of the Freedom Riders who attribute Bond's leadership to their survival and success, worked to dedicate this bench outside Chevy Chase's community center.

This building was constructed in 1919 in the Neoclassical Revival style, which was popular for public buildings in the early 1900s. The idea behind the community center was to create a place that could provide a recreation alternative to saloons and could offer educational programs to alleviate the conditions that drove people to drink. Several notable West Virginians were involved in the temperance and women's suffrage movements, including suffragist Lenna Lowe Yost. An extraordinarily intelligent organizer, Yost dedicated her adult life to pursuing a variety of causes including a successful campaign that led West Virginia to be among the states that ratified the 19th Amendment. In addition to promoting equal political rights for women, she labored on behalf of temperance. Her activist work extended past the borders of the state of West Virginia; she worked in the nation's capital and even served as a delegate in international temperance conventions.

The bronze, over-life-sized equestrian statue honors the life and work of José Julián Martí (1853-1895). Born in Cuba in 1853, the poet and journalist supported Cuban independence from Spain in the late nineteenth century. Despite being deported from Cuba twice and serving six months hard labor for his beliefs, Martí’s revolutionary spirit and desire to see his native island achieve its independence never wavered. While residing in New York City, he founded the Cuban Revolutionary Party in 1892 and began plotting an invasion of Cuba, which he and others hoped would finally bring about the end of Spanish rule on the island. Martí left New York City in late January 1895 and, after spending some time in Florida, landed in Cuba in April. The following month, he was killed during a skirmish with Spanish forces at Dos Ríos. In the 1950s, sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington created the statue. The last major work of her career, she gifted the statue to the Cuban government, which donated it, along with a dark granite pedestal, to the people of New York City. In 1959, the statue was cast, but—in a twist of irony—a revolution in Cuba and subsequent strained diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States delayed its dedication. In 1965, the statue—which depicts the moment Martí was fatally wounded in battle in 1895—was finally unveiled. Nearly thirty years later, in 1992, the Central Park Conservancy completed a full restoration effort on the statue. The organization financed the project through donations from Cuban-American across the United States. Today, it is one of three equestrian statues in Central Park (along with that of Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín) that honor important figures in Latin American history.

Built in 1915 as one of three hotels in this part of Kansas City that catered to traveling workers, the Rieger Hotel was developed by Alexander Rieger, son of Jacob Rieger and founder of Rieger & Co. distillery. The hotel accommodated traveling businessmen, workers, and other individuals needing long-term but temporary accommodations during an era that saw the growth of industry in Kansas City. The hotel was open for only a few, short years before prohibition created a challenge for the family business and Alexander responded by closing the hotel and establishing a bank. The building changed hands several times over the years, accommodating a variety of businesses, including storefronts on the first floor and apartments on the upper stories. In a nod to the building's connection to the Rieger distillery, the building was home to The Rieger restaurant on the first floor and the speakeasy-themed bar Manifesto that occupied the basement.

The brick structure is the national headquarters of Belger Cartage Service, Inc., a company established in Kansas City in 1919 that provides warehousing services at locations in several states along with crane, heavy hauling, and specialty transportation services nationwide. Since 2000, the building has also been home to the Belger Arts Center which has hosted over 100 contemporary art exhibitions. These public exhibitions draw from the extensive Belger Collection as well as a variety of local, national, and international artists. The center is open to the public and provides free guided tours along with a variety of educational experiences ranging from summer art camps for children to adult ceramics classes.

Designed by artist Harry Bertoia and dedicated in 1972, this fountain pays tribute to the seventy-five people who perished in the 1970 Marshall University Plane Crash and the resilience of the university community. Built of welded copper and bronze tubes, the fountain represents life and upward growth and stands in the middle of the Memorial Student Center plaza. From the time of its dedication, this monument has become the central landmark on campus and is the site of an annual ceremony held here each year on November 14, the anniversary of the crash. During the ceremony, the fountain is turned off in remembrance of the 75 who perished that day. The two audio files embedded within this entry include portions of speeches given at the dedication of the fountain and reflections from members of the Marshall University community.

This historic Kansas City building was home to the Savoy Hotel starting in 1888. Five years later, the hotel added the Savoy Grill, the longest-operating restaurant west of the Mississippi River. The restaurant and hotel closed following a 2014 fire, but the building was later renovated and reopened by the 21c hotel chain to include a contemporary art museum along with many tributes to the history of the former historic establishment. Soon after the hotel reopened, the former dining room of the Savoy Grill reopened as the Savoy at 21c Restaurant. Visitors to the restaurant can sit in a booth that was the preferred location of Harry S. Truman and view a series of historically significant murals that were created as part of the restaurant's 1903 opening. These murals by Edward Holslag depict early Kansas City history from pioneers departing Westport on the Sante Fe Trail to the arrival of steamboats on the Missouri River. A short hallway connects these historical works to a contemporary art museum that is open to the public 24 hours a day within the new hotel's lobby. A virtual tour of the hotel's art gallery and restaurant, including the murals by Edward Holsalg, is available within this entry.

The first U.S. Mint was established on April 2, 1792, after Congress passed the Coinage Act. In the colonial era before the Revolutionary War, monetary transactions were conducted using colonial currency, foreign coins, livestock, and produce. After the Revolutionary War, the Articles of Confederation granted states the authority to mint their own coins. When the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788, planning began for the first mint, which would standardize the country's currency and help to forge a national identity. Philadelphia was chosen as the location of the first mint, as the city was capital of the new nation at that time. Not only was the "Philadelphia mint" the first federal building to be constructed under the new Constitution, but it was also the tallest building in Philadelphia up to that point. Over the centuries, each time the Philadelphia mint outgrew its building, a new facility was constructed to house its operations. In 1969, the most recent Philadelphia mint building was constructed in a Modernist style. It is the fourth building to house the U.S. Mint within this city, and half of the nation's coins are minted here. Overall, the U.S Mint includes six separate facilities located in various cities throughout the country.

The Casselman Bridge, also known as the Casselman River Bridge, Old Casselman Bridge, Casselmans Bridge, Castleman's Bridge, and Little Crossings Bridge, is a stone arch bridge that was constructed in 1813-1815 as part of the National Road. The bridge served as a major passageway for westward travelers and frontiersman crossing the Casselman River. It is now preserved by the State of Maryland as a National Historic Landmark.

Built in 1893, the Bradbury Building is one of the oldest buildings in downtown Los Angeles. Also, with its Victorian stylings, the building has starred in many movies, including Blade Runner, Lethal Weapon 4, and Chinatown (1974). It was built for $500,000—three times its original budget—and restored and given a seismic retrofit for $7 million in 1991. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1971) and a National Historic Landmark (1977). There are four buildings in L.A. designated as National Landmarks, and the Bradbury is the oldest of that group.

This historic Murfreesboro church dates back to 1812 when the congregation maintained a modest church edifice at what is now the Old City Cemetery. During the Civil War, that structure was occupied and eventually destroyed by Union troops. A new sanctuary was built at the church’s present location on North Spring Street in 1867. In 1913, that building was mostly destroyed by a tornado. The congregation responded by building this Classical Revival style structure on the same spot within less than a year. This 1914 church continues to serve the congregation and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
