Kansas City Queen Anne

This Queen Anne home was built in 1887 in Kansas City, Missouri, for lumber baron Charles B. Leach.

The home incorporates many of the typical Queen Anne features: dentil molding, tower, steeply pitched roof, Palladian windows, dormers, gables, and box-bay windows. A dumbwaiter connects from the basement through the kitchen and the back stairs, and on up to the third floor (which is an unfinished ballroom).
