Country Club District

The Country Club District is just south of the Country Club Plaza, both developed by J C Nichols.  This is a group of historical upscale neighborhoods.  The area was built in stages between 1906 and 1950.  This area goes on forever with tall tree lined streets, deep lawns and beautiful homes.

Happy Halloween

Meyers Circle Fountain


Named The Seahorse Fountain.  JC Nichols developed the Country Club Plaza and this area south of the Plaza.   I displayed many photo of the Plaza in Sept.   JC Nichols found the center piece of this fountain in Venice, Italy where it had stood for 300 years.  He purchased it and the fountain was completed in 1925.   This fountain has survived vandalism and car crashes.
