History

It was designed by local architect, Rudolf Markgraf and built in 1899. It is a three-story, Second Renaissance Revival style brick and stone dwelling with terra cotta ornamentation. It has two-story rear section and measures approximately 55 feet long and 42 feet wide. It features a cast iron cornice, oriel window, and columns. Also on the property is a contributing carriage house. The house was built for a Dr. Generous Henderson (1844–1924). His medical practice in Kansas City went on for forty-five years. The house is one of the few surviving examples of the Second Renaissance Revival style of architecture in Kansas City.[2]:2, 7

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

gollark: Good for them?
gollark: It's the holidays now and I don't actually have the hardware, so I'm going to research OpenCV stuff, come up with a nice way to remote-control it, and look into better motors.
gollark: Currently all it can do usefully is move slightly, the ultrasonic sensor/accelerometer thing aren't hooked up to this Pi.
gollark: One of them seems to be mismatched, so it veers horribly left.
gollark: The ultrasonic one is easy, the accelerometer/gyro was mildly annoying due to poor docs but is doing things now, getting useful stuff from the camera means complex computer vision things.
