Kansas City Workhouse — Attraction in Kansas City

Nice place to visit, with historic connotations and plenty of rubble to hurt yourself climbing on, this building was originally a place to imprison the vagrants, drunks, vagabonds, hysterical women and “uglies” of the local area, where they could be hidden from the knowledge and public view of people- because dispute what our history books now may say, our government has always consisted of heartless, money grubbing, shallow, self serving and rotten people with a general lack of understanding and compassion for thier fellow man, These days, this crumbling facade is all that remains of the building, but the basic condition of our leadership still rings true. And so, on this day, the harvest supermoon of 2024, those new come vagrants, vagabonds, and homeless come to occupy this castle, in honor of them who came before- where once we were placed and forced to stay, now, the governing body will beg us to leave.

I'd just say that at 126 years old (2023) you can feel all the history there. Something about a grand structure left abandoned just hits different. 10/10, One of my favorite places in the...

This is not open to the public. It's a landmark in disarray. Years ago it was supposed to be torn down but it was declared a historic landmark preventing it's demolition. The building was for sale for years and was trashed much worse then you see it today. Approximately three years ago the building was sold to a private individual. It was then cleaned up. All trash removed and they had a wedding there. If you look you can find pictures online. After that the owner encouraged/allowed the public to paint artwork on every inch of the place. I wish something different was being done with the castle but I don't own it and neither does the government. It will stay like it is until it is sold again or the owner decides to do something with it. Restoration is a nice idea but that would...
