KCP&L Building by Night 2

Built as an architectural testament to light and energy, the Kansas City Power & Light building appropriately shines over the night skyline, as seen here, in thanks to a six-story lantern that tops the skyscraper. Completed in 1931 by firm Hoit, Price, and Barnes, the building’s 30 stories of limestone present a powerful example of Art Deco architecture. The building does not shine as brightly from all angles: the west side of the tower remains entirely bare of windows.
