About Pendleton Heights
Pendleton Heights is an historic neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
It is located near the downtown loop, between I-35/29 and Chestnut Trafficway to
the west and east, and Independence Boulevard and Cliff Drive to the south and
north.
Pendleton Heights is one of the oldest specifically residential neighborhoods
in Kansas City, preceded only by Quality Hill. It was, however, Kansas City's
first developed suburb, platted in the late nineteenth century from what had
formerly been the 200-acre Jones Farm. Accordingly, the neighborhood is
recognized by the City of Kansas City as an historic district.
The neighborhood boasts Kansas City's first boulevard plus two others, two city
parks, the original city reservoir, one of only two nationally-listed urban
scenic byways and the largest collection of true Victorian homes in the city.
Architectural styles include "Traditional Victorian", American Craftsman,
Italianate, Eastlake, Shingle-Style, Richardsonian Romanesque, "Folk Victorian",
"Kansas City Shirtwaist", Beaux Arts, and grand Queen Anne. The neighborhood
also includes a 19th century castle on the bluffs ("Tiffany Castle") overlooking
the East Bottoms and the Missouri River below. Two homes in Pendleton Heights
are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
