Armour Boulevard

Armour Boulevard, Armour, or 35th Street is a major west–east main street that runs in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, from Broadway Boulevard to The Paseo.

In 1900 the park board named the new boulevard for Simeon Brooks Armour (1828-1899), a member of the first official park board and the head of the Kansas City branch of the Armour Meat Packing Industry.

Landscape architect George Kessler designed Armour Boulevard according to the standard 100-foot right-of-way proposed in the first Board of Park Commissioners report of 1893.

In 1928 Armour Boulevard was widened and the curbside row of trees was removed; during the next year the roadway was repaved with asphaltic concrete.

The monumental character of West Armour Boulevard was established by thirteen colonnaded apartment blocks designed by John McKecknie.
