Longview Farm in Lee's Summit, Missouri, United States was built by Robert A.

Scenic and self-sufficient, the farm and dairy even included underground electricity and a 100,000 gallon water tower.

[3] Robert Long made the decision to build the farm and the grandness shows no expense was spared.

A place in the country was needed for his animals as the house in town (Corinthian Hall) was too small.

There were over 50 buildings at Longview and, with the exception of the log grandstand and clubhouse, all were built of stucco with red tile roofs.

There was a power house/garage, a milk house that included a bottling room, an ice plant, a blacksmith shop, post office, firehouse, and general store.

Already owning the Corinthian Hall mansion in Kansas City he decided to build the country estate and purchased the land in Lee's Summit.

He and his wife Ella had a son that died shortly after birth and two girls, Sally America and Loula.

Vernon Finishing School in Washington, D.C. in 1903, Sally went on a world tour where she met her future husband.

Sally traveled with her husband as a military wife while her sister took care of the horses at the farm.

After 65 years of showing horses and winning blue ribbons Loula died in 1971, shortly after her sister.

These included what she termed "the park four"; In 1920 Loula won thirty-one Championships and three Reserves in sixteen shows.

The farm was built as part of a large interrelated collection of buildings that included the farm, show horse faculties including racetrack and grandstand, a chapel/school house, living quarters for the large staff that at one time exceeded 200 workers, and a power house.

Sunday, Oct. 9th, 2005 the school celebrated a dedication ceremony[9] The community of New Longview includes many historically restored buildings with a residential as well as a commercial district.
