Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio State Historic Site

The Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio State Historic Site is a state-owned property located at 3616 Belleview, Kansas City, Missouri, that preserves the house and studio of Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton.

The historic site was established in 1977 and is managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Tours are provided that show the furnished house and studio as Benton left it when he died on January 19, 1975.

Although not overly large, the house has a fortress-like appearance owing to its elevation above street level and the random ashlar masonry of its limestone front.

The home is approximately 7800 square feet on 31⁄2 floors, containing 24 rooms, 4 fireplaces on 3 chimneys, and a full finished basement.
