This is your chance to stay in one of Kansas City's most elite pieces of history!!! Located in the Crossroads Art District, one of KC's most entertaining areas, the historic No. 8 Hose and Reel Firehouse is the oldest still-standing fire station in Kansas City! The firehouse was originally built in 1885, which was 17 years after K.C.F.D. had its commencement in 1868. The firehouse was fully renovated in 2021 by a world famous interior designer and architect, Kennedy Van Trump, from Columbia University. The downstairs has also been converted into a charity to support firefighters across the city! This penthouse sits within walking distance to the whole Crossroads Arts District, which is Kansas City's eclectic enclave of boutique shops, one-of-a-kind restaurants, creative businesses, studios, art galleries and home of 1st Fridays entertainment.
