Welcome to the website of the Historic Westheight Neighborhood Association
​
We are a nonprofit volunteer organization established to improve life in Kansas City's Historic Westheight Neighborhood. 
Read more about what's happening NOW in our bimonthly neighborhood newsletter.


Who we are
Historic Westheight Manor has one of the richest architectural histories in all of Kansas City.

Notable architects such as Louis S. Curtiss, Victor J. Defoe (who began his career with J.C.Nichols), Edward Buehler Delk (who also helped build the Country Club Plaza), J.G. Braecklein and W.W. Rose all contributed to this unique community.

The neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and The Kansas State Registry of Historic Places.

The houses built in Westheight Manor cover many styles that were popular  from the 1880s to the 1970s - from Queen Anne, to Craftsman, to Twenties Tudor, to Prairie Style, to Mid-Century Modern, to California Ranch.  We invite you to take a walking or driving tour of the Neighborhood.
​INFORMATION FOR REALTORS
The Historic Westheight Neighborhood Asso-ciation is not a Home Owners Association, rather, it is a volunteer organization open to anyone who has an interest in preserving the historic character of the Westheight Manor Registered Historic District.  There are no fees or assessments against properties or indi-viduals, dues paid by members are voluntary.
Almost all properties in Westheight Manor subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 are part of the Registered Historic District.  Any improve-ments or changes, especially to the outside facade of any structure, may be governed by the UG Landmarks Commission local ordinance, the Kansas State Historical Society, and Standards for Rehabilitation from the U.S. Dept of Interior.

8VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Volunteers  needed to keep up the common areas in our neighborhood.  If you want to help out, contact 
​info@historicwestheight.org

Also, as you walk the neighborhood, please be kind and pick up trash, etc. (especially after your dog!) to help keep the neighborhood looking its best.

For a more coordinated effort we seek volunteers to help pick up trash from time to time.  Ideally, each volunteer would be available once every other week for 30-45 minutes to go out with trash bags and collect trash on streets.  There are trash cans located at Westheight Park, so the trash bags may be tied up and disposed of there.

Volunteers should contact Ryann Waller by text or by phone call at:  
785-218-5014
by Feb. 28, 2021 for more info.
We need neighbors and volunteers to take down Bows from the Lamp posts throughout the neighborhood. Weather has delayed this project, and no new date has yet been set..  Please volunteer by calling Michelle Peterson, Chair, or send an email to info@historicwestheight.org
