On Troost Ave, Kansas City MO_wm

On 57th and Troost Ave, Kansas City, MO. Familiar 7-11 concept with adjacent space, typically leased to a liquor store, looks like.

 

This would be a mid-sixties store, maybe 1967, with flat, sloped roof. The mansard roof would have been added later. No pumps. Maybe never sold gas. Or pumps and tanks were removed.

 

I took the first picture a year ago. The ones taken this year appear quite different, only because the plywood has been removed, exposing the aluminum and glass, and a church congregation has made use of the building.
