Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio State Historic Site
Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio State Historic Site, Artist residence and workspace in Kansas City, United States.
The limestone building contains 24 rooms across three floors, with the converted carriage house serving as the artist's creative workspace until 1975.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources established this state historic site in 1977, preserving the home where artist Thomas Hart Benton lived from 1939.
The residence contains original furnishings, art supplies, and personal items that demonstrate the daily life of a prominent American Regionalist painter.
Guided tours operate Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM at 3616 Belleview Avenue.
The studio remains exactly as Benton left it upon his death, with paint brushes in coffee cans and an unfinished canvas on the easel.
