Freight House, Railroad building in Crossroads Arts District, Kansas City, Missouri.
The five-story brick building stretches 500 feet along the railway tracks, featuring large windows and industrial architectural elements from the 1880s period.
Built in 1887, this railroad structure served as a central point for merchants to collect their freight shipments from incoming trains throughout Kansas City's commercial expansion.
Three restaurants now occupy the renovated structure, including Lidia's Kansas City, Jack Stack Barbecue, and Grunauer, representing Italian, American, and Austrian cuisines.
The building connects to Union Station via a pedestrian bridge, with parking available on Baltimore Avenue and West 22nd Street in Kansas City.
The 1892 railroad span incorporated into the pedestrian bridge maintains the structural connection to the location's transportation heritage.
