Longview Farm, Historic farm complex in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
The Longview Farm spans 1,780 acres and contains over 50 structures with red tile roofs, stucco exteriors, and elaborate copper weathervanes throughout the property.
Construction started in 1913 under lumber baron Robert Alexander Long, employing 2,000 workers including Belgian craftsmen and Sicilian stonemasons to complete the project by 1916.
The farm functioned as a self-sufficient community with its own chapel, school, residential buildings for employees, and organized transportation to nearby entertainment venues.
The main mansion covers 22,000 square feet with 48 rooms, including 14 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, equipped with steam heating and an early central vacuum system.
Eight miles of white-painted cypress fencing surrounds the property, which features a 20-acre lake, formal gardens, and underground electrical infrastructure from its original construction.
