Sweeney Automobile School, Technical education center in Kansas City, United States.

The Sweeney School building spanned 12 acres of floor space with facilities for mechanical training and student accommodations across ten stories.

Established in 1908 by Emory Sweeney, the institution started with five students and reached an enrollment peak of 7,197 students by 1919.

The school introduced Kansas City's first radio station, WHB, in 1922, broadcasting local programs and updates about educational activities.

Students received hands-on instruction during eight-week courses, working directly on customer vehicles while supervised by experienced instructors.

The facility contained an Olympic-sized swimming pool in the basement and generated its own electricity, heating, and cooling systems.
