Harris-Kearney House, Historic residence in Westport, United States.
The two-story brick Harris-Kearney House features Greek Revival architecture with symmetrical facades, decorative cornices, and original nineteenth-century window designs.
Built in 1855 by Colonel John Harris, the house served as a headquarters for Union forces during the Battle of Westport in the Civil War.
The Westport Historical Society maintains the house as a museum, presenting exhibits about early Kansas City life and the families who shaped local development.
The museum offers guided tours Thursday through Saturday, allowing visitors to explore period furnishings and architectural details from the 1850s.
In 2018, the property received a brass plaque honoring Harriet Drisdom Kearney, the first African American buried in Union Cemetery's previously restricted section.
