University Health Truman Medical Center

University Health Truman Medical Center, previously Truman Medical Center–Hospital Hill (abbreviated TMC Hospital Hill), is a 238-bed acute care and outpatient hospital located in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. University Health Truman Medical Center has one of the busiest adult emergency departments (EDs) in the Kansas City metropolitan area with more than 60,000 visits a year. It is located in Downtown Kansas City, across from Children's Mercy Hospital and connected via a skybridge, having access for pediatric transfers when necessary. The hospital is affiliated with the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine and provides training base for its four- and six-year medical programs. The facility is equipped with diverse fields of services including ED, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiology, and radiology. History The origins of University Health Truman Medical Center began in 1870 with the construction of City Hospital at 22nd Street and McCoy Avenue (now Kenwood Avenue) in Kansas City. Voters approved a bond issue in 1903 to fund the construction of a new larger General Hospital because the 175-bed hospital was deemed insufficient for the growing city. In 1905, Thomas Swope donated 4.5 acres of land on Gillham Road between 23rd and 24th Streets. In 1908, the new 600-bed General Hospital opened. A new racially segregated hospital was built in 1930, with old General Hospital No. 1 being for white patients and new General Hospital No. 2 becoming the "colored division". The hospitals merged in 1957, and the newly integrated hospital eventually became the teaching hospital for the newly established University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine. The hospital officially opened at its present-day location in 1976. On December 30, 1986, a fire ignited in a patient's room in the hospital due to smoking, ultimately resulting in the death of two patients. The fire caused the evacuation of over 50 patients, and several staff members and medical students required treatment for smoke inhalation. In 2021, the hospital changed its name from Truman Medical Center-Hospital Hill to University Health Truman Medical Center.

Kansas City Union Station

Kansas City Union Station – stacja kolejowa w Kansas City, w stanie Missouri, w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Historia Na przełomie XIX i XX wieku, Kansas City Terminal Railway, spółka kontrolująca 12 linii kolejowych obsługujących Kansas City, podjęła decyzję o budowie nowego dworca. Dotychczasowa lokalizacja była narażona na zalanie przez rzeki Kansas i Missouri. Nowe miejsce znajdowało się wyżej, z dala od terenów zalewowych, na południe od śródmiejskiej dzielnicy biznesowej. Projekt budynku powierzono Jarvisowi Huntowi, zwolennikowi ruchu Piękne Miasta. Dworzec obejmował halę główną przeznaczoną do sprzedaży biletów, a także poprzeczną salę nad torami dla pasażerów oczekujących. Stację Beaux-Arts otwarto w dniu 30 października 1914 i stała się drugim co do wielkości dworcem kolejowym w kraju. Budynek posiada powierzchnię 79 000 m². Grand Hall ma 29 m wysokości i znajdują się tam trzy żyrandole o wadze 1600 kg każdy oraz zegar o średnicy tarczy 1,8 m. Ze względu na centralne położenie, Kansas City było węzłem dla pasażerskiego i towarowego transportu kolejowego. W 1945 roku roczny ruch pasażerski osiągnął maksimum na poziomie 678 363 podróżnych. Ruch kolejowy spadł na początku lat 50., a miasto nie potrzebowało tak dużej stacji kolejowej. W roku 1973 odprawiono tylko 32 842 pasażerów. Wszystkie pociągi pasażerskie uruchamiane są przez Amtrak, a stan budynku zaczął się pogarszać. Władze miasta Kansas City chciały zachować i przebudować budynek. Aby to ułatwić, zawarto porozumienie z Trizec, kanadyjską firmą. Porozumienie zobowiązywało Trizec do przebudowy stacji. Między 1979 i 1986 Trizec zbudował dwa budynki biurowe na otaczającej nieruchomości, ale nie przebudował stacji. W 1985 roku Amtrak przeniosła obsługę wszystkich przewozów pasażerskich do mniejszego obiektu. Dworzec został całkowicie zamknięty. W 1988 r. miasto pozwało Trizec za brak prac przy stacji, sprawa została rozstrzygnięta w 1994 roku. Przez większość tego okresu, budynek nadal ulegał degradacji. 12 linii kolejowych, które obsługiwały Union Station w Kansas City skrócono. Po otwarciu były to: Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern, Santa Fe, Rock Island, Katy, Frisco, Wabash, Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific, Chicago Burlington & Qunicy, Chicago Great Western, Chicago & Alton i Missouri Pacific. Liczne fuzje przez lata pozostawiły pod oryginalnymi nazwami tylko Kansas City Southern oraz Union Pacific.

Union Station, Kansas City

Union Station i Kansas City, Missouri, uppfördes år 1914. Byggnaden ersatte den existerande järnvägsstationen som låg i ett översvämningsområde. Med en byggnadsyta på nästan 79 000 kvadratmeter innehöll byggnaden ursprungligen 900 rum och kunde hysa tiotusentals passagerare. 1945 beräknas 678 363 passagerare ha använt Union Station. 1973 hade den siffran sjunkit till 32 842 passagerare. 1933 kunde Union Station ses i tidningsrubriker runt om i landet, då ett gäng genom att skjuta ned fyra obeväpnade FBI-agenter försökte frita Frank Nash, som dock också dödades under eldgivningen. Efter att ha undgått att rivas ner under 80-talet renoverades stationen mellan 1996 och 1999 till en kostnad av ungefär 250 miljoner dollar varav hälften finansierades av en åttondels cent momshöjning i fem närliggande countyn och resten kom från privata investerare och statliga bidrag. Union Station har sedan dess ökat i popularitet då en mängd restauranger öppnats och utställningar (bland annat om Dödahavsrullarna och Liberty Bell 7) hållits. Idag drivs Union Station helt utan statliga eller offentliga bidrag. Amtrak trafikerar idag tågdelen av Union Station.

Utz Site

The Utz Site, designated by the Smithsonian trinomial 23SA2, is a major Native American archaeological site in Saline County, Missouri, located on bluffs overlooking the Missouri River. Partially preserved in Van Meter State Park, it is the site of one of the largest early Contact Native villages in the region, which was occupied by the Missouri tribe from c. 15th to the late 18th centuries, and was probably their principal village area during their first contact with Europeans. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. Description The Utz Site is located in central Missouri, north of the city of Marshall and south of Miami. It is roughly 200 acres (81 ha) in size. A small portion is in an outlying part of Van Meter State Park, whose main feature is the so-called Old Fort; the rest is on private land. It is on a series of grassy hills, roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the present course of the Missouri River. The site was first noted by French explorers, beginning with Pere Marquette, whose 1673 map placed "Messourit" Indians here. It appears to have been abandoned about 1728, around the time a French fort on the river to the north was also abandoned, as there is a distinct absence of European trade goods from after that time. The site has been known for some time, due in part to its proximity to the Old Fort's distinctive earthworks, and was first studied archaeologically in the 1940s. The ancestral people preceding the Missouri tribe, who also lived on the Utz site, are defined as Oneota.

Utz Site and Old Fort are included in the National Register of Historic Places. The park originated when Annie Vanmeter deeded 369 acres to the state in 1932. The Civilian Conservation Corps was active in the park from 1934 to 1935. The large shelter house and the small shelter house in the Walnut Grove that survive from that era have been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Vernon County Courthouse (Missouri)

Vernon County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Nevada, Vernon County, Missouri. It was built between 1906 and 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The Romanesque Revival style building is constructed of Carthage stone; its architect was R.G. Kirsch of St. Louis. The appropriation for the building was $75,000. Three years after its completion, at a cost of $95,215.38, electric light fixtures were installed throughout the building; and a judge's chamber, jury room, and library were added adjacent to the courtroom. The current Vernon County Courthouse was the third one to be built in Nevada; the first was a two-story building one block west of the present day courthouse. In addition to the court, it was also used for church services. At the outbreak of the Civil War, the population of Nevada was 425. The first courthouse was burned during the Civil War. On 2 May 1863, a group of pro-Union militiamen from neighboring Cedar County stormed the courthouse, only to be killed by the Vernon County defenders. When the Union men did not return home, a larger militia force rode on Nevada. They gave the inhabitants 15 minutes to gather their belongings, then burned the entire town to the ground. Within the courthouse on the arched walls outside the courtroom, beautiful painted murals of the prairie have long been hidden beneath layers of paint and need to be recovered. Also on the property is the contributing granite and bronze William Joel Stone Monument (1934-1935), a memorial to Missouri politician William J. Stone (1848-1918). References
