Janssen Place Book Project

About the Book

Bruce Mathews and Steve Mitchell are publishing a book about the historic Janssen Place neighborhood in Kansas City. Its 19 gorgeous homes were built between 1897-1917. Steve and his wife Barbara have lived at 2 Janssen Place since 1985. 


Janssen Place is a unique, one-street neighborhood within the mid-town Hyde Park area. Its exciting story, beginning with its visionary developer, Arthur Stilwell is just waiting to reach a wider audience. Beyond that we are proud that 100% of the proceeds from the new book will benefit two, worthy 501(c)3 entities… The Mount Washington Cemetery Historical Society for the preservation of the William Rockhill Nelson Memorial Chapel, and the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association to further their neighborhood-improvement programs. 

Won’t you help us?

Neither Steve nor Bruce, or any of the other contributing authors, will financially benefit from the book.   Won't you help them by contributing to underwrite the production costs?  You will be recognized in the book for your contribution. 

Your donation is tax deductible.
