Description
Photograph of St. James Baptist Church at 43rd and Washington Streets in the early 1980s. The church and the house at the right edge of the image are, as of 2018, the only pre-1940 structures remaining on the block, which was part of the historic Steptoe neighborhood, a pre-Civil War African-American neighborhood in the Westport area. The remaining land was reused for the new Kansas City Fire Department Station 19 and a large parking lot.
