Cleopatra, Kansas City

Cleopatra and its twin neighbor Alexander are Prairie Style residences built in the 1920s. Their distinctive facades contain sweeping horizontal bands of stucco and masonry capped by expansive clay tile roofs, which extend to offer shade to the broad 2-story porches overlooking the quiet, tree-lined sidewalks of Locust Street. Alexander and Cleopatra were renovated in 2013 with a modern aesthetic that includes stainless steel appliances and maple cabinetry complemented by color-coordinating accent tile.
