Kessler Park Historic District |
The area known as Kessler Park and served by Kessler Neighbors United (KNU) neighborhood organization consists of several developments dating from the 1920’s until the 1960’s. All of the developments incorporate the Kessler name with the exception of Sam Dealey Estates and Timbergrove. A significant portion of the area served by KNU is listed on the National Register of Historic places. George Kessler, a landscape architect from Kansas City , Missouri , advocated the integration of greenbelts in urban developments. The four additions that comprise the Kessler Park Historic District were named for him; however, research has failed to establish a direct connection between Kessler and the development. Note that Kessler died in 1923. Kessler Neighbors United |
