Description

This building was constructed as the town post office by the Treasury Department in 1939. Purchased and used as the City Hall from the 1960’s to 2006, the building is still owned by the City of Lee’s Summit but is on a short-term lease to ReDiscover, a mental health organization, for offices. With the passage of a recent bond issue, the City will be turning the structure over to the Lee’s Summit Historical Society for use as a museum.

-Denise Chisum, City Clerk for the City of Lee’s Summit
