Savoy Hotel and Savoy Grill

219 W. 9th Street
Simeon Chamberlain (c. 1888)
Van Brunt and Howe (c. 1898-1900)
Howe, Hoit and Cutler (1903)
Architect, unknown (c. 1905-1906)

Built in four separate phases, the Neo-Classical and Art Nouveau hotel and restaurant unites 19th century wood frame construction with 20th century steel framing. The northeast wing, designed by Chamberlain, was constructed by the Arbuckle Brothers, the “Coffee Kings” of Kansas City. Succeeding additions were financed by the Ewins-Child Hotel Company, which was also responsible for the Savoy Grill.
