Old Young farmhouse to yield to new K C Hall in Washington
Old Young farmhouse on the corner of North Ave F and West Third street, a centuries old landmark inside the city, burned last September. The Knights of Columbus will relocate to the new Kansas City Hall site after the fire, and the building will honor local history.
