Where to stay in Country Club District
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
J. C. Nichols platted lots, not lobbies. Visitors who want the blocks around the National Toy and Miniature Museum or Community Christian Church usually book a room elsewhere in Kansas City and come out for the day, because the Country Club District was drawn for households rather than for guests. Sunset Drive is all houses.

About Country Club District
What are the main landmarks in Country Club District?
What the Country Club District lists is mostly domestic. Named houses account for most of what is listed, among them the Bernard Corrigan House, the Epperson House, the Tom Pendergast House and the Walter E. Bixby House, which is what a district built as housing leaves behind. St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Village Presbyterian Church and Community Christian Church break that pattern from three separate corners, and the National Toy and Miniature Museum is the single address in the district that expects visitors.
Toys aside, the doors are private.
What is the history of Country Club District?
The Country Club District had a single author. J. C. Nichols worked as an urban planner as well as a real estate man, and the Country Club District was the project where both trades ran together, put down as a planned upscale quarter of Kansas City rather than as a subdivision that happened to grow. The listed houses carry personal names, from the Bernard Corrigan House to the Tom Pendergast House.
Growth here was sold, not accreted.
Where is Country Club District?
Several Kansas City neighborhoods sit under a single name here, and streets like Sunset Drive, not a river or a ridge, mark where the Country Club District ends.
