The old Vine Street Workhouse of Kansas City, from early last century. A couple friends and I were meandering about on Sunday and stopped here. The entire interior has collapsed in, and is now utilized as an informal dumping ground.

A website dedicated to the history of the workhouse can be found HERE.

Odd isn’t it that such a place of misery and ignobility still displays better architectural acuity than all the postmodernist dreck our cities must endure through nowadays when government entities expand and zoning code-influenced urban planning methods are used.
