Join KCmodern for a tour of the two most important examples of Modernist religious architecture in Kansas City. The tour includes access to Community Christian Church by Frank Lloyd Wright and St. Francis Xavier Church by Barry Byrne, who was an apprentice to Wright.
These churches from 1942 and 1950 respectively represent the post WWII movement away from the traditional ecclesiastical styles such as Gothic, Romanesque and Classical. Going forward from this point Modernism would be the style du jour for Kansas City Sacred Architecture. Both of these churches were recognized recently for their importance with listings on the National Register of Historic Places and we are fortunate to have the people responsible for shepherding these projects through that process acting as our guides to these magnificent examples of Modern Places of Worship.
