"The
Western Auto Building, also known as the
Coca-Cola Building or the
Candler Building, is located at 2007 Grand Avenue in the
Crossroads neighborhood of
Kansas City, Missouri.
The twelve-story
Commercial-style building was designed by
Arthur C. Tufts & Co. and built by the Swenson Construction Co. for the
Coca-Cola Co. in 1914. It later was the headquarters of the
Western Auto Supply Co., whose multistory lighted sign still tops the building. The building and its sign are visible from much of the Crossroads and the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as to drivers on
Interstate 35. This visibility, together with the structure's longevity, has made the Western Auto Building a city landmark.
The building was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1988
[1] and is now a loft condominium.
