Colorized photo from 1906
Original Title: Petticoat Lane, Kansas City, Mo.
Location: The corner of 11th and Main, Looking towards Walnut as a cross street ahead, Kansas City, Missouri
Located on 11th street, between Main and Grand, this street was known as Petticoat lane. Lots of high priced stores, Dentists, Candy shops in this area. It was such a popular location that people had to walk on the street because there was little space left on the sidewalk. Large department stores opened here and remained for a long time.
Today, this area is commercial, and all the buildings you see here, are gone . The longest lasting building was the Emery Bird Thayer building which sold dry goods (clothing).
If your wondering what Vitalized Air is (on the dental sign), its a mixture of Sleeping gas and Chloroform.
