National Register of Historic Places - Edward Lucky Scarritt House (Scarritt, Edward Lucky, Residence /Scarritt-Royster Residence)

Statement of Significance: The Edward Lucky Scarritt Residence, 3500 Gladstone Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri, is a major surviving work of the Kansas City architect, Frederick E. Hill. An amalgam of the Shingle and Georgian Revival styles of architecture in its locale, original interiors and exteriors are preserved intact. Additionally, the house was the home of one of the city's outstanding citizens, Edward Lucky Scarritt. Constructed in 1898-99, the Scarritt Residence is an example of one of the imposing residences built on Gladstone Boulevard, a fashionable residential neighborhood following the selection by Robert A. Long, a Kansas City, civic leader, of the site of his home at 3218 Gladstone at the turn of the century. Designed by Frederick E. Hill, the actual construction was supervised by Martin C. Tomlinson. Edith Sheridan and Alice E. Neale, both of Chicago, completed the interior decoration. During the planning stages (1897-99), E.L. Scarritt was in close contact with architect Hill on the design and construction of the residence, which when completed cost $15,000. According to family correspondence, the rectangular shape and size of the house as well as the interior embellishments and main staircase design were the results of Scarritt's personal tastes. The yard surrounding the home originally included the entire block, but during his term as judge of the Circuit Court, Scarritt sold off part of the property. Immediately to the east Judge Walter A. Powell built his home; Judge Edward B. Fields bought and erected a house east of Judge Powell. Hence the nickname for the block: "Judge's Row."
