Statement of Significance: The Michael H. and Rose Katz Residence, 5930 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C and is locally significant in the following area: Architecture: The Michael H. and Rose Katz Residence appears to be one of the most successful residential designs by Kansas City architect, Robert Gornall. The imposing Tudor Style residence, located along Ward Parkway, Kansas City's "Gold Coast," was originally the home of Michael H. Katz, the drug store baron. The Katz Residence is befitting to the vision of developer J. C. Nichols and landscape architects George E. Kessler and Hare and Hare in their planning for the Country Club District and Ward Parkway, the centerpiece of neighborhood. The house stands as an example of some of the "best high-style architecture built in the district for prominent local citizens including M. B. Nelson, Thomas J. Pendergast, George G. Wright and Henry J. Massman."2 The period of significance is 1928, the year the house was constructed.
