About the 55th Showhouse
The 2025 Symphony Designers’ Showhouse is located in the Roanoke Historic District across the street from the Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio. The Water Permit for the house was issued in October, 1906. The house stands on the original grounds of the Kansas City Inter-State Fair at the turn of the 20th century. A recently discovered article in the Kansas City Star in 1933 concerning the death of architect E.H. Farrar of the firm Shepard and Farrar says that the home of W.D. Johnson in Roanoke was the work of their firm.

In 1914 the property was sold to Alvin L. Harroun. He first worked as vice president of Builders Material Supply Co. and his most famous business endeavor was the Lucky Tiger Gold Mine which many many millionaires in Kansas City.

Over the years, the house has been home to three families and in May 2024 was sold to Tim and Julie Steele who then turned the home over to the Kansas City Symphony Alliance for the 55th Symphony Designers’ Showhouse.
