Perky Building 2015

Perky Bros was originally established in 1883 as a transfer and storage company in Kansas City.
This now abandoned building was built in 1921.

Perky Bros no longer has a Kansas City presence.
Plus the neighborhood around the building has radically change.
Note the bars on the windows. And the steel door.

Here's what the 1921 building looked like back in 1924 http://www.kchistory.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/Willis&CISOPTR=23&CISOBOX=1&REC=2

and again in 1940 when the building was in use: http://nextrailkc.com/12-historical-analysis/#jp-carousel-504
