BEFORE THE URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM, BOTH FELIX & FREDERICK
AVENUE BEGAN/MET AT 8th STREET, THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE


8TH & FELIX LISTINGS BEGINS HERE





Circa 1916
Preparedness Parade
8th & Felix

This is a postcard of the past as published in St Joseph News Press
This postcard is a 1916 photograph showing a June 28, 1916 Preparedness Parade, which happened about a year before the nation entered World War I.
While the corner at Eighth and Felix has changed a bit through the years, the building on the southwest corner still stands, along with all the buildings on the south side of Felix between Seventh and Eighth. The north side is now Coleman Hawkins Park.
This postcard and others can be purchased in the gift shop at the St. Joseph Museum.

    RUDOLPH'S RED CROSS PHARMACY
    837 Frederick Avenue
    Demolished during Urban Renewal

    In 1910, D. E. Curtain and H. L. Perkins obtained ownership of the pharmacy
    The last owners of this drug store were Victor and Louis Randolf
    The Rudolfs had operated this drug store for 45 years

    It was one of the few in the world allowed to use the name Red Cross
    The drug store had been in operation for 95 years. It was founded before the chartering of the Red Cross, the international aid organization so it was able to use the name Red Cross

    In 1972, the city filed an eviction action against the Red Cross Pharmacy because the Urban Renewal Program was wanting the city block on which the drug store was located for parking purposes

    The remainder of the block in which the drug store was located had already been acquired by the urban renewal authority

    Rather than relocating to another location, the Rudolfs just went out of business
    I am sure it is missed by many people

    Thomas W. Paul was the 1972 Urban Renewal executive director

    This was a block that was bounded by Felix, Francis and 9th Streets

    Both of the 2 photos are views looking westward from 9th & Francis

    Demolished during Urban Renewal

    This triangular building was originally the Bartlett Trust Company
    It was razed during the Urban Renewal program, it was a very hard to destroy building
    Demolition teams had to cut a large hole at each floor to allow a bulldozer to be inserted
    The bulldozer knocked down walls inside so each floor could then be demolished
    The Bartlett Trust Company was located in this building in the 1920's
    The First State Bank occupied this building in 1927
    The building shared Felix & Frederick Streets thus also shared 2 addresses
    Numerous committees fought to save this unique building during Urban Renewal
    However, they failed to prevent it's destruction
    It was listed in the 1953 city directory as the KFEQ building
    The KFEQ radio station occupied the entire 4th floor
    It was also once the home of KUSN radio station. (AKA Kissin' KUSN)
    Home Savings and Loan is known to have had their office here in 1962
    Because of the 1970's Urban Renewal program, a rarely used and defective multi-level municipal parking lot was constructed and consumed this area
    In 2016, Mosaic Hospital was given the defective multi-level parking garage if they would raze it and rebuild a safe parking lot in it's place
    The area is currently under construction and will become a multi-story parking garage with space for retail storefronts

    MISSOURI METHODIST HOSPITAL
    METHODIST MEDICAL CENTER
    HEARTLAND WEST HOSPITAL
    HEARTLAND REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
    8th & Faraon
    Demolished By Heartland Hospital

    Missouri Methodist Hospital opened in 1924 at 8th & Faraon

    Next to it was another hospital constructed of the blond bricks which operated under two different names: Osteopathic Hospital and Mercy Hospital

    Missouri Methodist purchased the Mercy Hospital around 1957

    Carder Hall opened in the 1950's as a dorm for the student nurses at Missouri Methodist Hospital

    It was named in honor of Dr. Carder who was head of Missouri Methodist Hospital

    Sometime in the 1960's, the hospital dropped Missouri from it's name becoming Methodist Hospital

    It remained Methodist Hospital until the 1970's when it became Methodist Medical Center

    Methodist Medical Center had the new hospital built on Riverside Road

    It was then that Heartland Health System was formed. The name was changed again to Heartland West

    For a while it was known as Heartland Regional Medical Center

    The 2 hospitals were finally joined in 1984

    With the Sister's Hospital gone, Heartland Hospital now has a monopoly in St Joseph

    The entire hospital complex was torn down several years ago thus creating about an 8 square block vacant lot in the downtown area

    New houses are scheduled to be built within this big lot
