Butler Brothers Lofts

Butler Brothers Lofts is a four-story brick and timber commercial building located on Broadway Boulevard in the heart of Kansas City’s Historic Garment District. Built in 1909 and designated on the National Registry of Historic Places, this building originally served as a dry goods storage warehouse for The Butler Brothers Company. The history of the Butler Brothers dates back to the 19th century founded in 1877 as a mail-order company by George H. Butler and Edward Burgess Butler. In the early 1930s, they developed the Ben Franklin Stores and Federated Stores, both of which were franchised five and dime stores.
