The Greek Revival mansion was built in 1855 by early settlers, John and Henrietta Harris, and is the oldest remaining brick residence in Kansas City having been built with bricks hand-made on the property. The house stands prominently on the Battle of Westport Civil War Battlefield and in the fall of 1861-62, the Harris home was used as headquarters for the Union Army. Son-in law, Charles E. Kearney—Father of the Railroad in Kansas City--also owned the home. The mansion, which was moved one half-block to its present location in 1922, has been restored to its 1850'sappearance and includes many family pieces. The Harris-Kearney House is one of the most paranormally active sites in Kansas City.
