Kansas City, Missouri City in western Missouri

Kansas City abbreviated as “KCMO”, is the largest city in the U.S. state of Missouri, bordering Johnson County and Kansas City, Kansas (KCK) in Kansas. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city had an estimated population of 491,918 in 2018, making it the 38th most-populous city in the United States. It is the most populated municipality of the Kansas City metropolitan area, which straddles the Kansas–Missouri state line. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a Missouri River port at its confluence with the Kansas River coming in from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after.

Architecture

The building, which began construction in 1909 and was completed in 1911, was the largest livestock exchange building in the world. [2] In 1957, a one-story addition was constructed on the south side of the building for the Golden Ox restaurant which had opened in the building in 1949.

Golden Ox former steakhouse in Kansas City

The Golden Ox was a steakhouse restaurant located in the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange building in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 1949, the Golden Ox was the birthplace of the Kansas City strip steak. The Golden Ox was often regarded as the oldest steakhouse in Kansas City, because while Jess & Jim's Steakhouse opened more than a decade earlier in 1938, the Martin City area where Jess & Jim's is located was not annexed by Kansas City until 1963. The original Golden Ox location closed permanently following dinner on December 20, 2014. On June 8, 2018, new owners leased the space and reopened the Golden Ox in a renovated portion of the original space.

The building has been renovated and currently serves as an office building with numerous business and personal services, including but not limited to, a coffee shop that also serves breakfast and lunch, barber/stylist, a health club including a masseuse, and a U.S. Post Office (the post office closed as of December 2008.)
