OVERVIEW

A 48-room Gothic Revival mansion completed in 1923 for insurance magnate Uriah Epperson; donated to the University of Kansas City (now UMKC) in 1942, it later housed offices and student space and is being redeveloped.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Reports date to Navy cadets housed here in World War II describing a woman in white; the story is often tied to Harriet Barse, a musician close to the family who died in 1922.
