Originally built in 1917 it has been a Lenexa landmark for over 100 years. Moving farther to the east, and back on the north side of the railroad tracks is the old Lenexa Grain and Feed Elevator. That building was the home of the Lenexa Hotel built in the late 1800s/early 1900s. South of the railroad tracks on the southeast corner of Walnut and Haskins is the Lenexa Parks and Recreation Service Center. Currently, Jerry’s Bait Shop Bar and Grill occupies the downstairs. That building’s second floor housed the Lenexa Telephone office. Two buildings east of the Krumm building is a two story structure (13412 SFTD). His father Mathias Krumm had operated a blacksmith shop on the property. It was built over 95 years ago and was sold in 1932 to Phillips Petroleum.įarther back to the west, is a large two-story stone building (13420 SFTD). The tiny building (13404 SFTD) on the far east end of that row, was Lenexa’s first gas station. The row of buildings on the north side of Santa Fe Trail Drive (SFTD) are unique and historic. Of course, the railroad tracks run south of Santa Fe Trail Drive as they did in the days of Elm Street. That makes current day Pflumm and Santa Fe Trail Drive– First and Elm back in 1869. Our main street through the original 42 acres is Santa Fe Trail Drive, but back then it was Elm Street. However, in 1869 Pflumm was known as 1st Street, Noland was 4th Street, 91st was Sycamore and Oak was Oak. The original 42 acres, which made up Lenexa in August 1869, is bounded on the west by Pflumm Road, Noland Road on the east, 91st Street on the North and Oak Street on the south.
