In 1905 Shelby Daniel had a house built for his family at 3537 Virginia Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. 74 years later my husband Gary and I purchased this home.
116 years after Shelby built this house I would discover that he and I are 5th cousins.
Shelby's house is a Kansas City shirtwaist variant and was built by a builder, not architect designed, in what is now the Squire Park neighborhood.
Squire Park was developed between 1887 and 1915 by James J Squier and his son-in-law Robert V Jones. This neighborhood is considered an early streetcar suburb because of its development along the city's transportation lines. |

The original owners of Squire Park homes were upper-middle class citizens of Kansas City: attorneys, successful entrepreneurs, presidents, vice-presidents and managers of various companies from automobiles and jewelry to lumber and iron. Among the residents were high-ranking officials in the railroad industry, while others worked in more creative fields as arts and architects.
