With the money the university charges, it's too bad they didn't use some of it to take better care of such an important piece of history. They have not been a very good steward.
It’s so sad, that the people gave their house to a university and y’all let you fall apart. A disgrace, the College should actually donate it to somebody that will maintain and love it the way it should be....!!!
Shameful...if the university put some money back into it, it could make money for the university. It would be a beautiful place to host formal events and maybe even weddings. And what happened to the books? They would be worth a fortune. They didn't take care of the house but I really hope that the books were properly preserved.
So sad and disappointed that UMKC didn't appreciate the value of this property been neglected it to this point of disrepair. Sad that is not respect or even enough vision to realize the posibilities of this property, Sad that they didnt appreciete this magnificent gift! SHAME on UMKC
my father and i (allegedly) snuck in to that building when i was about 7, he was quite unwell and he wanted to do a Ouija board ritual there, and we did it in the dining room, though whats weird is that it was not in the condition of the video in my memory but looked nearly exactly as it did in the black and white photo, even being fully furnished. i need to know how long its been void of the furnishings
This is sad. Someone needs to restore this house. I can’t believe they’re letting this historical house fall apart on their campus… tragic.
There's a UMKC historian on staff?
I worked at UMKC 20 years ago and Epperson was used for the Architectural school at the time.

How could you cut off the video as you go up the stairs!?
Can visitors tour the house, or is it only open to students and/or staff?
