Headquarters

[edit]

The company headquarters is located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri in the historic Boley Building. The six-story steel frame building was constructed in 1909 and was designed in the Art-Nouveau style by architect Louis Curtiss. The building is one of the world's first metal-and-glass curtain-wall buildings and the first to use rolled-steel columns.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
