The H.W. Gates Funeral Home is a historical landmark in Kansas City, Kansas, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP).

Description[edit]

The building is located at 1901 Olathe Bouelevard and was established in the mid-1890s by Horatio W. and Mary Gates.[2] That Gates family was among the first licensed embalmers in the state, and they built this Neoclassical-style funeral home in 1922 to house their growing business. Designed by Architect Fred S. Wilson in 1922, it served as the Gates family residence as well as their place of business. The 2+1⁄2-story building was built in the Neoclassical style.[3] The Gates Funeral Home was run by three generations over almost 100 years in the Rosedale neighborhood of Kansas City.
