Information on "Drakemore". Drakemore was a real estate promotion in the 1895-1905 timeframe, the brain child of one Dimmick Daniel Drake. Drakemore even had its own Post Office from 1898 to 1902, and extended from about 47th St to 83rd St, from Wornall to the Paseo. It was annexed to Kansas City before WWI. I am doing some research on Drake, and only have the slightest data on his residence in Kansas City from the mid-1880's to about 1905. Any suggestions you might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated. Bob Rezny
