Art and Architecture on the Plaza . . . Architectural Elements and Mythology

Photos and drawings were created by Liesa Schroeder's students at Santa Fe Trail Elementary School, Independence Missouri School District.
The Plaza is a mixture of European and Spanish styles of architecture. Decorative architectural elements, such as celestial symbols, are seen in the design of the doorways and windows. Suns, stars, and moons can be viewed on towers, in tilework, entrances, doorways, and windows.
The Plaza contains many unique statuary, fountains, and iron fixtures that reference Greek and Roman mythology. The J.C. Nichols Company has spent over one million dollars for the purchase of the outdoor artwork.
