The Rumely Upper Level
in downtown kansas city
Located in Historic West Bottoms
Our signature space is The Rumely Tractor Historic Event Space (2nd Floor). At approximately 6,500 sq ft of interior space, there’s enough room for a seated dinner for up to 400 of your guests, but it is warm and welcoming for more intimate parties as well. It features a secluded bridal chamber and groom suite, each with a private bathroom.
The massive freight elevator is complete with chandeliers and feels more like a time machine than a way of ascending to the space. You and your guests will be transported back to a time when opulence and style were a way of life; a time when industrial tycoons in horse drawn carriages shared the streets with the cities first automobiles.
It’s an experience you will never forget.
History of The Rumely Building
Originally based in LaPorte, Indiana, Advance-Rumely Co. built thousands of small Oil-Pull tractors and Rumely separators. In the first decade of the new century, Rumely was a worldwide industry leader in the years leading up to World War I.
The company’s success allowed for expansion, and the Advance-Rumely Co. bought this building in 1924. The building was then used as a WWII tank manufacturing plant in the 1940s, after which time it has been privately owned.
We partner with various local companies to bring you the best experience possible. From liquor and catering packages to staffing and production.
