Club 1000 is located at 1000 Broadway KCMO 64105 on the corner of 10th street and Broadway Blvd. in the historic downtown garment district. This historic building is located within the confines of the friendly Quality Hill neighborhood. The building is a traditional loft building built in the year 1904 and completed in April of the year 1905.
The building was designed by Daniel Frankel who was part owner of “The Keokuk Building Company” which owned and operated the property. Starting in the 1920’s the building was home to many of the garment districts textile manufactures and clothing factories. At one time, Kansas City’s garment district was second to only New York City in size.
On February 27th of the year 1939, J.C. Nichols acting as a trustee for the last will of William Rockhill Nelson (The Nelson Art Gallery), purchased the building from an heir to the original owners of “The Keokuk Building Company”. In 1977 the building was purchased by Jerry and Lenore Berkowitz and was home to “Mister Guy” a regional chain of fifteen men’s and women’s classic & traditional clothing stores. In October of 1979 the building was listed on “The National Register of Historic Places”.
On April 5th, 1992 the first wedding and reception at the 1000 Broadway Building took place on the 6th floor of the building. John and Debra Berkowitz were the happy couple of this lofty occasion. In the year 2000 the idea for Club 1000 was born from the wonderful memories of their wedding. Their friends and relatives accolades helped give birth to the idea of holding weddings and receptions for the citizens of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.
