About the Owner

A passion for art and historic preservation in the urban core 
of Kansas City might not seem an obvious off shoot of growing up 
on a dairy farm in rural Missouri, but for Robert Frazier, 
the very bucolic simplicity of those rural surroundings fueled 
his natural curiosity and imagination. This led him to the 
Liberal Arts College, William Jewell University he graduated
 and was initially exposed to the arts and music 
that began to enhance his life. 

He has creatively segued his interest in rehabbing historic 
commercial properties and owning the Robert Frazier with his 
primary passion in the wealth management of entrepreneurs. 
As he continues to spend ninety - five percent of his time in 
money management and financial services for those clients, 
he has capitalized on his ability to recognize and bring on board,
 the most capable and talented people to spearhead his art gallery 
and the development of historic properties. Setting the tone
 for the blending of his vocation a avocation. 
Mr. Frazier offices in a creatively rehabbed former light industrial building in the east end of the Crossroads Arts District, 
yards away from the burgeoning and bustling revitalized
 downtown Kansas City. 
In addition to owning and rehabbing properties downtown,
 he and his partners have recently amassed two blocks of properties
 in and around historic Troost Avenue in midtown Kansas City. 
During an era when people walked or took the streetcar,
 tree- lined Troost was a center for retail services to a gentrified neighborhood and later home to legendary jazz clubs. 
As tastes, habits and modes of transportation changed,
 the nature of the cities and neighborhoods across the country, 
Troost was no exception. 
Though to those who loved it and had a vision, it was obvious 
the heart and soul of earlier years, though temporarily buried 
under the detritus of years of neglect, was waiting to once again 
to be brought to life.
The first phase of this development was the restoration 
of the original Woolworth's Dime Store into the elegant and charming Robert Frazier Gallery of Contemporary Art.
