The William Bent House is located at 1032 West 55th Street in Kansas City,
Missouri. William Bent, who built Bent's Fort in Colorado in partnership with his brother
Charles and Ceran St. Verain, stayed here on
occasion. Bent bought the land in 1858 but the small house was already
standing, having been built and occupied for 18 years by the Matney family.
