Text of plaque:
The Savoy Hotel was constructed between 1890 and 1906 during a building boom which created some of the most architecturally significant buildings in the central business district. The first major hotel enroute from the old Union depot, it served as lodging for important political and stage personalities. It is of late nienteeth and early twentieth century design,with neoclassic and art nouveau features. The hotel lobby ispreserved intactwith the leaded stained glass dome 12 feet in diameter. The original Savoy Grill Room, with its stained glass, dark-oak woodwork, and historic murals by Edward Holslag, is the oldest restaurant in Kansas City and provides an authntic example of the dinig style of our forebearers.
The plaque is stamped with the seal of the Native Sons of Missouri.
