Headquarters

The company headquarters is located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri in the historic Boley Building.

The building is one of the world's first metal-and-glass curtain-wall buildings and the first to use rolled-steel columns.^[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
