{{Main|Epperson House}}
Epperson House is located south of 52nd St. between Oak and Cherry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://info.umkc.edu/perspectives/features/house-on-the-hill/ |title=House on the hill | |publisher=Info.umkc.edu |access-date=August 27, 2015}}</ref> The [[Tudor Revival architecture|Tudor]]-[[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] structure was completed in 1923 at a cost of $450,000. Originally built as a private residence, Epperson House contained 48 rooms, six bathrooms, elevators, a swimming pool, and a billiard room, spread through four floors. The residence was built by Uriah S. Epperson, who was a banker, industrialist, and philanthropist who amassed significant wealth from insurance and meat-packing industries. The building was donated to the university in 1942 for use as a men's dormitory until 1956. Epperson is well known for its apparent hauntings, which earned it a spot on [[Unsolved Mysteries]] as one of the top five haunted houses in the United States. The house now sits vacant and unused, awaiting incite from the chancellor on what it will be used for next.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.umkc.edu/virtualtour/epperson.asp|title=Epperson House|date=May 24, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060524125004/http://www.umkc.edu/virtualtour/epperson.asp |archive-date=May 24, 2006 }}</ref><ref>[http://media.www.unews.com/media/storage/paper274/news/2004/10/25/News/Epperson.House.Shrouded.In.Haunted.History-780629.shtml Epperson House shrouded in haunted history
