The Aines Farm Dairy Building at 3110-30 Gillham Road, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri is locally significant under National Register Criterion C for the area of ARCHITECTURE and Criterion A for the area of INDUSTRY. The building illustrates mid-twentieth century trends in the dairy industry occurring both locally and nationally. It also presents a unique industrial expression of Streamlined Moderne architecture in Kansas City. Beginning in 1912, the Aines Farm Dairy was a leading producer and distributor of milk and milk products in Kansas City. The company built its first plant on a lo t just north of the nominated building in 1916. Thirty years later, a desire to modernize the facility coupled with public demand for their products led the Aines Farm Dairy to build the extant dairy plant. The Aines Farm Dairy Building served its historic function through the late twentieth century, although the company itself had been subsumed into a large, national dairy conglomerate. The design of the building by architect Jesse F Lauck features a functional, open floor plan and limited office and public spaces. All are executed with a variety of modern, sanitary materials, such as glazed tile and glass block. The exterior architecture incorporates horizontal stream lined massing, bands of glass block windows, and buff- brick walls that clearly communicate elements of the Streamlined Moderne architecture that was popular in the 1940s. The period of significance for the Aines Farm Dairy Building begins with its construction in 1946 and continues through 1958, the fifty-year closing date for periods of significance where activities begun historically continue to have importance but no more -specific date can be defined. - NRHP, 15 June 2008
