J. Philip Kirk, Jr.

J. Philip Kirk, Jr., former chairman of DST Realty, is the man behind the concept of creating the First National Bank building into a first-class downtown library. It’s been said he approached Jonathan Kemper with the idea as well as a well-laid out plan for raising funds. In December 2002, the Downtown Council recognized Kirk for his vision and stewardship of downtown and established an annual award in his honor. The Kirk Family Foundation has supported many projects besides redevelopment of downtown, especially the West end and the library, including the Folly Theater, YMCA, Boy Scouts, and Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge.
