Emery, Bird, Thayer & Company was a department store in Downtown Kansas City that traced its history nearly to the city's origins as Westport Landing

The store assumed its final name in the 1890s from the investors W.E. Emery, Joseph Taylor Bird Sr. and William B. Thayer and opened a new building occupying a full block along East 11th Street from Walnut to Grand, designed by the architectural firm of Van Brunt & Howe. It soon became the prime attraction on the city's main retail thoroughfare, popularly known as "Petticoat Lane," and became famed for its Tea Room.

The store, known as EBT, closed in 1968, and its building, which was on the National Register of Historic Places, was torn down in 1971
