This report, as Part II, is a supplemental document - which upda tes, amends and expands Part 1. Thi s report covers the one thi rd of the inventories left undone from Part I and and the third phase of the project eva 1 uati on of the survey. Copies of SELGEM worksheets and corresponding inventory and evaluation forms accompany this report as an integral part of it. Some changes and additions have been made in the list of surveyed properties. Senator James H. Moore1s Prairie Renaissance home at 140 W. Prescott (549 S. 8th) has been added. The mill complex encompassing the Robinson-Shellabarger flour mills and elevators has been split into two separate entities. Shellabarger Mill has the 511 N. Santa Fe address. Robinson Mill has been assigned 500 N. Ninth. On the recommendation of Richard Cawthon, Kansas State Historical Society architectural historian, three residences were added: 12 Crestview, 405 East Park Lane, and 309 South Third. Due to a confus i on of addresses, the old Kansas Power and Light power plant, 409 N. Third, was left off the earlier list and has been included herein. 100-102 East Iron has been consolidated with 101 South Santa Fe as it is all one building. Extensive research was conducted in the Salina Public library. Kansas Room files were searched for information on significant buildings, personalities and businesses. The many hours spent reading newspaper microfilm to d.is- cover building permits, dates of construction, architects and builders ",ere fruitful. I was fortunate to find many of the later building permits in the files of the Building Inspection Department. Addresses and con- struction dates were taken from cards in the storage area of the City-County Building. The library basement was searched fer additional permits without success. Blue-line copies of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were studied to help date buildings in the Central Business District. Even with extensive research, most structures cannot be precisely dated. Others cannot even be estimated, usually due to extensive layers of remodel- ing. There are many ways to estimate a building date through sharp obser- vation of style detail, form, and building materials. Alterations and addition dates can also be closely determined by considering these same elements while looking for breaks with form. Some estimates of dates will be incorrect, but reconnaissance estimates should not generally be more than five years off either direction of the estimated (circa or c.) date. For instance, if an estimate of 1930 (c. 1930) was made, the actual construction I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5 date should fall within the range of 1925 to 1935. A reliability check determined that if a date is off, the resource will usually turn out to be older than originally suspected. The central business district buildings presented a special problem: multiple dates are used to determine age of whole structures including, 1) the original portion of the building; 2) facades; and, 3) major additions (i.e., a building built in 1877 that had a new facade and expanded on one whole side at a later date would appear to read: c. 1877/1932/1966. While a great deal of work has been put into these reports, neither Part I or II is complete. Every day brings new material to light. This survey, because of the nature of the historic resources, will never be completely finished, but will be a dynamic, ongoing process as different people apply their varied skills to the continuing research on these structures.

The FY84 study is authori zed by the City of Salina by Resolution No. 83-3632 and Commission Action taken on 23 July 1984, and was completed in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the City and the State Historic Preservation Officer at the Kansas State Historical Society. The purpose of the survey is to work within the city.s framework ". . . to establish historic preservation (in Salina) as a vital part of the Planning process and not just as a set of written goals" (refer to Kansas State Historical Society letter from Nora Pat Small, 25 March 1983) and to iden- tify and substanti ate 1 oca lly s i gnifi cant resources. Thi s Urban Study Unit survey is part of the statewide comprehensive plan called The Kansas Preservation Plan (see Part I, Appendix D). This evolved out of a federal program called liThe Resource Protection Planning Process - RP3." Guidelines for the study were provided by the Salina Conservation Plan of 1983 (see Historic Resources Survey, Part I, Appendix B), Kansas Historic Preservation Department, and the National Park Service, U.S. Dept. of the Interior. The scope of the survey and the requirements for the plan are detailed in the Urban Study Unit Outline (see Part I, "Survey Overview" section) and the Kansas Preservation Plan. The project was funded by a federal historic preservation grant pursuant to the Congressional National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Funds are distributed and administered by the Kansas State Historical Society, Historic Preservation Department with thirty percent matching funds and services from the City of Salina for the Salina Heritage Commission. Because these buildings now set in rundown nei ghborhoods, and covered "Ii th decades of grime, people do not distinguish between essential structure and the acci dents of mi suse and decay. As a result of this one-sided historic appreciation, our whole country is in danger of losing a precious part of its past -- the work of two generations. --Lewis Mumford I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 7 UPDATE FROM PART I This is the update on remaininq survey work to be completed in Budget Period FY84 (from Part I, page 61) - 1. Complete the inventory forms and photographing process on approximately one third of the remaining resources as indicated on the resource list. Inventory forms and photographs were completed on the remaining one-third of the resources indicated on the resource list. 2. Complete the Evaluation forms on resources so indicated on the resource list. Evaluation forms on resources so indicated on the resource list have been completed. 3. Research and record original ownership onto all inventory forms. Extens i ve in-depth research to determi ne the ori gi na 1 owners of evaluated properties was conducted. Because of time limitations, original owners were not researched for properties not evaluated. 4. Continue to research historical significance of original owner or subsequent owners via genealogical or biographic sources. Extensive in-depth research into the original owners of evaluated properties was conducted. Because of time limitations, original owners were not researched for properties not evaluated. 5. Continue the comprehensive effort to more accurately identify downtown commercial resources, construction dates, facade dates, and history by researching building permits, photographs, maps, and archives for a two-block area consisting of the 100 blocks of North and South Santa Fe Avenue. With a few exceptions, buildings in the Central Business District have been dated. Because of periodic renovations, building facades are frequently not the same age as the rest of the build- ing. The facade date is used since it is that part of the build- ing most visible to the public. When the upper and lower facades are of two different dates an attempt has been made to note both dates. Further research into the Sanborn maps is needed to date additions. 6. Record on the Inventory form at bottom of first page the current zoning with a date notation of all evaluated resourced (i.e., R-3 as of 7/84). Current zoni ng des i gnati ons have been noted on inventory forms. 8 7. If time allows, identify as many as possible of those Charles Shaver-designed structures that remain in Salina. Charles W. Shaver designed many structures in Salina. The in- ventory and evaluation forms document which resources in this survey are his designs. A copy of his job log is in the Shaver file, which is part of this survey's research materials. Not all the listings on that log have been identified by current addres- ses. 8. Explore any local legends or leads (see "Salina Architectural Legends" list in this section). Limited research was conducted on Sa 1 i na I s architectural 1 egends without success. No evidence has been found of Wells Fargo or any other express company being located at 1002 Park. Glen Martin's home prior to 1904 was at 138 South Tenth. 9. Contact all significant churches for more detailed histories of their significant resources, if appropriate. Library files on the churches have been searched for pertinent information which has been recorded on the appropriate form. 10. If time permits, conduct interior site inspections for those signifi- cant resources that are open to the public. Accept invitations for interior site inspections of private residences. Several public and private buildings have been toured and photo- graphed. This is one area needing continuing research. 11. If time and funds permit, shoot, compile, and write script for a 35mm slide show highlighting unusual, misunderstood and representative resources for educational purposes. A slide show and script have been compiled highlighting signifi- cant structures and has been presented to 1 oca 1 ci vi c groups. Direct positive blue print copies of the available Sanborn maps have been acquired from the University of Kansas Spencer Library's Kansas collection to aid in the dating of existing structures. The Heritage Conservation section of the City of Salina Comprehensive Plan has been updated to reflect current research and progress made in Heritage Conservation Landmark designations. Three buildings, 683 South Santa Fe; Missouri Pacific depot, 352 North Santa Fe; and 630 East Iron, have been zoned as Heritage Conservation (HC) Land- marks.

Iron Avenue Street Bridge at 4th Street The concrete double span across the Smoky Hill River on east Iron Avenue at Fourth Street was built in 1915 from a design by C. G. Wilmarth and 1. L. Zerbe, Sal ina architects and engineers. Concrete Construction Company of Kansas City, MO was in charge of the building. Because of structural damage bui 1 di ng up over the years from constant use and wi nter sa It-sand, thi s bridge is currently being replaced with a similar-looking bridge. Plans are to restore the planters and light poles to the original design as nearly as is possible with modern materials. Indian Rock Park Salina Brick Plant was located on this site. The land was purchased by the City in 1954 for park development. It is the least developed of Salina's parks, having been left to nature in many areas. The Indian Rock monument WdS presented to the City, February 10, 1923. Bill Burke Sports complex is in South Indian Rock Park on the river floodplain. Kenwood Park A special bond election in 1917 approved the purchase of 80 acres of ground for Kenwood Park. In May, 1931, the County Commission awarded the contract for buildings to A. W. Daleen. C. W. Shaver was the architect. Kenwood Park is the site of the annual Tri-Rivers Fair and Rodeo in August. In the 1930's Salina Millers and in 1950's Salina Bluejays minor 'league baseball teams played in Tri-Rivers Stadium. Agricultural Hall is the only known remaining building to have been built by Shaver/Daleen. The 4-H building was designed in 1956-1957 by Wilson and Company. The Bicentennial Center was built in 1977 by G. E. Johnson of Colorado Springs, Co from a design by Bucher and Willis, Salina. The 4-H picnic area may have been a National Youth Administration project. The Municipal Swimming Pool is another of the major buildings in the park. Kenwood Hall is a modern, metal utilitarian building behind the 4-H hall. Numerous livestock barns are scattered beside and behind Agricultural Hall. King Gymnasium-KWU This is the oldest existing building for higher education in Salina. Construction began on King Gym in late 1914, was completed in 1915 and dedicated in 1916. The Class of 1915 donated the illuminated clock tower. King Gymnasium was considered one of the finest athletic facilities in Kansas during its early years. It is in need of major repairs to stabilize the deterioration.

Mel and Mary Jarvis bought the old sand pit and built a large ranch style home about 1960 on the westtrn shore. In 1966, Mary Jarvis sold it to the City for a park for $140,000. The level of the lake has diminished from that time until only about half of the lake bed has water in it. When the old channel of the Smoky Hill River ran full, the lake was larger. Martin Stadium-KWU Glenn Martin, Salina aviation pioneer, is remembered in this athletic stadium built in 1940 as a National Youth Administration project for Kansas Wesleyan University. Marymount College-Administration Building The Sisters of St. Joseph built Marymount College and Academy in 1922 as a boarding school for girls. C. A. Smith, Salina, was the architect. At its opening in 1922, it \'/as the only boarding school for girls in the diocese of Concordia and the only Catholic College for women in the State. In 1968, Marymount went coeducational and is currently an accredited four-year liberal arts college. Millstone and Founders' Park The newest of Salina's parks was dedicated July 4, 1976 as a Bicentennial project commemorating the founding of Salina at this site and the importance of the gra i n mi 11 i ng indus try to the growth of Sa 1 i na. The mi 11 stone is believed to be the stone from Col. Phillips' grist mill at this location. Oakdale Park John and Rosine Geis sold this park to Saline County in 1880. The com- memorative entrance was designed by George E. Stuart, Salina, and Hugh A. Price, Chicago, Illinois and added in 1917. In 1933, the gateway was widen- ed. The original gates are now on the driveway of the "Prescott House" at 211 West Prescott. The bathhouse was added in 1925. The footbridge dates from 1883. Pioneer Hall-KWU The administration building for Kansas Wesleyan University was built in 1922-1928 to house offices, classrooms, chapel-auditorium, and student center. It was designed by C. G. Wilmarth and I. L. Zerbe. Sunset Park Sunset Park was designed by Salina landscape architect Ralph Ricklefs, Sr. and developed in 1936 using WPA or NYA labor. Thomas Park Ralph Ricklefs also designed Thomas Park. It was originally developed in 1936-1937 as a National Youth Administration project. The western part of the park contains a Girl Scout Kiva and the most recent far western addition contains nursery stock for the Salina Park Department. ~'~, ~;':/,.':: .~ '~~':";:-'~_~ ~T'-:r-~"'" .~" ~ ~~_ r ;J _ -.:' ~~JC~"~-:",,',' .",', .~-, ,~- .-' \ .,,'-.

A similar configuration shows up on the 1911 Sanborn map and with additions on the 1917 map. There has been a power plant of some type here since 1887. Improvements were made in 1915. The building is currently vacant. Due to a confusion of addresses, the old KP&L power plant was left off the list in Part I and has been included here. 218 South Third This house was originally the res'idence of Peter and Mary Mugler, owners of the Salina Brewery. This Victorian Italianate residence may have been built of native "mud brick" or sand brick as evidenced by their color and texture. Although this building is currently used for apartments, the interior is fairly well intact. Woodwork may be cypress wood. The stairway may be cherry~ Because 1 ;me mortar \'Ias used in its construction and is deteriorating rapidly, this house may need extensive rehabilita- tion soon. 309 South Third Johan A. Anderson is presumed to have built this workingman's house about 1904. He brought the land in January of that year and the address is listed for the first time in a 1904 city directory. He was a clerk. Newer houses have filled in around it. This structure was added to the Part II survey by the State architectural historian. 213 North Fi fth This resource, the Roy M. Heath garage, is no longer standing. it in July 1984 to make way for a proposed office building. prepared. The owner demolished No eva 1 uati 011 form was 217 North Fifth Listed as a veterinarians' clinic on the 1917 Sanborn Map and by 1926 auto repair was being conducted here. It also was demolished July 1984. No evaluation form was prepared. 500 North Fifth The old Wyatt Foundry was built in 1909 for the F. Wyatt Manufacturing Co., home of the Jayhawk haystacker. The building closely resembles two others which were built by C. D. Crawford, the Watson grocery warehouse at 419 North Santa Fe and the Lee Mer- cantile building at 254 North Santa Fe, but there is no documentation to support Crav/ford having bui lt it. The entry has been altered and facade windows have been replaced with glass block. It is a good example of Salina's industrial heritage. 300 South Fifth The home of Charles G. Wilmarth, local architect, was built circa 1905. It was first listed in a city directory of 1905-06. Wilmarth practiced the building trade here from 1871-1920, His partners include Alex Schultz, W. T. Gilbert and, most notably, Isaac L. Zerbe. The house is a post-Victorian Colonial Revival cottage. 257 South Fifth Benjamin F. Brown, manager of Salina Vitrified Brick Co. probably built this house circa 1902, as per mortgage record. He lived here 1904-1920. Carol O. Lindner family owned it 1920-1962. This late Victorian house has elements of Queen Anne styling and is built of native brick judging from the yellow-pink color. 1~~"~~1=~7-~~~~~~ 401 South Fifth 445 South Fifth 108 North Seventh 109/111 North Seventh . ~~ ::...~.. 346 North Seventh 101-103 South Seventh 119 South Seventh I I , I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 23 401 South Fifth Since 1883, this has been the site of the municipal water works. In 1935, Charles W. Shaver designed the remodeling of the water plant to its current configuration. How much, if any, of the original structure remains is unknown. Limestone ashlar frames the entry and defines the corners of the facade. Art deco zig-zag and cross brickwork adorn the cornice. 445 South Fifth This Dutch Colonial Revival was built about 1907 for Ella F. MacQueen. The variety of cut shingle work adds interest to this otherwise fairly common example. 108 North Seventh The Cozy Inn was one of the earl iest prototypes of the "fast food II concept. A "Cozie" is a rare blend of hamburger with ground-up onions garnished with pickle slices and set off with mustard andlor ketchup. Founded in 1922 by Bob Kinkel, the same style burgers have been cooked to perfection and shipped in dry ice around the world. Architecturally, the Cozy Inn is very plain on the exterior, buff brick with a single door and window. The original 1922 interior is intact. 109/111 North Seventh Few of the original business blocks remain in the central business district. Since 1887, the Wight block has housed many businesses. A produce company, transfer com- pany, a bowling alley, Salina Plumbing Co. and Powers and Hendricks wholesale paint, glass and wallpaper, all made their homes here. For over 60 years, the upper floors housed hotels. The WPA and the I RS had offi ces' here. The ori gi na 1 facade is pi ctured in Atherton's "Glimpses of Salina" c. 1905. Only the street level facade has been altered. It is assumed that Frank L. Wight, a carpenter-contractor, built his own building. ' 346 North Seventh The Lee-Warren Milling Company was originally built in 1899 with major additions in 1906 and 1914. A 1927 fire destroyed one four-story elevator which was rebuilt. This mi 11 was one of the top flour producers in Sa 1 i na. J. J. Van i er, another mi 11 i ng magnate, owned this mill about 1948. 101-113 South Seventh The United Building was constructed in 1929 by Busboom and Rauh from a design by Charles W. Shaver. It was home office to C. L. Brown's United Life Insurance Co. from 1929 until 1942. Franklin Life Insurance made its home office here 1942-1946. This Art Deco 10-story office building is the tallest structure in Salina, excluding grain elevators. There is extensive use of terra cotta as a "crown" for the roofline. Polychrome medallions form a decorative band above the street level windows. The yellow brick building features 3/3 steel framed windows in groups of two. Italian marble frames the street level display windows. Currently, the United Building is a condominium office complex. 119 South Seventh The Great Plains Building was originally home of Farmers Union Insurance Co. 1921- 1956. It also housed the Salina Daily Union newspaper and the Salina Sun newspaper. Mason D. Sampson had an office here from 1929-1933. It was home office for the Great Plains Insurance Co., 1956-1966. The Sal ina Board of Trade and many grain dealers made this their headquarters from 1923-1931. Charles W. Shaver designed this Beaux Arts structure, which was built by Peterson Construction in 1922. The current (1985) downtown revitalization plan calls for the demolition of this and adjacent buildings for a parking lot to serve downtown merchants.

Shaver also designed this Colonial Revival building. Built in 1922 by Alfred Lindgren, it housed the Salvation Army Citadel until the early 1970's. It too, is proposed for demolition as part of the downtown development project. 200 South Seventh This circa 1890 Victorian Queen Anne house had a Colonial Revival porch added in about 1900. There is no record of who built this house for William and Isabelle Flanders. About 1914, Henry D. Lee bought the place and considered it his home even after he sold it to his nephew, Charles Lee, in 1916. Charles' wife, Grace Moses Lee, was one of the founders of the Salina Y.W.C.A. 326-330 South Seventh From Regi ster of Deeds records, it appears thi s house was bui 1 t for Anna Anson and husband in 1879. This is the only known concrete block Victorian Italianate in Salina. In its long history, only 4 families have owned it. Porches have been added to the south and west and the front porch does not appear to be part of the original building. 122 North Eighth The First Methodist Church is one of two Salina churches built with a circular sanc- tuary in the Classical style. W. T. Schmidt, Oklahoma City architect designed this building in 1916. Shaver Partnership designed the education wing in 1955. . The original structure was built by C. N. Sinclair. At its construction, this was one of the 3 largest Methodist Churches in Kansas. An Ionic colonade supports the pedimen- ted entry gable. The domed roof is tile. The twin towers to the rear are copper- capped. This church boast 6 art glass and many stained glass windows. 128 South Eighth (Please note address change at Church Board's request from 138 S. 8th in Part 1.) When constructed, Christ Episcopal Cathedral was said to be one of the finest in Kansas and contained the only set of chimes in the state. Mrs. Herman Griswold Batterson, New York City, donated the money to construct the building as a memorial to her husband who had been a bishop for this Episcopal diocese. Christ Cathedral is part of a three-building complex, the other two being the parish house and the edu- cation building. Charles M. Burnes and Henry A. Macomb, Philadelphia, created the design for this Norman Gothic Cathedral in 1906. Cuthbert and Sargent Construction, Topeka, was in charge of construction. 150 South Eighth This Victorian Italianate home was probably built for James W. Rice about'1881-1885. It was the residence of John B. Shellabarger of Shellabarger Mills, 1885-1898. W. O. Lyter, Vice President of ,Shellabarger Mills, made this his nome from 1899 until 1934. The property was deeded to Christ Cathedral Parish in 1943 and currently serves as a halfway house for chemically-dependent adolescent boys. Eastlake details adorn both interior and exterior woodwork. The truncated hip roof sports a metal crest. 201 South Eighth The First Christian Church was designed by Charles W. Shaver in 1924. John Ferm supervised the construction 1924-1927. When built, the interior of this modified Gothic Church was said to be one of the finest in Kansas. Rev. David H. Shields waged his political campaign from here in 1904 in his bid for mayor. He was the only minister elected mayor in Salina's history. 204 South Eighth 402 South Eighth 448 Soath Eighth 308 South Eighth "~~ . - . '.~.'.';". ::0" /,..'.

He was a partner of H. D. Lee in foundi ng the Lee Hardware Company. From 1919 to 1968, the house was home to the Commerford family, a pioneer family who homesteaded near Salina in 1870. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sinsabaugh bought the house from the estate in 1972 and have been slowly restoring it. The style of house is modified American Foursquare with Colonial Revival details. A cut limestone porch curves around two sides. No record was found of the designer or builder. 308 South Eighth The First Presbyterian Church was designed in 1922 by Charles W. Shaver and is a modified Gothic Church. Eberhardt Construction was in charge of building the edifice. First Presbyterian is the oldest congregation in Salina. 402 South Eighth This modified Victorian Queen Anne residence was built in 1901 by C. G. Wilmarth, architect for Lee A. Will. Will was a prominent merchant selling, among other things, books, cameras and jewelry. His widow, Etta, lived here until 1952. Once converted into 5 apartments, the house has been restored to single family residency. 414 South Eighth This modest Victorian Italianate residence was built about 1883 for T. D. Fitzpatrick. The wrap around porch was added about 1910. Originally there were two porches. The interior has been significantly modified. Fitzpatrick is credited as one of the prime forces behind the organization of Salina High School. He organized the Fitzpatrick Mortgage and Loan Co. in 1885, served at one time as superintendent of schools, led the Chamber of Commerce, was President of Salina Storage and Transfer in 1907-08 and was postmaster, 1898-1911. 448 South Eighth This Neo-Colonial residence was probably built for Isadora J. Peters and her husband about 1898. It was the home of A. F. Berg, undertaker, between 1910 and 1919. The hip roof has flared eaves and cresting. A dormer projects over an arched oriel window on the north. The front porch is two-tiered. The foundation and porch pillars are cut limestone. 451 South Eighth Dr. Howard N. Moses built this side-gabled shingle bungalow about 1~04. The founda- tion is molded concrete block. Moses was a Salina physician for almost a half century. He came to Salina in 1900 from the faculty of the KU Medical School in Kansas City. He was instrumental in founding the first hospital in Salina on South 9th in 1905. He helped found Asbury Hospital in 1921 and was Medical Director of its laboratory, which he equipped, until 1947. He was one of the organizers of the local Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club and the first Boy Scout Troop. He was active in Masonic orders, medical societies and the Sons of the American Revolution. His wife, Harriet, was a biology teacher at Kansas Wesleyan University and founded Gamma Delta Gamma sorority there. An AAUW scholarship was named in her honor. ~ ~,........ .~ ~- 137 North Ninth 103 North Ninth '?' r:J.

There is no easily obtained biographical data on Dr. Anderson, other than his medical specialty was diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. 103 North Ninth Sacred Heart Convent is the third of three buildings on the block located at North Ninth and West Iron. The parochial grade and high schools were built further west adjacent to the convent which was erected in 1918 by the Ladies' Guild of the parish. Anton Jacobs of Hays, Kansas was the contractor. The convent is an unusual combina- tion of Classic and English Revival styles. The symmetry of the mass of the structure and the entry denote Classic styling. The bay windows on the sides are trimmed, with ashlar limestone reminiscent of English Revival towers. The raised lawn is defined by slabs of white marble. 118 North Ninth (This address is for the rectoryloffice attached to the rear of Sacred Heart Cathe- dral. The plat map address for the cathedral itself is 308 West Iron.) When the diocesan seat was moved from Concordia to Salina in 1945, the parish decided it needed a new Church worthy of the honor. This very modern structure, built in 1952-53, reflects the importance of wheat production in the lives of the area's people. The classic architecture of ancient Greece and the functional art forms of the Kqnsas grain elevator and silo were combined by Bishop Frank A. Thill. Edward J. Schulte, Cincinnati, Ohio, was architect. Anton Wendling, University of Aachen, Germany designed the stained glass windows. Erhard Stoettner of the T. C. Esser Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, executed the glass work. A processional panel of fi gures carved in Sil verda 1 e stone from the quarri es of southeastern Kansas, repre- senting the membership of the Church and depicting the basic Christian vocation of carrying the Cross with Christ, was modeled in clay by Ernest Bruce Haswell of the University of Cincinnati for the facade. Featured in that design are stylized ~ansas sunflowers and wheat. Haswell's religious figures for both interior and exterior were carved by Winfred Szathowski and his assistant, Harold Elgar, artisan's of Bloomington, Illinois. Junction City travertine stone was used for both the exterior and interior cylindrical walls. The interior marble is a rosy tan which blends with the walls. It is St. Genevieve Sheldorado marble from near St. Louis, Missouri. The approximate total cost of the cathedral, including furnishings was one million do 11 a rs . 137 North Ninth Dr. Balthazar A. Brungardt built this Prairie School house in 1923 to hold his large family. He practiced medicine in Salina from 1915 until his death in 1962. As a young physician, he brought St. John's Hospital ~o medical standardization at the request of Bishop John Cunningham. Later he directed the foundation of St. John's School of Nursing. The low pitched roof has green tile and wide eaves. A porte cochere extends south of the front porch. Windows and doors are paired. A garage is attached to the rear of the structure and has a room above it. Cathol ic Charities occupies the home now. 245 North Ninth ------------ 349 North Ninth 510 North Ninth 339 North Ninth '. 500 North Ninth I :. _~...

When county governt moved across the street, the court house was renovated for use as a senior citizens I activity center. . Pedimented porticos supported by Corinthian columns adorn each facade. Squared columns in low relief separate the windows. The exterior is unchanged, except for a glass and metal vestibule added to the rear as a weather lock. 339 North Ninth Isaac L. Zerbe designed St. John's (Negro) Baptist Church in 1925 as a Colonial Revival structure. A great many of the leaders of the local black community have come from the congregation of this church. 349 North Ninth Shell Petroleum Corporation built this English Revival cottage about 1935 as a gaso- 1 ine station. 500 North Ninth Robinson Milling Co. was built in stages from 1918 to 1954. The headhouse, bins and hopper scale were constructed in 1918. Concrete tanks were added in 1924, 1929, and 1954. Flour milling was done until 1953. The facility is now used as a terminal elevator. In 1919, the new mill was the most elaborate in the southwest. Its six floors were a model of the new daylight construction plan. No'rdyke and Marmon machinery was used. A modern flour laboratory was incorporated in the design. In Part I this structure was included in 511 N. Santa Fe. New material defined the separation of the two entities. 510 North Ninth This old railroad lunchroom and hotel, commonly known as the Miller house, was pro- bably built about 1887. The Miller family owned this lot from 1887-1909. The four adjacent lots were bought in the mid-1920's. Between 1892 and 1899, an addition brought it to its current size. In 1909, Karl Benz bought lot 17 on which the hotel stands and used the lower level for a meat market and grocery. His family carried on the business until about 1964. The building has had a decided list for at least the past 20 years. Currently it is u~ed as an antique store. 122 South Ninth This frame Victorian Italianate residence was built about 1872 for Alexander M. Campbe 11, Sr., one of the fi ve founders of Sa 1 i na. He was treasurer for the town company. Campbell became the town I s storekeeper and engaged in mercantil e bus i ness until his retirement. He was married in 1858 to Christine Phillips, sister of Col. Williams A. Phillips. Their marriage was the first between the new town residents. He was appointed postmaster by President Lincoln in 1861 and held the office for 27 years. He served in the Union Army attaining the rank of Sergeant. The house re- mained in family hands until 1956. The structural system of thi shouse is reported as rei nforced at the time of con- struction with sand and crushed stone. These materials were placed 14"-16" thick in the basement and porti ons of the main floor walls to help withstand Kansas wi nds. 231 South Ninth South Ninth 802 South Ninth 916 South Ninth 128 South Tenth ,- .~,~.. .i~. .~~;' I,~. r ....,.. , .......~~ 300 - _.'--~~._~7.=_~ 845 South Ninth 120 South Tenth 139 South Tenth I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I 28 231 South Ninth Built in 1910 by the United Brethren Church in Christ, this Gothic Revival Church is being used as the Faith Temple Church of God in Christ. The top part of the original bell tower, is missing, having been damaged and not rebuilt. An education wing has been added to rear. Arched windows with tracery are on the 3 sides visible from the street. 300 South Ninth This modified English Revival elementary school was designed in 1925 by architect Charles W. Shaver to honor pioneer Salina teacher, Jennie V. Bartlett. 440 South Ninth One of only three known buildings to be built of native, low fired brick, this house may have been built as early as 1873. Leroy O. Wight owned the land ~t this location at that time. Wight was county surveyor 1879-1880 and dealt in real estate in 1885. 501 South Ninth This is the only known one-story Prairie School design residence in Salina. The house was built about 1923 for Charles P. Hinnenkamp. 802 South Ninth This side-gabled bungalow was presumably built by O. and 1915. It remained in the family until 1971. juvenile courts. H. and Florena Ford between 1913 Ford was judge of probate and 845 South Ninth Alfred Lindgren, contractor, built this Dutch Colonial Revival house in 1927 for Richard L. Baker, auditor for Robinson Milling Co. It was the home of G. K. Eyler, local dentist, between 1941-~980. 916 South Ninth Alfred Lindgren built this Colonial Revival house for himself in 1928 and lived there unti 1 about 1942. Carl Ward Hi 1 ton, who owned the house from 1956 to 1972 was a bookkeeper for City Plumbing Co. 120 South Tenth Wi 11 i am McBri de "Mac" Stevenson had thi s Neo-Co 1 oni a 1 house buil tin the summer of 1905. . Stevenson, manager of Stevenson1s Clothing Co., was Dean of Salina's retail community. He was a charter member of Salina Rotary Club, served on the School Board for 8 years' and belonged to several Masonic groups. 128 South Tenth Krueger and Parker had the contract to build W. C. Tuthill's residence in 1884. Tuthill, pioneer merchant, also dealt in livestock and real estate. Much of the Victorian trim has been removed from the exterior and the porch has been altered. This is almost identical to the house at 158 South Tenth. 139 South Tenth This enlarged American Foursquare was built about 1906 for George Bailey, salesman. He traded houses with Elizabeth Low for her house on Gypsum Street before this one was finished. Estella Low, Elizabeth's daughter, gave it to Catherine, Winifred and Mary Carr. 142 South Tenth 158 South Tenth 615 South Eleventh 156 South Tenth 204 South Tenth 509 South Eleventh 251 North Thirteenth 336 North Thirteenth I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II 29 142 South Tenth This Craftsman bungalow is assumed to have been built about 1920 for the Hendricks family. The 1917 Sanborn Map doesn1t show this structure; however, the 1926 Sanborn Map does. 156 South Tenth Samuel M. Wilson is the probable original owner of this Dutch Colonial Revival house built about 1898. 158 South Tenth There is no hard evidence as to original owner or builder of this Victorian Italia- nate house, but William G. Addison is believed to have had the house built. Krueger and 'Parker built an almost identical house at 128 South Tenth in 1884. Addison was one of the pioneer settlers of Salina, coming here in 1870. According to his 15 August 1910 obituary, he was one of the best Rnown and most influential citizens of the community. 204 South Tenth Evan P. Coffey, treasurer of Bulkley Dry Goods Co. is presumed to have built this Federal Revival house. Its most notable residents were Doctors Claude and Rochella Flora, chiropractors from 1937-1971. The current owners enclosed the porch on the north. 208/210 South Tenth J.D.M. Conrad built this Victorian Stick residence for John A. Zehring in 1887 for $3,500. Porches on the front and south sides have been enclosed and altered. 509 South Eleventh Thi s simpl ified Queen Anne cottage is presumed to have been bui lt about 1906 as investment property probably by Mary C. McDaniel. None of the early owners can be documented as living in it. 615 South Eleventh This building was formerly the kindergarten cottage for old South Park School. It was moved onto, this location in the mid-1940's from another location, possibly across the alley from South Park. It is currently owned by the City and used as the research library for the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society. 251 North Thirteenth The first time that a use is listed in a city directory for this address is in 1921 when Flamme's Bakery appears. It appears on the 1926 but not the 1917 Sanborn Map. A vernacular false front, this building has been home to many small businesses and is currently used as a residence. 336 North Thirteenth Gospel Mission was originally built as a cafelhotel for railroad passengers and crew. It has been a hotel of various names since 1921. The lighter brick of the main part of the building was probably locally produced judging by its color. The facade is a darker brown brick.

B. Kirkland, convinced the four railroads serving Salina that there was a need for a Uni on Depot to serve all. F. M. Spencer and Sons, Topeka was the low bi dder on the contract to build Union Depot in 1915. Salina Vitrified Brick Co. supplied 300,000 locally produced brick for the construction. A Union Pacific employee was probably responsible for the design which, with its low pitched tile roof, has a Mission flavor. 3001318 East Ash Western Star Mill began in 1873. It has grown and changed drastically over the years. The dam was the fi rs t major concrete project in the city. Porti ons of the mi 11 dam are still visible from Founder1s Park. Structures visible today mostly date from 1929. 410 West Ash Memorial Hall was built in 1922 to honor Salina area veterans of all wars since and including the Civil War. It was used as a municipal auditorium until 1978 when it was converted to a neighborhood recreation center. Charles W. Shaver designed this Neo-Classical building. Otto Peterson Construction Co. won the contract to build it. 613 West Ash W. F. Musser, early Salina probate judge, is presumed to have built this Dutch Colon- ial Revival residence between 1899 and 1903. 701 West Ash J. B. Goodwin and S. L. Harris built this simplified Queen Anne house for Nathaniel Wilson in 1887. It was the home of Caroline Link (Mrs. Jacob) Fisher, daughter of Catherine Link, the first white woman settler in this area. This is the best example of simplified Queen Anne style in Salina. 702 West Ash John Orme Wilson, attorney, built this house in 1885 in the new Wilson Addition at a cost of about $1800. Dr. William H. Winterbotham, physician and surgeon, lived here from about 1886 until 1917. The detail on the windows and in the gables is a very good example of the Stick style. 725 West Ash Frank Houghton sold Lot 12, University Addition, to Wallace A. Pike for $4,000 in 1907. On the same day he gave T. D. Fitzpatrick a $2,000 mortgage on the lot. It is uncertain whether the house was built by Houghton as an investment or by Pike for his residence. It is believed that Houghton had this Dutch Colonial Revival residence either under construction or completed when he sold it to Pike. 915 West Ash Peter Crawford built his Dutch Colonial Revival residence about 1908. Ervin and Sybil Stratmann purchased the house in 1955 from the Crawford estate. This is one of the best examples of a style common to this period of Salina's history. 117 Baker This Tudor Revival Cottage was native stone in the design. the original owner. built in 1930 and incorporates an interesting use of E.

When the house was torn down in the late 1950's, the carriage house and barn were moved to Channel Road and adapted for res i denti a 1 use. An L-shaped wi ng was added in the' 1970 's. 103 North College J. H. McConchie, travel agent, had this house built in 1908. It remained in the family until 1946. This Neo-Colonial is similar to houses on Eighth and Highland near Prescott. All were probably built by the same person and can be identified by the three stair-step windows in the front gables. 100 South College David A. VanTrine built "Endiron" on the grounds of Salina Normal School after its 1904 fire. The Neo-Colonial house dates from about 1909. J. W. Hahn and family lived here 42 years. Frank Wyatt of Wyatt Mfg. lived here briefly. The house ori- ginally had a tile roof to match the porte cochere and the carriage house in the rear. 216 West Crawford In 1940, Charles W. Shaver designed this English Revival cottage as a precinct voting station which was built by the National Youth Administration. The City sold it in 1975 and it became commercial offices. 427 West Ellsworth John C. Riddell had this residence built in 1937. This is the only known example of Art DecolArt Moderne residential construction in Salina. A Chevron relief pattern is at the roof line over the curved porch canopy. Repeating leaf patterns are set into the north wa 11 . Two pos t 1 es s corner wi ndows are a 1 so set into the north wa 11 . Other windows in this compact, flat roof house are vertical metal casement. Riddell was an Assistant Division Engineer with the State Highway Commission. 211 East Elm Swift and Company built this structure as a hatchery in 1926 for poultry production. Two styles typical of 1920's architecture were employed in the construction of the "Swift Building". They blend easily with the building's utilitarian features that reflect a pre-depression confidence in Sa 1 i na I s agri cu 1 tura 1 commerce . The 1 i near, hard-edge detail, common to the Art Deco styl e, accents the Spani sh Revi va 1 cur- vil i near roofl i ne. A typi ca 1 rei nforced concrete and masonry gri d is fill ed in with vast multipaned windows. Strategically placed Swift logos identify the building from several blocks away. In 1965, it was converted to a warehouse. Its location across the street from the new Post Office may make it ideal for some type of adaptive reuse. 509 East Elm Dunbar school, built in 1921 as an elementary school for black children, was one of the most modern educational facilities in Kansas. It closed in 1956 and was converted in 1958 into offices for St. Francis Boys Hom~, Inc. 222 West Elm Fire Station No. 1 was designed by Shaver and Shaver and was constructed by Busboom and Rauh Contractors, both of Salina. The red and white brick structure was first occupied on 15 October 1950. Its clock, lettering style and strong structural ex- pression are typical of Art Moderne architecture. 205 North Front 124 South Front 680 Highland - 762 Highland 1009 Highland 110 130 South Front .,-~ :>, ,~\',1; 720 Highland . ~~.. --: I I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I 32 205 North Front This vernacular false front structure is believed to be the oldest existing building in Salina. It was built by Luke Parsons and Simeon Garlitz as a carpenter shop in 1860. It was occupied later by the Anderson Brothers Broom Factory. The building was originally located near the northeast corner of the intersection of Iron and Santa Fe, 235 N. 5th and possibly one other unknown location. 110 South Front There is no conclusive evidence of a construction date for this' English Revival cottage. Deeds and mortgages indicate the possibility of the house being built as early as 1919 or as late as 1934. City directories list something at this address as early as 1909. Sanborn maps do not cover this area until 1926. 124 South Front The Carlin brothers, Samuel, Edward and Hugh, built this Victorian Italianate house with barn in 1885 for $3,450. It was home, at one time, to druggist T. W. Carlin. Many Carlin families owned this property through the years. 130 South Front Hugh Carlin, Jr. is presumed to have built this Neo-Colonial house about 1915. For many years, it was the home of Albert and Mary Anne Schwartz of the Lee Hardware Co. Currently, it is used as a half-way house for alcoholic and chemically dependent men. 680 Highland This Prairie style house was designed by C. A. Smith, architect, as his own home in 1917. Smith also designed the administration building at Marymount College. Arno Rinas, engineer, is restoring the home. 720 Highland Oscar Benz had J. Swartz, carpenter, build this Spanish Revival residence in 1930. The tile roof and terra cotta detail give this small house the same air of ,quality workmanship as other much larger examples of the style. 762 Highland J. A. Ryberg had this Craftsman Bungalow built about 1922. He was an early owner of Salina Planing Mill. This house is a good example of a style common in Salina. 820 Hi~hland J. K. . Biles, architect, was the first resident at this address according to a 1911 city directory. He and his wife Jessie bought this lot in June, 1910. This Dutch Colonial Revival is different from most in Salina. ,The roof is much steeper and the front gable smaller. There is also a three-bay tower projecting from the second-story roof. The combination of buff brick and rough-cut shingles is also unusual. 1009 Hi!h 1 and Lowell lementary School was designed by an Oklahoma City architect, W. T. Schmidt, who designed several institutional buildings in Salina. Originally built in 1915, the school had a major addition in the mid 1960's. ....

The construction work was done by day labor under the supervision of an overseer. No information was found to name the architect. The Art Deco building features extensive terra decorations, such as stylized sunflowers and leaf and feather designs. 200 East Iron Built in 1878 as a plow factory for Andrew Muir, this building has been the location for agricultural implement manufacture, the Salina Candy Co. factory and many hardware stores. It currently houses two restaurants, a private club and an office. This is one of the few semi-vitrified brick buildings left in Salina. The limestone founda- tion as well as the upper structure is held together by lime mortar. The entire structure has been silicone-sealed inside and out in an effort to slow deterioration. 405 East Iron The old Leighton Floral building is another Charles W. Shaver design. English Revival in design, the floral show room and workshop are on street level, while W. R. Leigh- ton I s 3 bedroom apartment occupi es the second story. The formal 1 i vi ng room has a tiled fireplace and stuccoed walls in pastel colors. A formal dining room, large kitchen and tiled Dath complete the suite. A large screen enclosed porch to the rear of the second story gives very private access to the out-of-doors. Built in 1928, this structure was converted to offices in 1982. 630 East Iron This residence is Salina1s third Heritage Conservation (HC) Landmark designation. When George Krueger built this Colonial Revival house for Charles L. Schwartz in 1911, it was said to be the first stucco covered house in Kansas. 636 East Iron George Krueger built this Victorian Renais~ance Second Empire house in 1875 for A. J. Schwartz and his bride, Aggie Geis. Ron Richmond, architect, attempted to restore the home. I t has been remode 1 ed on the i nteri or for offi ces. Wh i 1 e the exteri or is fairly intact, none of the original interior remains. This house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 811 East Iron Oakdale elementary school was built in 1930 at an approximate cost of $100,000 to replace the old Oakdale School. C. W. Shaver designed this English Revival building. Johnson Brothers Construction did the work. 1815 East Iron According to City On The Move, D. A. VanTrine used part of William Geis. furniture store to buil d hi s home at 1815 East Iron. It was home to the Grover M. Simpson family for years. 211 West Iron The old Post Office was dedicated 24 September 1938 by Postmaster General James A. Farley. Lorimer Rich designed the Art Deco structure. Stone sculptures on the facade, which represent the pioneer spirit, were designed by earl C. Mose, St. Louis. This building will become the Smoky Hill Museum in 1986. 401 West Iron 410 West Iron 416 West Lincoln 100 Mount Barbara 130 Mount Barbara 209 East Mulberry I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 34 401 West Iron Wilmarth and Zerbe designed this Sullivanesque commercial building in 1917 for Rush V. Smith. It was one of the first buildings in Kansas erected soley as an "undertaker's chapelll. 406 West Iron Sacred Heart Elementary School was the first of three parochial buildings on this block. This Classical Revival school was designed in 1908 by local architects, Wilmarth and Zerbe, to replace an outgrown wooden structure. Porches were enclosed in 1948 to provide additional classroom and office space. 410 West Iron James Mason High School was built in 1916 with money given by a member of the con- gregation. It is the second of three buildings on this block. It is currently used as Sacred Heart Junior High School. Nelson Building and Construction completed the original structure. The ,1955 addition to the rear was designed by R. A. McAuliffe and Bob Batt of Wilson and Company and was built by J. S. Frank Construction. 416 West Lincoln This house is listed in Part I of the Historic Resources Survey as a Victorian brick cottage, the only one known in Salina. While the arched windows on the facade indi- cate a turn-of-the-century date, the first time a house is listed in city directories at this address is 1919. The price of the lot tripled between 1908 and 1911. The house may be of this date. 100 Mount Barbara This Prairie style residence is reputed to have been designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was built from 1915-1918 by D. A. II Bert" Nelson and his wife, Genevieve Schippel Nelson at an approximate cost of $100,000. Kansas City artist, C. W. Noel painted murals on the walls of most rooms. This 20-room house included a central vacuum system, a wooden German clock built into a wall, intercom system, cedar-lined closets, solid oak inlaid woodwork and doors, and the first electrically- run refrigerator in Kansas. Dr. and Mrs. R. R. Sheldon bought the house ,in 1940 and called it home until Mrs. Sheldon's death by fire in it in 1976. Mr. and Mrs. Steven Tyler bought the house after the fire and restored a great deal of it. The current owners refused permission to do an on-sight evaluation so the information for this report has come from newspapers and photographs. 130 Mount Barbara Genevieve K. Nelson sold Lot 10, Mt. Barbara Park to F. C. Bulkley in May 1916. Bulkley built this Colonial Revival home in that year. This residence has been home to many of Salina's leaders. B. K. Smoot, grain dealer and Rush V. Smith, undertaker, are the most notable. 209 East Mulberry This simplified Victorian Gothic home may have originally faced on Fourth St. and appears to have been moved on the lot, according to Sanborn maps. The foundation of molded concrete block does not appear to be the same age as the house. This address is listed for the first time in a 1925 city directory. Sanborn maps do not help in dating this building -'~"'-. 210 West Mulberry 613 Oakdale Drive .................~ , --... -- ~~_.:-~- 450 North Ohio 129 West Prescott I / I 321 West North 316 South Oakdale 1~5 North Phillips ~~~~~~~.;. . .::=-..~--~~ ~~.~:~~~:;:;::_:~~:~~ io;;jii'''"'".....'='"'''''-''''''''~..-....., ~ ,...

Lincoln School was the first concrete framed school in Salina when W. T. Schmidt designed it in 1915. This building is noted for its elaborate bas-relief sculpture. There is a large sculpture of a seated woman instructing children over the entrance. There are 18 bas-relief medallions above second-story windows which depict the children of the age. No two appear to be alike. Elaborate terra cotta and tile work appear above second-story windows of the projecting wings. 321 West North A 1917 building permit authorized Le (sic) Wrack, Kansas City, Missouri to construct a flour mill for Weber, Freeman and Co. A 1945 fire partially destroyed the mill which was rebuilt as a feed mill for Gooch Feeds. Elevators were added to this complex in 1927 and 1931. 613 Oakdale Drive David J. Hanna, one-time Lieutenant Governor of Kansas built this house at 450 South Santa Fe in 1909. In 1919, Hanna sold it to Fred D. Kastner, pioneer plumbing con- tractor. In 1954, the house was moved to this location to save it from demolition. 316 South Oakdale Charles Nelson had this impressive American foursquare red brick house built in 1912. Limestone quoins adorn the corners. Limestone is used for the arched lintels and sills, watermark and foundation. A red brick carriage house sits on the rear of this double lot. A modern addition is attached to the rear of the house. The current owner is a grandson of the builder. 450 North Ohio This bungalow is one of two documented Sears mail-order houses in Salina. (404 South Eleventh is the other and was not included in Part I of the Historic Resources Sur- vey). It was presumed to have been ordered and erected by William H. and Barbara Penix, commercial gardeners, in 1923. The Prater family, also gardeners, bought it in 1946. They use it as the office for Twin Valley Nursery. 145 North Phillips It is one of the 1 as t ne i ghborhood grocery stores in Sa 1 i na. Cha r 1 es W. Shaver designed this yellow brick bungalow for Dr. M. A. Hensley in 1931 to be used as a market. The bu il di ng 'was des i gned with a fi rep 1 ace on either end so it cou 1 d be converted to a duplex should the market fail. Lamer's Market is said to be the only grocery in town to still make home deliveries. 129 West Prescott Henry D." Lee had four houses built about 1904 to house employees and officers of the Lee companies. This Neo-Colonial revival house was owned by Charlotte Lee Staples, whose husband was treasurer of Lee Mercantile. 140 West Prescott . This is a new address added since Part I was written. The style of the house and the . significance of Sen. Moore warranted its addition in Part II. W. B. Shirley is the probable original owner of this Prairie Renaissance house built about 1923. This residence was home to James H. Moore, Jr. and his wife~ Grace, from 1928 until 1982. Moore was a stockman and real estate developer. He was a Kansas State Senator from 1949-1957, Mayor of Sa 1 i na 1945-1946 and past Pres i dent of the Sa 1 i na Chamber of Commerce. 211 West Prescott 715 Spruce 231 West Prescott, .~~ 315 West Walnut Old Stimmel School North Fifth Street at Stimmel Road I I I I I I II ! I I I I I I I I I I I I 36 211 West Prescott Built in 1884 for Judge John H. Prescott, this Victorian Italianate Villa is one of the most impressive buildings in Salina. At the time it was built, it was the most expensive house in town ($10,000). The current owners have restored the house to some of its former grandeur. Wilmarth and Zerbe were the architects, Valin and Johnson the builders. The gates on the driveway are from Oakdale Park and were added after the entrance gateway to the park was widened in 1933. This house is listed on the Nation- al Register of Historic Places. 231 West Prescott Mary Prescott sold this lot to F. E. Barbee in 1921 with restrictions to build a two story house facing Prescott for no less than $9,000. Barbee took out a mortgage in that amount in April, 1925. C. E. Brock, General Manager of Kansas Power and Light, lived here from 1934 until 1958. Part I of the Historic Resources Survey called this style Neo-Colonial, but later evaluation of this structure seems to warrant a change in classification to Italian Renaissance. 715 Spruce From the alley, this building appears to be a wooden Gothic church. Carl F. Meyer owned the lot from 1922 to 1955. This address is first listed in a 1931 city direc- tory. The origin of the building is unknown. Neighborhood rumor is that it was moved in from Camp Webster, but that information is unsubstantiated. 315 West Walnut Built about 1911 for George R. Cowden, the bath in this house was featured in the Salina Plumbing Company's advertising book. This house is another good example of the Dutch Colonial Revival style which was very popular in Salina at the turn of the Century. RESOURCES OUTSIDE 1930 CITY LIMITS Old Stimmel School North Fifth Street at Stimmel Road On August 15, 1872, Robert and Nancy Muir donated an acre of their land in the northwest corner of Section One of Smoky Hill Township to be used as a school site for District #27. Directly across the road from where the school house was built lived the family of Benjamin Stimmel. When telephones came into vogue, the Stimmels were one of the first families in the community to acquire one. It followed then that people wanting to reach someone at the school house would call the Stimmel residence, and before long District #27 became known to its patrons as Stimmel School. The children and grandchildren of Robert Muir and his brothers William, Bryce and Andrew, many of whom lived within the district, were fnstructed by their elders never to refer to the school by THAT name. It was the Muir family who had donated the land and, they felt, it was the Muir name that ought to identify the school. This country school was part of Common School District #27 until it was absorbed by the city during school unification. It was then operated as a neighborhood elementary school for rural north Salina. USD 305 did not have records on its construction. The Register of Deeds file on school records has copies of annual reports dating back to 1898 for this school which are signed by B. B. Stimmel, Director. 100 North Santa Fe , ..... II . .

Because the history of the buildings in this area is so intertwined, the research on this district covers more than just the addresses chosen to be evaluated in Part I. Fires have periodically altered the "look" of Santa Fe. Very few of the buildings pre-date 1900 because of this. Many of the original buildings have had more than one facade renovation in an effort to "keep up with the times" and present a modern face to the public. With a few exceptions, the buildings have been dated for both the original construction and the latest facade renovation. 100 North Santa Fe - The Paris W. W. Watson built this as a bank and office building in 1902. The third floor has been removed. The first floor has been extensively altered. 101 North Santa Fe - First National Bank The bank building once known as Farmers National Bank was built probably in the 1880's. However, that facade was altered by later renovations in 1909, 1925, 1957, and 1959 until a conglomeration of building styles struggle with each other. H. D. Lee is associated with the reorganization of Farmers National Bank. 104 North Santa Fe - Warden's Paul Warden's total renovation of this bUildfng in 1974 masks what had been the Seitz block built by Oscar Seitz in 1871-72. Seitz Eagle Drug Company operated in the southern section of this building until 1946. B. A. Litowich and family ran Salina Mercantile in the northern half from 1871 until 1969. 107 North Santa Fe - Shelton's Albert F. Shute constructed a two story brick closer to the later date. A. W. Daleen was That Art Deco facade is what is seen today. location since 1935. building between 1878 and 1884, probably contracted to add a new facade in 1931. Shelton's Ladies Wear has been at this 108 North Santa Fe - Phil Rose and Sons The Sudendorf building was one of the earliest brick structures in downtown, 1878. The facade was renovated in 1926 to conform to Gebhart hardware to the north and Baier Jewelry to the south. The metal facade was added in 1970. 109 North Santa Fe - Low~s Drugs T. W. Carlin had this two-story brick structure built in 1904 specifically to house his drug store. The painted brick was originally a dark color with dark colored columns flanking the second story windows which are now boarded over. The street level facade may date from 1950. 110 North Santa Fe - Gebhart Hardware P. L. Gebhart bought this hardware store in 1876 shortly after its construction fr?m C. A. Kingman and John D. M. Conrad and has been Gebhart Hardware ever since, now 1n its third generation. The facade dates from 1926, however the rear entrance is original. ~.,.~~' -~--'2. - ~I~' ~i:r - -- '~; .... r:~.

P. Geis' bank at this location are the brick sidewalls which helped stop the Christmas fire of 1871. That building was gutted and replaced in 1940 with a facade of white Silverdale stone and black Minnesota granite. The street level entry was altered again in 1960. Fred Organ, Omaha architect, designed the 1940 facade. 112 North Santa Fe - West, Ltd. Since its construction in 1887, this building has been a clothing store. Jarvis Construction Company did a complete facade renovation in 1955. In 1968, the rear was altered. Native brick is still visible in the south wall, and the foundation is rough-cut limestone. 113-115 North Santa Fe - Consolidated Printing Eo J. Carpenter, Chicago, is the probable original owner of this building built, according to Sanborn maps, in 1899. The metal facade was added in 1956. Photographs of the original facade appear in liAs We Were". 116 North Santa Fe ~ Anderson's Leather (formerly the Trio Shop) William Hogben built his grocery store here about 1888. The second story 'facade has a Richardsonian Romanesque flavor. The latest street level facade renovation was in 1984 to continue the line from Anderson's Leather to the north. 117-119 North Santa Fe - Kline's (Stiefel's) Stiefel Brothers opened their dry goods store in 1904 at 115 North Santa Fe. Charles W. Shaver designed a new 3-story structure in 1922 at this new location. At that time, Stiefel's Department Store was the largest retail establishment between Salina and Denver. A metal facade was attached in 1960 and the street-l eve 1 facade was renovated in 1984. . 118 North Santa'Fe - Anderson's Leather Originally built for Herman Harmes' cigar factory in 1877, this building was renovated in 1944 to house the Goodrich Silvertown store. Anderson's Leather has altered the street-level 'facade. 120 North Santa Fe - Deal's Gifts Thi s bui 1 di ng was probably bui 1t about 1887 for Robert Graf. The front and rear facades were covered with metal and wood siding respectively in 1964. 122 North Santa Fe - Vacant Charles Swisher had this two-story convnercial building which housed the Ninety Nine Cent Store, erected about 1905. Architects Appleby and Marsh designed the 1981 facade change. . 123 North Santa Fe - Vernon1s Jewelers This jewelry store was designed by Charles W. Shaver for B. A. Strickler in 1922. The three owners of this structure have all been jewelers. 124 North Santa Fe - Brass Buckle Magdalene Schwartz built this structure in 1882. It was fire-damaged in 1910 and renovated again in 1978. It is scheduled for removal in order to widen the arcade to Fifth Street parking. .~r 125 N. Santa Fe 135 N. Santa Fe ----- [; " ~ ~- ~,: 1._ .- rtil!a<f:JI ~f ;-::_~ /, ~ - i'\- ~. -- 126 N.

The two owners hired separate architects and builders. Ben Byrne designed the north half and A. W. Daleen was contractor. Fred Hartley was contractor for the south half, but the architect is unknown. The two buildings were to be designed and built as one unit. 126 North Santa Fe - Traylor Travel Traylor Travel was built in '1959 by Busboom and Rauh, and is scheduled for removal in order to enlarge the arcade to Fifth Street parking. 131 North Santa Fe - Vacant (formerly old Montgomery Ward's) Charles W. Sha.ver designed this three-story Art Deco building in 1929 for E. C. Wyatt. Montgomery Ward Department Store was the primary tenant from 1929-1971. It has been vacant since 1971. The street level facade was remodeled in 1964. The building is limestone and marble (or polished granite) with large windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors. 135 North Santa Fe - Western Discount Store This building was originally part of a business block built by C. G. Bulkley and Daniel Wiegner, two thirds of which was damaged or destroyed. in a 1928 fire. Con- tractor Fred Hartley rebuilt the facade which was remodeled in 1953. 141 North Santa Fe - Bergen's Party wall agreements establish 1902 as the construction date of this two-story brick building. Th~ lower facade was redone in 1964 and the upper facade in 1981. 100 South Santa Fe - National Bank of America National Bank of America, built in 1922 from a design by Wight and Wight of Kansas City, Missouri is located at the "prime" intersection, Santa Fe and Iron. The ar- chitectural style is modified Classical Revival with energy efficient window treat- ments added. The entry was redone in 1965. 101-107 South Santa Fe - Wilson Jewelers Campbell, Sloan, and Tuthill operated a dry goods store and U. S. Post Office in this building in 1885. A. M. Campbell was one of Salina's five founders. The original entry was on Iron with arched windows on the Santa Fe side. The cornice has been removed and the upper facade simplified. Plate glass display windows have been cut into street-level walls. This also covers the address of 100-102 E. Iron, as it is all one building. 104-106 South Santa Fe - Vacant This business block was built in 1886 by John Nelson and M. D. Teague. It housed Conrad Hardware in the 1890' s. Lee A. Wi 11 had a jewelry, book, stati onery and optical shop here. Many drug stores have used this building: North Star Svensk Apotek, Low and Linck Drugs. The south ha 1 f was remodeled in 1959 for He 1 zberg Jewelers. NBA has indicated that they plan to remove this building for bank expan- sion. 108 South Santa Fe - Seitz Shoes Seitz Shoe Store, built in 1910, was originally only 45 feet deep. There have been two additions to the rear and at least two remodelings to the interior and facade, 1968 and 1978. ---- :-~ - - --- ~111: 1 fl " rrl!J ' ,- mil 109 S. Santa Fe H . ~;., -, .

The lower facade dates from the 1960's. 110 South Santa Fe - Harold's Clothing (form~rly Traders State Bank) This building was built in 191U to house Traders State Bank, which merged with Kansas State Bank in 1918. In recent years, it has been a clothing store. In 1975, a modern facade was tacked on the lower level and in 1982, the facade was changed again. 111 South Santa Fe - McCoy's This is the first of three brick stores built in the spring of 1878 by Wilmarth and Zerbe south of the Campbell .building forming the Commercial Block. The white and green glazed brick facade was added later. 112-118 South Santa Fe - York block The oid Grand Central Hotel was originally built on this location about 1870. In 1936, L. C. Housel, with th~ heirs of F. C. and A. O. York, removed the second and third floors, leavin~ a business block with 18 foot ceilings. At that time, the stone and Luxfer glass facade was added. Street level facades have changed periodically in 1955, 1970, and 1980. 113 South Santa Fe - Old Briar Pipe Shop et al This is the second of three brick stores built in the spring of 1878 by Wilmarth and Zerbe forming the old Commercjal Block. The upper facade dates from about 1910, the lower facade from 1950. 115 South Santa Fe - Hurry Back Cafe This is the last of three brick, stores built in 1878 by Wilmarth and Zerbe forming the old Commercial Block. The facade matches that of 111 South Santa Fe and probably was built about the same time. It was Ferlin and Leksell's general store in 1882. 117-119 South Santa Fe - A-Smile-A-Minute Camera Shop A-Smile-A-Minute Camera Shop has the only 100% terra cotta ,front in town. It is one of the few buildings for which little concrete information was found. Elements of the terra cotta match J. H. Moore's building at 246-254 South Santa Fe which was built in 1928. Wells Fargo Express had an office in this building in 1898-1899. The basic structure dates from about 1887. The unique neon sign on the facade of this building probably was added about the same time as the terra cotta. 120 South Santa Fe - Shank's Gifts ' Sarah A. Holland is presumed to have built this store in 1887. It was home to the Porter Book Store 1899-1943 when the business was sold to Lee Roy Shank. The facade was remodeled in 1928 and 1948. 121 South Santa Fe - Tuff Threads The 1887 Sanborn map shows a confectionery in this location. The store front has been modernized, probably the 1950's. 122-126 South Santa Fe - Brown-Mackie Business College After a January 1948 fire, F. W. Woolworth Co. rebuilt their store at this address. A compari son of the blue pri nts w;'th a photo of the current facade show few s imil ari- ties. In 1972, Lee Haworth Construction remodeled the street level with brick columns and plate glass. ~.'~~ .. ~.'.""~r,. ~.,,- . ra:;:' . - ~. , ~ " ~-r- ~ r::-:I IP' 11 i [Ii ~A~"-',- 123 S.

Both front and rear facades have been redone since 1977. All of 125 S. Santa Fe is schedu'led for demolition to enlarge the arcade. 129 South Santa Fe - Salina Office Supply David C. Methven probably built a bakery here in 1888 according to deeds and mortgage records. Facade renovation to match 131 and 139 South Santa Fe was probably done about 1919 by t. C. Gray. 128-132 South Santa Fe - Duncan Building According to the Salina Evening Journal, August 5, 1909, Joe Duncan retained a Kansas City architect to design this commercial store front. Plans are to widen the arcade here and part of the building may be removed. 131 South Santa Fe - Jilka Furniture A. F. Shute probably built this store about 1888. About 1919 L. C. Gray renovated the facade to correspond with 129 and 139 South Santa Fe. The aluminum facade was put on in 1968. The current owner is considering a renovation to the 1919 facade of brick, stone and casement windows on the upper level. 134 South Santa Fe - Kress Building S. H. Kress and Co. built this Sullivanesque store about 1910. Contracts date from 1909 and the finished building appears on the 1911 Sanborn map for Salina. 139 South Santa Fe - Jilka Furniture Henri Liebert is assumed to have built this store about 1886. The facade renovation about 1919 by L. C. Gray matches 129 and 131 South Santa Fe. 140 South Santa Fe - J: C. Penney Co. Wilson and Co., Architects and Engineers, designed this building in 1960 to replace the original 1909 building lost to fire in 1959. 141-143 South Santa Fe - Baldwin Brothers Furniture In 1910, T. W. Roach contracted Carl Hvirf to do the brick and stone work on this business block. The foundation was constructed of stone taken from the old Salina County Courthouse. Nelson and Ostenberg also contracted with Hvirf to do their portion. The block originally included the space currently occupied by Huntsingers. The street-level store front was remodeled in 1956. 144-146 South Santa Fe - Vacant (formerly Duckwall's store) The porcelain enameled steel front on this building dates from a 1955 remodeling by C.

It is in the Prairie school style. 645 South Santa Fe This Victorian stick house was built about 1887 for Silas Seaman, early Salina lumber dealer and was partially restored by Barry Fisher in 1981. This house has been home to many of Salina1s professional people. 659 South Santa Fe Smith and Emma George built this simplified Victorian Queen Anne between 1901 and 1904, probably 1902. 660 South Santa Fe For twenty years, this house was the Smith Residential Center for the mentally han- dicapped. It is now being restored to single-family residency. E. C. Wyatt built the house about 1917 while he was secretary-treasurer of Robinson Milling Company. Later, Wyatt founded Wyatt Grain Company and moved to Country Club Road. 680 South Santa Fe Arthur B. McConnell had this house built in 1885. 'Its most notable resident was State Senator Fred H.

He served on the conmittee which established Marymount Col- lege in Salina. In 1978, realtor George Johnson requested and was denied a conditional use permit to operate professional offices in this Victorian house.

Laubengayer, President of the Journal Publishing Co., Charles W. Shaver, Architect, and J. Raymond Geis, President of the Farmers National Bank. An article in the Salina Journal, dated ~1ay 18, 1925, mentions R. J. Laubengayer as president of the Salina Country Club Development Co. and alludes to 17 other investors who had agreed to build homes before August 1, 1926. Through records in the Register of Deeds office and newspaper articles, the names of men who probably were the other investors have been assembled. Based on the original buyers of lots in Country Club Heights and houses actually built in 1926 and 1927, the following are probably those investors and builders: Name Robert J. Laubengayer Charles W. Shaver J. Raymond Geis Joseph P. Burns James L. Cultra Dr. W. C. Heaston C. L. Brown Norbert T. Schwartz Nathan L. Jones Roy M. Heath W. L. Shellabar.ger Dr. W. E. Mowery Roy F. Ba il ey B. 1.

The contour streets, which conform to the topography of the 80 acre tract, were designed to give each lot the best possible view of the surrounding countryside. Over $100,000 was spent in providing for streets, utilities and parks. By August 1926, sixteen homes were either completed or under construction. The Salina Country Club Development Co. enforced rigid restrictions in residential construction. Each home was to be owner occupied. Non-whites were not allowed to buy lots or build. Plans for all construction in the district had to be approved by the development company in writing. Minimum lot frontage was 70 feet and maximum was 150 feet. Houses were to be deep-set on the lot all owi ng for great expanses of 1 awn and garden. No house was to cost less than $6,500, but most cost many times that amount. Most of these restrictions and covenants have given Salina a most elegant residential district. Country Club Heiahts Gate House Charles Shaver esigned this structure as the western entry into the Country Club Heights residential district. The style is English Revival and utilizes native stone in the walls and slate on the roof. 411 Country Club Road Charles W. Shaver designed this Italian Renaissance home for Harry C. Simpson, Jr. Simpson owned the Chevrolet dealership. In 1944, Ernest C. Wyatt of Wyatt Grain Co. purchased the house. Wyatt was a vice-president of Farmers National Bank and built one of the leading grain firms in the state. He was a member of the Salina Board of Trade, the Memorial Hall governing board and several local civic and Masonic groups. The house makes use of shades of yellow brick, limestone and roof tile. 413 Country Club Road This English Revival home was designed by Charles W. Shaver and built by Fred Hartley in 1926 for R. J. Laubengayer. The projected entry features a half-timbered gable. Sandstone quoins define the outer limits of the projection and the door. The roof is slate as is the curved walk leading to the street. Robert J. Laubengayer had the Studebaker automobile dealership. He organized radio station KSAL and was its president until his death in 1958. He also was instrumental in developing KTVH te 1 evi s i on in Hutchi nson. He helped consoli date the Sa 1 i na Eveni ng Journal and the Salina Daily Union in 1925 and directed the resulting newspaper, succeeding to the Journa 1 pres i dency in 1938 and ho 1 di ng that post unti 1 1949. He was vi ce-pres i dent for Kansas Power and Light and had paper mill interests in Detroit. He was a Director of Farmers National Bank and was part of the group which convinced C. L. Brown and associates to build their United Life Insurance building in Salina. He convinced the Army Corps of Engineers to drop a project near Topeka in favor of building Kanopolis and Cedar Bluffs reservoirs. He worked with Guy Helvering to pav.e U.S. Highway 40 from Abilene west and started Highway 45. On a national level, he helped Henry Wallace invent the Triple A program and pushed for the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Robert J. Laubengayer was one of the driving forces behind the Country Club Heights development. It is fitting that his home is one of the most impressive. 417 Country Club Road 6 Crestview ~y:;.-.;.;....~_:.:- 12 Crestview 421 Country Club Road 7 Cre'stview 14 Crestview I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 48 417 Country Club Road One of the most impressive Colonial Revival residences in Salina is the house Charles w. Shaver designed and A. W. Oaleen built for James S. Hargett in 1927. The yellow brick nicely sets off the white colonial detail. Like others on this street, the house sets well back on the lot with a long curving walk connecting house and street. Hargett was secretary-treasurer and general manager of the Robinson Milling Co. 421 Country Club Road The Bishop's "palaceu is an,other Charles W. Shaver design. Originally built for Ernest C. Wyatt in 1930, the house was sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salina in 1944. This was the Bishop's official residence until 1983 when he opted for less ostentatious quarters. This impressive English Revival residence has a steeply pitched slate roof, half-timbered gables and Tudor arches framing the entries. The corner lot provides for a great expanse of lawn which is cut by a circle drive. 6 Crestview Salina architect, C. A. Smith, designed this house for one of the developers of Country Club Heights, J. Raymond Geis. This Colonial Revival house is one of the few frame' houses in the original development. J. R. Geis was thought to be the youngest bank president in the country in 1922, when at age 40, he became President of Farmers National Bank. In 1929 he became President of the Salina Chamber of Commerce. He was President of the Kansas Bankers Association in 1934. For three years, he was a member of the executive council of the American Bankers Association. President F. O. Roose- velt appointed him to the, Board of the Kansas City office of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Geis was a pioneer in establishing uniform service charges in the banks of the country. Not a bad record for a high school dropout. His daughter still lives in the house. 7 Crestview Charles W. Shaver designed this Georgian Colonial Revival for Harry J. and Maude Taylor in 1927. Taylor was a pawning contractor. 12 Crestview Built in 1941, this very modern house utilizes design characteristics favored by Kansas City, Kansas architect, Louis Curtiss. Since he died in 1924, it is doubtful this house is his design, but was certainly influenced by his work. No architect was discovered for this house. Mary Rexroad was the original owner. Its most notable residents were Glen Bramwell, banker, and his wife, Ruby Phillips Bramwell. She authored City on the Move, the Story of Salina. This structure was added to Part II by the state arcnitectural historian. 14 Crestview Milling executive, W. L. Shellabarger had Clarence E. Shephard, Kansas City, MO. design this English Revival residence in 1926. He lived there only one year. Another milling magnate, John J. Vanier, lived there from 1930 to 1938. Half timbering is more evident on this house than on most in this area. The asymmetry of line, the lighter colored brick, limestone and covering vines give this house an entirely different aura than the other English Revivals in Country Club Heights. 17 Crestview 22 Crestview -:-,.~, ';t; . -'4;. .~.' ,'. ..;::~... ......~.

Shaver, built this English Revival for himself. The elaborate nogging between timbers is of exceptional quality. There are no less than six distinct patterns on the facade alone. The window and door openings are symmetrically placed on each level. Shaver was one of the developers of the Country Club Heights addition. He also is responsible for Memorial Hall, the Great Plains building, the old Salvation Army citadel, many of Salinals churches and the United Life building. Much of downtown Salina owes its design to Shaverls talents. Shaver designed a multitude of churches, schools and other institutional buildings in northwest Kansas and southern Nebraska. 19 Crestview Shaver designed this Georgian Revival in 1930 for his neighbor, George W. Gunter, lumberman. This house features asymmetrical windows and chimneys, a pedimented portico and porch wings. The east porch has been enclosed. 22 Crestview Salina architect, Myron Johnson designed this Colonial Revival house for Dr. William E. Mowery, founder of Mowery Clinic. One of the original houses in this district, it features roof dormers, and an entry with pediment, pilasters and side lights. A 1960 shingle addition rests atop a side porch. Dr. Mowery w9s'a noted Kansas surgeon, one of the few state members of the International College of Surgeons; He greatly contributed to Salina's growth as a medical center for north central and northwestern Kansas. 58 Fairdale Isadore Vehon of Stiefel IS Department Store commissioned Shaver to design this English Revival residence in 1929. The entry has a limestone Tudor arch and quoins. Brick nogging replaced stucco in between the mock timbering. 203 Greenwa, Road Although al the lots were to be owner occupied, Nathan Jones, through Public Utility Investment bought Lots 2-5 in Block 4 for speculative housing. Charles Shaver de- signed all 4 houses. Ed Marx was the project overseer and this became his home. Another English Revival, this one features a garage in the basement. 208 Greenwa~ Road ' Adolph Gehr s house, built in 1926, is one of the few houses for which no architect can be discovered. Johnson Brothers did the construction. This Prairie Renaissance house features a recessed arched entry framed in limestone, hip roof and wide eaves. There is a second story balconet over the entry. Gehr was a grocer. 212 Greenway Road Dale C. Hudkin's house is another mystery. Neither architect nor builder was dis- covered. This is yet another English Revival. Less symmetric than most English Revivals in this area, this house features sandstone placed randomly in the facade, sandstone sills and lintels. Hudkins was an automobile dealer. 1020verhill'Road 405 East Park Lane 106 Overhill Road '300 West Park Lane 302 West Park Lane I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 50 102 Overhill Road The "mysterious" Dr. W. C. Heaston commissioned Shaver to build this French Renais- sance. It is one of the original houses. Dr. Heaston was not in Salina very long for he I s never 1 i sted in the city di rectori es. The entry is framed in 1 imestone. The long narrow windows have ornate window hoods of wood. The asymmetric hip roof is very steep. There is no other house in Salina quite like this. 106 Overhill Road Harry E. Dryden, manager of the C. R. Anthony store, had this Prairie Renaissance house built between 1929 and 1931. The recessed Tudor arch entry is framed in lime- stone. Long French wi ndows fl ank the entry. The hi p roof has wi de, overhangi ng eaves. The second story windows have balconets. 405 East Park Lane This Spanish Colonial residence is one of the original houses in Country Club Heights. Charles W. Shaver designed this house for N. E. Spradley, who was in real estate. Currently the house is occupied by the fami ly of John Shaver, Archi tect son of Charl es W. Shaver. Thi s structure was added to Part II by the state architectural historian. 300 West Park Lane Ben Byrnes, architect, and Fred Hartley, contractor, teamed up to deliver this Colonial Revival house. J. L. Cultra's home is one of the original houses. The roof is tile. The shutters are functional. The windows have limestone sills and key- stones. The entry features a fan light, pediment and pilasters. 302 West Park Lane Another Ben Byrnes design, this time executed by Johnson Brothers, is this Italian Renaissance home. The low hip roof is covered with tile. The recessed arched entry has a fan 1 i ght. Wi ndow placement is symmetri ca 1. There is a ba 1 conet over the entry. Joseph P. Burns was a 1 eadi ng Sa 1 i na banker. In 1906 he was elected County Clerk for 2 terms. Later, he lost a very close race for State Treasurer. Burns had been a national bank examiner and an examiner for the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation in Wichita. He was also Kansas trap shoot champion. His wife, Minnie, was also elected County Clerk. She was secretary-treasurer of Saline County National Farm Loan Association. After her husband's death in 1933, she opened Burns Real Estate Agency. f\ / ~i'm,f/)'i':1 :.~ "\',' ;;. i'~ ,', ' 1.' ,';'~''''r' '1.'''~ i ;,(., f;-:.!l ,~:o.~i f".\~~~;~'i;; -:: :i'~'il.-:,';''''~M. ,'.,s.,;' 1';"1'/ ~J;:;.;;;/r.:,..; IlfiJ'.
