This concludes the February 2024 meeting of the Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review. We hope you enjoyed learning more about Kansas and its history and places. Our next meeting is June 1st at 9:30am.
The Del Monte Apartments in Topeka, Shawnee County has been approved for listing on the Kansas Register of historic places.
The interior has been modified by previous owners, but many of the windows and some of the layout is still there. The owners plan for a historic rehabilitation for this building.
The 1923 Garlinghouse Catalog had 13 different apartment buildings styles. The Del Monte Apartments were the first apt. built by the company and only known to still stand.
The building is a rare example of the L.F. Garlinghouse company apartment plan. (Garlinghouse built over 400 houses around Topeka).
constructed in 1922-1923 the Del Monte Apartments are close to downtown Topeka and were built during the Post WW1 housing boom.
The last nomination is the Del Monte Apartments located in Topeka, Shawnee County.
The Walker School is approved for listing to the Kansas Register of Historic Places
The interior of the building no longer looks like that of the Walker School, so the integrity of the school has been modified but the significance and history of this space is worth preserving and sharing #kshistory
After the school was closed, the building became used for a church and a 1950s addition was added to the front and side of the building.
The KS Supreme court ruled that the schools were not equal and students were allowed to enroll in South Park School in 1940 and the district was again integrated. At that time the Walker School was closed as a school.
In 1948-1949 the teachers and students boycotted the Walker School and students were taught in homes by the teachers. The school did not provide proper resources for the African American Students. A lawsuit was filed (Webb v. School District No. 90) was filed in 1948.
The Walker School served the African American students and a brand new school was built for white students with updated services and amenities. The Walker School was 2-rooms with 2 teachers for 50 total students.
The original building was built in 1888 and it's part of the Black Ethnic Heritage and Civil Rights History. Originally built in South Park, Johnson County (now a part of Merriam) South Park schools were integritated but then segregated in 1897.
The next property is the Walker School in Merriam, Johnson County,
The Frank and Agnes Schmotz Farmstead is in Bonner Springs, Wyandotte County, has been approved for Listing on the Kansas Register and the National Register.
The Schmotz Family purchased the site and constructed the house, barn, and all the farmstead resources on the property.
The farmstead is still owned by the great-grandsons of Frank and Agnes Schmotz, the builders of this farm.
The farmstead dates between 1906 and was a family farm until the 1970s.
The Frank & Agnes Schmotz farmstead near Bonner Springs, Wyandotte County is our next property for consideration.

@kansashistory The tough thing about bridges like this is that I have yet to see a historic one (unless it's still carrying traffic) being maintained. The bridges at Clements, Rainbow Arch at Emporia, and Tauy Creek are all disassembling.

Our forthcoming issue includes an article by James Ralston and Lauren Ritterbush about the first Indian agency to serve the Kaw Nation. They conclude that "the federal installation did little to support the Kanza nation, but it played an important role in the cultural landscape."
