Garfield University in Wichita, KS. This was one of Wichita's many higher ed institutions in the 1880s, although it struggled financially in its early days. Trolleys brought students from downtown out to here where they entered from the right side of the photo, stopped in front of the large front stairs, loaded and unloaded students and then traveled back to switching stations throughout downtown Wichita.

A 1937 photo of the Maurice W. Levy Mansion at 204 North Topeka, built in 1887 in Wichita, KS. William Henry Sternberg was the designer & builder of this residence. Mr. Levy came to Wichita from California and started at the Wichita National Bank as a clerk. He worked his way up to bank president and built this house after becoming president of the bank. It's last use was as a meeting place for the Wichita Commercial Club. This is a sad image of an icon of Victorian high style being over-run by commercial development. At this point there was no more hope for the home and it was razed shortly after this photo was taken. Wichitans were quick to want to escape their not-so-distant frontier past and "old buildings" like this were an easy target for neglect and then demolition. A very similar mentality is seen today with respect to Wichita leadership (aka the C.O.R.E. project in Wichita's Historic Midtown) in which approximately 20 more 1890-1900 era homes could well be razed all in the name of "development". These 20 homes are not slated for protection in the C.O.R.E. development plan as some buildings specifically are. Historic preservation and renovation is ALWAYS more green-friendly than tearing down and rebuilding from scratch and has many other community benefits, too. Your thoughts, comments, ideas and additional information are always welcome and appreciated!! This photos is courtesy of the Wichita Public Library, (www.wichita.lib.ks.us)

Wichita's Keeper of the Plains Statue. From wichitagov.org: "The Keeper of the Plains proudly stands at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers with hands raised high. Since the sculpture's installation in 1974 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial, it has become a symbol for the city of Wichita and a tribute to the Native American tribes who continue to gather at this sacred heartland. The Keeper also serves as the focal point of an eight-year, $20 million restoration and river beautification project completed in May 2007." Visit my website: www.chrism70.com
