Bichet, Claude, Farmstead
2959 US Highway 50Florence vicinity (Marion County)
Listed in State Register Nov 19, 2011
Architect: Undetermined
Area of Significance: domestic
Architectural Style(s): Vernacular
French immigrant Claude Francis Bichet and his wife Sophia settled this property in 1858, two years before the Kansas Territorial Legislature established Marion County’s boundaries and seven years before the county government organized. The property is located in the Cottonwood River valley where some of the area's earliest residents settled, including a group of French-speaking immigrants from France, Belgium, and Switzerland. This French colony centered near Florence developed over a period of forty years, and, by 1885, included over 60 families. The young Bichet family erected a log cabin on this property in about 1859 and later added an impressive two-story limestone wing in 1875. Their son Alphonse Bichet owned the property in the late 19th century and passed it to his son Frederick. The property remains in the Bichet family, and extant farm buildings include an 1875 stone smokehouse and a mid-20th century barn and milkhouse. It is nominated for its association with the early settlement of Marion County and for its architecture.

Bierer, Samuel, House
410 North 7th StreetHiawatha (Brown County)
Listed in National Register Jul 8, 2010
Architect: unknown
Area of Significance: single dwelling
Architectural Style(s): Late Victorian; Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements
The Samuel Bierer House was built in about 1888 in a neighborhood of turn-of-the-century residences just two blocks north of downtown Hiawatha. Albert Lawrence, proprietor of the Hiawatha firm Bierer, Lawrence, and Company, built the house and sold it to his business partner in 1891. The two-and-a-half-story wood-frame residence exhibits an interesting blend of late 19th century Victorian stylistic influences with early twentieth century Craftsman updates. The original shed roof porch with Victorian-era spindlework was replaced in 1926 with the current low hipped-roof structure supported by short square wood porch columns typical of the Craftsman era. There is an historic limestone sidewalk with two hitching posts along the north side of the property. A two-car garage was added to the property southwest of the house in the 1920s. The property was nominated for its architecture.
Big Brutus
6509 NW 60th St.West Mineral (Cherokee County)
Listed in National Register Jan 5, 2018
Architect: Bucyrus-Erie
Area of Significance: extractive facility
Architectural Style(s): Other
The physical and cultural landscape of Southeast Kansas was significantly impacted by the coal mining industry. Almost from the first years of settlement, mining became one of Cherokee County’s staple industries. As technology improved and demand for the resource changed, industry adapted from deep-shaft mining, which was labor intensive, to strip-mining, which relied more heavily on machinery. During the last era of coal mining in the region, 1960 to 1974, strip mining was accomplished on a scale not seen before in the state. Built between 1962 & 1963 and weighing 5,500 tons, the Bucyrus-Erie 1850B, known as Big Brutus, uncovered over 900,000 tons of coal in each of the 11 years he worked. His demise in 1974, ushered in by changes to environmental laws, effectively ended the coal mining industry in Kansas.
Big Gyp Cave Pictograph Site (14CM305)
Address RestrictedButtermilk (Comanche County)
Listed in National Register Jul 9, 1982
Architect: Not applicable
Area of Significance: work of art
Thematic Nomination: Kansas Rock Art
This is one of 30 American Indian rock art sites located in the state of Kansas and the only pictograph site included in the nomination. The majority of the sites are located in four counties in the central part of the state. Smaller numbers are located in southeast and southwestern Kansas. These sites have examples of anthropomorphic figures and human-like forms, animals and animal-like forms, geometric designs, straight lines, and grooves. Several styles of anthropomorphic petroglyphs have been recognized. Previous analysis of a fraction of this rock art indicates it is the product of Indian tribes inhabiting Kansas during the protohistoric and historic periods of circa AD 1541 to AD 1870.

Birchmore, John W., House
1204 N. Buckeye AvenueAbilene (Dickinson County)
Listed in National Register Apr 7, 2014
Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: domestic
Architectural Style(s): Second Empire
Episcopal priest John W. Birchmore purchased a four-acre tract in 1878 and contracted to build this Second Empire-style residence. Examples of the Second Empire style can be found in many Kansas communities, often on residences built in the 1870s and early 1880s. A hallmark of the style is the mansard roof, a double-pitched roof with a steep lower slope. This residence features a mansard roof with pedimented windows, another common characteristic of the style. While it also is common to see Second Empire residences with a tower, this element is usually centered prominently on the front elevation. The Birchmore House has a tower, but it is located on a secondary elevation and has a cone-shaped roof rather than the more typical mansard roof. Birchmore served St. John's Episcopal Church in Abilene for a short period, and the residence was sold several times in subsequent decades. Much of the surrounding acreage was sold off in the early- and mid-20th century for development. It was nominated for its local significance in the area of architecture.
Bitting Building
107 N MarketWichita (Sedgwick County)
Listed in National Register Feb 28, 2012
Architect: Undetermined
Area of Significance: commerce
Architectural Style(s): Chicago
The Bitting Building was constructed as a four-story building in 1912, and seven stories were added in 1919. A. W. and C. W. Bitting were known throughout the Midwest as successful merchants and real estate entrepreneurs. They established a men's clothing store in a two-story wood-frame building at this location in 1878 and in 1886 relocated the building to make way for a four-story brick structure. That building was razed in 1911 to make way for a new four-story building in 1912 from which they did business and leased office and retail space. The Bitting brothers maintained offices in the building until their deaths in the early 1930s. The property changed hands several times was completely renovated in 1959. Exterior changes included the installation of aluminum-framed windows and storefronts, the installation of black granite panels at the base of the building, and replacement of the cornice and belt course with aluminum panels. The interior was again renovated in the 1980s. It is nominated for its commercial significance.
