Architect: Raymer, Lester
Area of Significance: museum
Architectural Style(s): Other

The Red Barn Craft Studio is an assortment of interconnected buildings and sheds that artist Lester Wilmer Raymer used as his studio and residence for more than 45 years. The property, which later became known as simply the Red Barn Studio, served as his art studio, gallery, and residence from 1945 to 1991, and it continues to function as a gallery and museum dedicated to Raymer's art. During the years Raymer was associated with the property, he remodeled and transformed the early 20th century buildings using recycled materials and the result is a unique property that very much a displays Raymer's folk art abilities and his evolving skill of working with a variety of mediums. The period of significance begins with Raymer's acquisition of the property in 1945 and extends to 1975, with the last of his major exterior renovations to the property. In addition to the sprawling studio, the property includes an early 20th century residence, a free-standing one-car garage, and a shed. It was nominated to the Register of Historic Kansas Places for its association with artist Lester Raymer and for its expression of Raymer's artistic abilities.

Picture of property 109-113 N Main St
Lindsborg (McPherson County)
Listed in National Register Oct 11, 2016

Architect: unknown
Area of Significance: restaurant; specialty store; single dwelling
Architectural Style(s): Commercial

The Rosberg-Holmgren-Clareen Block is an excellent intact representative of the early permanent commercial structures constructed by Swedish immigrants on Lindsborg’s Main Street. Between these three nearly identical buildings were numerous enterprises, most of which were family businesses that served Lindsborg residents for decades and provided essential goods and services. The business owners were pillars of the community. Albert Train and C.V. Rosberg were members of the Commercial Club (precursor to the Chamber of Commerce); Train was also a member of the fire company. Rosberg was a city councilman; the Train family helped found the Bethany Church. Rosberg, Train, Runbeck, and Peterson were multi-generation business owners and all were first or second generation immigrants. The three buildings are excellent examples of a Commercial Style building with Italianate detailing distinguished by their brick corbelling, ornate metal window hoods, cast-iron storefront columns, and wood-framed transoms. This nomination expanded and amended the nomination of the Clareen/Peterson Restaurant Building that was individually listed in the National Register on April 22, 2009.

Canton (McPherson County)
Listed in National Register Sep 21, 2005

Architect: Not listed
Area of Significance: animal facility
Architectural Style(s): Other

The Schroeder Barn was completed in 1915 on the farmstead of Heinrich H. Schroeder, an immigrant farmer and Mennonite from South Russia. The cash crop for the Schroeder farm was wheat, but prairie grass and alfalfa were grown for hay to feed the draft horses and milk cows. The farm also produced the family's food. Chickens, cows, and pigs were all kept to provide the family with milk, eggs, and meat. The barn was erected in 1915 during a period of prosperity on the farm, and it provided shelter for the various farm animals and storage for grain and hay. It was damaged by a tornado in 1946, and its original gambrel roof was replaced with the current gable roof. It was nominated for its agricultural significance and association with Mennonite settlement of the Great Plains.
