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.
Rosberg-Holmgren-Clareen Block
109-113 N Main StLindsborg (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.

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.
