Star Cash Grocery Store and Residence

696 E 1719 Rd
Baldwin City (Douglas County)
Listed in National Register Sep 30, 2019

Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: domestic
Architectural Style(s): Late Victorian

The Star Cash Store and Residence property are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for commerce, and Criterion C for architecture. The property derives local significance from its association with early Vinland, Kansas settlers George Cutter, William Barnes, and John Walton, and from later connections to the prominent Vinland mercantile families Kennedy, Varnum, Hoskinson, and Hagerman, and the entrepreneurial Chanay family. The property also holds two buildings exemplifying patterns of rural vernacular architecture typical of the times in which they were built – the residence in 1890, and the store in 1921. The store building is a surviving element of the busy mercantile life of a small rural village from the 1920s to the 1950s. Also, the buildings hold a significant place in the social lives of Vinland-area residents during the period of their active use in connection with the retail grocery business. Finally, the property is an important contributor to its broader environmental context, as an essential component of a conspicuous, nearly continuous row of largely unaltered period buildings constituting the historic main street of Vinland, Kansas.

State Bank of Eudora

707 Main Street
Eudora (Douglas County)
Listed in State Register Aug 11, 2012

Architect: Undetermined
Area of Significance: financial institution
Architectural Style(s): Late Victorian

On March 10, 1892 The Eudora News proclaimed, "Eudora is to have a bank." The small one-story brick and stone building opened its doors in June 1892. The bank's first president was Charles Pilla, an immigrant from Bavaria who settled in Eudora in 1865 and opened a general store. The State Bank failed in 1923 and was then used by the Home State Bank and later the Kaw Valley State Bank. The building has long drawn the attention of passersby with its ornate and highly decorative cornice. It was nominated to the Register of Historic Kansas Places for its local significance in the area of commerce.

Trail Park & DAR Marker

NW intersection of E 1700 RD & N 400 RD
Baldwin City (Douglas County)
Listed in National Register Jul 17, 2013

Architect: N/A
Area of Significance: park
Thematic Nomination: Historic Resources of the Santa Fe Trail (Amended 2013)

The Santa Fe Trail enters Douglas County at its extreme southeast corner east of Baldwin City and is generally oriented toward the west, but it turns to the northwest as it nears Baldwin City. Maps of this area produced as early as 1857 indicate that this small portion of the trail north of Baldwin City was incorporated into the local road network early in the county's history. Still today, this road is a rare angled thoroughfare in an otherwise gridded road pattern. In 1907, Civil War veteran Isaiah Stickle and his wife Jennie donated to Baker University a small half-acre parcel along this angled roadway to commemorate the trail. It became known as Trail Park. Two local chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) partnered to erect a monument at the park, which was unveiled in a ceremony on October 11, 1907. These two chapters, the General Edward Hand chapter of Ottawa and Betty Washington chapter of Lawrence, were among the first to organize in Kansas. Their efforts were part of a larger effort led by the Kansas Society DAR to place 93 granite markers along the 500-mile trail route in Kansas between 1906 and 1914. The park and marker are nominated for their significance in the area of social history.
