Architect: Unknown/NYA
Area of Significance: other
Architectural Style(s): Other
Thematic Nomination: New Deal-era Resources of Kansas

The Sim Park Golf Course Tee Shelters are located in Sim Park, an approximate 181-acre tract situated in a bend on the west side of the Arkansas River between 13th and Central. Specifically, the shelters can be found on the 13th, 15th, and 18th tees of the Sim Park golf course. Before the onset of the Depression, the golf course, clubhouse, and Memorial Entrance to Sim Park had been completed. As the largest park in Wichita's system, Sim Park was the recipient of numerous New Deal planned projects during the 1930s. Their construction is attributed to the National Youth Administration; as such, they are the only recorded extant resources in Wichita built by this New Deal program, which was geared towards the youth of America during the Great Depression. The stone tee shelter structures show the influence of Rustic Park architecture in their design, as evidenced by their stone construction, buttressed base, and exposed rafters and beams.

Smyser House

931 Buffum Ave
Wichita (Sedgwick County)
Listed in National Register May 21, 2009

Architect: Hembree, Charles, F./Builder
Area of Significance: single dwelling; transportation
Architectural Style(s): Bungalow/Craftsman
Thematic Nomination: Residential Resources of Wichita, Sedgwick County, KS, 1870-1957

Built in 1919, the Smyser House is a good example of a bungalow residence and also represents the middle-income socio-economic lifestyle of two early nineteenth-century Wichita businessmen. As Wichita prospered after World War I, the land on the banks of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers became highly desirable for new residences. These houses, including 931 Buffum, were typically built in the newly fashionable Craftsman style of architecture. Property owner Ray Popkess chose a modest Craftsman design on a one-story plan and hired Wichita carpenter Charles F. Hembree to build it. The house is named for longtime property owners Lydia Smyser and her son Clyde, a well-known West Side businessman who participated in civic, church, and fraternal affairs.

The 200 block of S. Kansas Avenue was initially developed during a time when the city was experiencing explosive growth that led to the neighborhood and commercial expansion outside the city’s core. Development along this section of East Douglas, one of the city’s main east/west thoroughfares, followed the establishment of Wichita’s “Auto-Row” on E. Douglas immediately east of downtown and coincided with the selection of the south side of the 2200 block as home to Wichita’s new high school, built in the 1920s to serve the eastward-marching Wichita population. In addition to reflecting the city’s eastward growth and resulting residential development, the S. Kansas Avenue Historic District represents the work of local contractor Raymond P. Pinegar.
