Wichita Public Library - Main Branch
223 South Main St.Wichita (Sedgwick County)
Listed in National Register Oct 2, 2020
Architect: Schaefer Schirmer & Eflin
Area of Significance: education related; library
Architectural Style(s): Modern Movement
The Wichita Public Library is a very significant piece of Wichita Modern architecture for Brutalist architecture. It was designed by Wichita’s most revered and prolific Modernist architecture firm from the late 1950s through the 1970s. It is one of the first and the best example of the Brutalist Style in Wichita and is a very pure example because it illustrates all the principles of Brutalism and is constructed of exposed raw concrete on both the exterior and interior. The library is an excellent representative of a style that was only relevant for a short period of time, internationally from 1950 to 1980 (in Wichita from 1962 to 1974), and it retains its historic integrity, characterdefining features, and exceptional design.

Listed in National Register May 6, 2009
Architect: Wright, Grover C., builder
Area of Significance: single dwelling
Architectural Style(s): Tudor Revival
This modest house located in Wichita's College Hill neighborhood was home for 40 years to one of Wichita State University's most influential female leaders - Grace Wilkie. Fairmont Congregational College, as the institution was then known, hired Wilkie in 1912 to lead the Home Economics Department. Outside of teaching, she was committed to serving her community through various organizations dedicated to women's suffrage, war relief efforts, and the American Red Cross. She took a brief leave of absence after World War I to join the American Committee for Devastated France. Upon her return in 1922, she was promoted to the position of Dean of Women, which she held until her retirement in 1953. That same year the college named its new women's residence hall in her honor. Wilkie, who had no children of her own, counted some 9,000 young women among the students she had supervised during her tenure - many of whom attended an annual tea at her home on English Street. Built in 1927 by Grover C. Wright, Wilkie lived in this house with her sister Sophronia until her death in 1967.
