Kennedy Hotel
117 Third StreetParadise (Russell County)
Listed in National Register Jan 17, 2007
Architect: Not listed
Area of Significance: single dwelling
Architectural Style(s): Other
As one of the earliest buildings erected in Paradise, Kansas, the Kennedy Hotel (c. 1888, 1936) is significant for its association with the early development of the community. The construction of the limestone hotel in 1888 was documented in area newspapers including the Waldo Enterprise and the Russell Record. Catherine Kennedy, who also served as postmaster, opened her hotel in September of 1888. Although she soon sold the property, the building operated as a hotel until 1913 when it became the private residence of the Samuel Brown family. During the Great Depression, Brown lost his downtown grocery business to a fire. He added onto the nominated property and reopened his business. Since the construction of the original two-story limestone hotel building in 1888, the property changed and evolved to reflect the needs and uses of its first four owners. The changes and additions, all made within the historic period of significance, help convey the history of a property that served as a hotel, grocery store, and private residence.

The Reiff Building is not only important for its social, civic, and cultural history, but also because it retains its architectural integrity as an early 20th century commercial style building. In 1910, Harvey Anspaugh purchased three lots in downtown Dorrance. With the assistance of his brother Hiram, they began the design and construction of the two-story limestone building, which would serve both commercial and entertainment functions. A.C. Reiff, who operated a farm supply business out of the building until World War II, purchased the property from Anspaugh soon after its construction. It now houses the collections and displays of the Dorrance Historical Society Museum. Reflective of many late nineteenth and early twentieth century opera houses across Kansas, the Reiff Building featured an opera house on the second floor of a commercial building in the heart of a downtown.
Russell County Jail & Sheriff's Residence
331 North Kansas StreetRussell (Russell County)
Listed in National Register Feb 3, 2012
Architect: Squires, Charles W.
Area of Significance: correctional facility; museum
Architectural Style(s): Romanesque
The Russell County Jail and Sheriff's Residence was designed by Emporia-based architect Charles W. Squires and was built in 1907 by James L. Phinney. The building exhibits the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style with its two crenellated corner bays or turrets and an imposing one-story porch with a massive stone archway. Although the Squires' original plan called for a brick building, the material was changed to locally quarried limestone, which is abundant and used in other community and private buildings in Russell, including the 1902 courthouse. The building served both as a jail and as a residence for the sheriff and his family until 1958. Other Kansas communities, including Seneca and Washington, erected similar jail facilities. The Russell County Historical Society has operated a museum and genealogy office out of the building since 1968.
