Church of the Assumption Historic District
204 & 212 SW 8th Avenue & 735 SW Jackson StreetTopeka (Shawnee County)
Listed in National Register Jul 7, 2015
Architect: Carroll, J. Maurice; Williamson, Loebsack & Assoc.
Area of Significance: religious facility
Architectural Style(s): Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival
The Church of the Assumption (1924) and Assumption Rectory (1929) were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The buildings, along with an associated garage, were nominated for their architectural significance as examples of the Mission Revival and Renaissance Revival styles. This nomination expands the boundaries to include the two associated schools, the former Hayden High School (1939) and Assumption School (1954), and adds an argument for the property's educational significance. The Church of the Assumption established the first Catholic elementary school and high school in Topeka. For much of the period of significance, Hayden High School served all of the city's Catholic parishes. The construction of Assumption School in 1954 during the Baby Boom illustrates the rapid expansion of growth of Catholic education after World War II.
Church of the Holy Name
1110 SW 10th AvenueTopeka (Shawnee County)
Listed in National Register Jan 20, 2012
Architect: Schlacks, Henry
Area of Significance: religious facility
Architectural Style(s): Italian Renaissance
Until 1914, Topeka Catholics were served by two parishes - St. Joseph's and Assumption. By the early 20th century, Topeka's westward-moving population necessitated the creation of a new parish to accommodate the 250 Catholic families who lived west of Topeka Boulevard and south of the Kansas River. The fledgling new Holy Name parish purchased property at the corner of Tenth and Clay streets on which to build its first building - a combination church, school, rectory, and office building. Under the leadership of Father Michael O'Leary, the parish made plans for a permanent house of worship, and hired Chicago architect Henry Schlacks to design the building. Schlacks combined his interest in architecture and devotion to the Catholic Church when in 1898 he founded the Notre Dame architecture program, the first at any Catholic university in America. Modeled after Chicago's St. Ignatius Church, which Schlacks designed, Topeka's Church of the Holy Name was completed in 1925 and reflects the Renaissance Revival style. The two-story building features a cross plan, a dressed Carthage limestone exterior with Tuscan Doric pilasters at all corners and junctions, and a tile roof. The building is nominated for its architecture.

The district is locally significant for its association with the development of the College Hill residential and commercial neighborhood that developed in conjunction with Washburn College (later Washburn University) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The period of significance extends from circa 1888, the date of construction of the oldest historic residence, to circa 1930, the date of construction of the last contributing building. The College Hill neighborhood had a unique identity due to its associations with the college; the establishment of its own shopping area, school, and churches; and its distinct built environment. The district is also locally significant for its residential architecture, which reflects a continuum of middle- and upper-middle-class single-family residential architectural styles popular during the late nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century.
