Architectural DrawingsDescription of the CollectionDrawings include businesses, private homes, historic buildings, and architects' copies of plans of buildings constructed by the State of Kansas (the State's copies of plans of State buildings are in the State archives holdings of the historical society or held by the Division of Architectural Services, Kansas Department of Administration).

Related records of the company are in the manuscripts collection. Drawings and related records of the Manhattan firm of Wolfenbarger and McCulley and the Topeka practice of Carl Ossmann & Associates are also available, as are smaller quantities of drawings from several other firms.
