Houston and Pierre Streets Residential Historic District

Architect: Winter, Henry B., Wolfenbarger, Floyd O.
Category: residential district

Located just south and west of Manhattan's historic downtown commercial center, the 26-acre Houston and Pierre Streets Residential Historic District is characterized by tree-lined streets and late 19th and early 20th century residences. Representing approximately 75 years of new construction, the homes within the district reflect a wide variety of architectural styles including Italianate, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Tudor, and Craftsman in addition to vernacular folk house forms. The district also includes brick sidewalks and several historic garages accessed from the alleys. The majority of the buildings in the district are of wood frame construction, although some prominent residences feature native stone or brick construction. The district is locally significant for its reflection of the community's residential building patterns associated with the economic growth when the town flourished as a rural railroad market center, county seat, and college town during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The district is nominated as part of the "Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Residential Resources in Manhattan" Multiple Property Submission.

Houston, Samuel D., House

Architect: John Soupine
Category: single dwelling

The Samuel Houston House was built in 1857 with plans drawn by John Soupine (stone mason) for use by Samuel Houston and his family. It was built in the national folk style popular at the time, fashioned of native limestone, locally quarried. The house is nominated for its associations with important contributions to the history of the founding of Manhattan and Kansas during the territorial period leading up to the Civil War and beyond. It is also nominated for the involvement of Dexter in several political functions as a member of the State Legislature and Senate where he helped establish the modern boundaries of Kansas, write the State Constitution and maintained contact with President Lincoln. The house is architecturally significant for the use of local materials with now-lost masonry techniques to finish the façade-facing side of the stones.
