Thematic Nomination: Historic Public Schools of Kansas

First constructed in 1880 for Winfield’s second or west ward, the Bryant School is the only extant school building that illustrates the town’s earliest public education history. As the town’s population grew, the school building was expanded to include additional classroom space first in 1916 then in circa 1922 when a separate elementary building was constructed on the north side of the parcel. The main school building was again updated in 1938 to accommodate better circulation and the building’s first indoor restrooms. The Bryant School continued to serve the children of western Winfield until 1964. By the end of the 1960s this was the home of the Cowley County Historical Society Museum, who continues to own and operate it today. The school complex is significant for its association with Winfield’s public education history and for its local architectural significance as an example of the City Graded School.

The bank was initially listed in 1983; however, the nomination only included its mansard roof portion. This documentation is updating the 1983 nomination and extending the boundary to include the entire building. The building was designed and constructed in 1886 by local architect Willis A. Ritchie. (W. A. Ritchie)1 It has been a visual and commercial anchor, as well as a cornerstone of Winfield since its completion. The building is on the northeast corner of Main and 9th Street. At one time, there were four banks in total at this intersection. In 1922 the Cowley County National Bank merged with the National Bank in Winfield and vacated the building. The bank’s stockholders retained ownership of the bank building and had it remodeled for mercantile occupancy.

Winfield vicinity (Cowley County)
Listed in National Register Dec 29, 2015

Architect: Jerry Hammon (builder)
Area of Significance: road-related; transportation
Architectural Style(s): Other
Thematic Nomination: Masonry Arch Bridges of Kansas

The East Badger Creek Culvert is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under the "Masonry Arch Bridges of Kansas MPS." The culvert is locally significant, nominated under Criterion C in the area of Engineering, as it retains the distinctive historic characteristics of a locally built, rural stone arch span. Due to its size, the culvert was not included in the statewide survey of stone bridges conducted by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) during the early 1980s, but it embodies the type, period and method of construction of a rural stone arch span. The period of significance is 1905-1906, the time during which the culvert was built.
