Ash-Grove Historic District on East Douglas Avenue
2100-2300 E Douglas (evens); 114 & 117 N Madison; 111 N Spruce; 115-117 N GroveWichita (Sedgwick County)
Listed in National Register Apr 5, 2016
Architect: Multiple Builders
Area of Significance: commerce
Architectural Style(s): Commercial Style; Modern Movement
The Ash-Grove Historic District on East Douglas Avenue was nominated under Criterion A for its association with the growth and development of this commercial cluster opposite Wichita East High School. The 2100-2300 Blocks of East Douglas Avenue were initially developed during a time when the city was experiencing explosive growth that led to neighborhood and commercial expansion outside the city's core. Development along this section of East Douglas, one of the city's main east-west thoroughfares, followed the establishment of Wichita’s "Auto-Row" on East Douglas immediately east of downtown and coincided with the selection of the south side of the 2200 block as home to Wichita's new high school, built in the 1920s to serve the eastward-marching Wichita population. This growth stalled by the end of the decade as the 1930s ushered in a focus on survival, not expansion. The second wave of development within this district spanned from 1940-1960. Wichita's World-War II and post-war growth was related largely to Wichita's aviation industry. Grove Street, the eastern boundary of the district, served as the north-south thoroughfare connecting the aviation businesses that had developed south and east of the city. Eight new buildings were constructed in this three-block area in the post-war era. The district generally took its current form by 1960. The Ash-Grove Historic District is locally significant; its period of significance spans from 1917 to 1960. The period begins with the earliest extant building's date of construction and ends with latest extant building's date of construction. All of the district's 19 properties were built during the span between these two buildings, reflecting two distinct periods of development. The buildings reflect two primary architectural styles -- Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movement: Commercial Style and the Modern Movement in architecture. The district is composed primarily of secondary commercial and light industrial buildings that are distinguished as a group by their high level of integrity.
Barnes, Oscar D. and Ida, House
901 N. Broadway AvenueWichita (Sedgwick County)
Listed in National Register Jul 7, 2015
Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: single dwelling
Architectural Style(s): Italian Renaissance
Thematic Nomination: Residential Resources of Wichita, Sedgwick County, KS, 1870-1957
The Oscar and Ida Barnes House is located in Wichita's Midtown neighborhood and was completed in 1911. It is an excellent example of the Italian Renaissance style exhibited on a foursquare, a common house form of the early 20th century that allowed for considerable variation and experimentation in style. The Italian Renaissance style was most popular in Wichita between 1900 and 1920. In residential architecture, it is typically characterized by a low, hipped roof with ceramic tiles, wide eaves with brackets, a symmetrical facade, stucco or masonry walls, and Classical columns and details. The Barnes House also exhibits the Craftsman style in its built-in cabinetry, geometric window designs, and interior floorplan. The architect is unknown, although it may have been Charles Terry, who worked with Oscar Barnes on the design of several commercial buildings. It is nominated to the National Register as part of the "Residential Resources of Wichita" multiple property nomination for its local significance in the area of architecture.
