Area of Significance: vacant/not in use; school

Thematic Nomination: Historic Public Schools of Kansas
Kellogg Elementary School is located in Hunter's Third Addition to the City of Wichita, a one-block addition stretching from Kellogg Avenue on the south, Hunter Avenue (now Lewis Street) on the north, Laura Street on the west, and Pattie Street on the east.

It was not until the 1910s and 1920s that the neighborhood surrounding Kellogg School was fully developed with small bungalows and cottages surrounding the school. By 1935, overflowing classrooms necessitated temporary classroom buildings northeast of the main building. The school district hired local architects Overend and Boucher to design the new Kellogg School, and Dondlinger and Sons Construction Company was awarded the contract with a successful bid of $113,980. Construction of the Art Moderne school was completed just in time for the opening day of school on September 8, 1941. The school was closed in 1996.

Listed in State Register Aug 12, 2013
Architect: Unknown
Area of Significance: specialty store

The Lahn Building was built in 1922 east of downtown on East Douglas Avenue and illustrates the commercial development that occurred throughout the Wichita following the expansion of the city limits in 1919.

This modest commercial building interprets the story of resourceful Latvian Jewish immigrants who came to Wichita in 1905 to escape Russian persecution and to pursue the American dream. Eli Lahn, in partnership with his son-in-law David Krashin, erected the building as an investment, a venture that would help support the Lahn family for 77 years. The two-story building was designed to maximize income-producing potential, with three retail spaces on the ground floor and six apartments on the upper floor. The building has housed numerous small commercial businesses during its more than ninety-year history. It was nominated for its local significance in the area of commerce.

Lorenzo D. Lewelling and his family lived in this Wichita house during his brief tenure as the Governor of Kansas. He was nominated by the Populist party of Kansas to run for governor in 1892.

Disputes between the Republicans and Populists about leadership in the House went all the way to the Kansas Supreme Court. Although eventually resolved in favor of the Republicans, the dispute marred Lewelling's tenure as governor, and he was not reelected in 1894. He served in the State Senate in 1896 and was later appointed to the Board of Railroad Commissioners in 1897. This two-and-a-half-story, wood-frame house features a foursquare form with a mix of Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and Shingle styles. It was nominated to the National Register for its association with Lewelling and its late nineteenth-century architecture.
