Listed in National Register 2008-01-31

Architect: Sutton, Charles E.
Category: residential district
Thematic Nomination: Historic Resources of Lawrence (2001)

Extending an early twentieth century trend of southern and western residential expansion in Lawrence, Charles E. Sutton developed the Breezedale Addition and the streetcar route at the southern end of Massachusetts Street. In an unsual venture for Lawrence, he built five homes with similar architectural character in 1909 and 1910. This was the first attempt in Larwerence to create an identifiable surburban neighborhood. The district includes fourteen contributing and five non-contributing resources. It was nominated as part of the "Historic Resources of Lawrence" multiple property nomination for its association with local development and its early twentieth century architecture.

Chewning House

1510 Stratford Rd.
Lawrence (Douglas County)
Listed in National Register 2019-03-07

Architect: George Beal
Category: domestic; single dwelling

The Chewning House is located at 1510 Stratford Road in the West Hills neighborhood just west of the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. It was built in 1936 and designed by George M. Beal, chair of the University of Kansas Architecture program. The house is one of the 1,000 houses built in the United States as part of the General Electric “New American Home” program, which involved General Electric and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The program was started to stimulate the economy and put people to work during the Great Depression and aimed to utilize local financiers, builders and suppliers. It is the only known GE “New American Home” in the immediate vicinity of Lawrence and one of the earliest examples of the Modern movement in residential architecture in Lawrence. It is being nominated under the Historic Resources of Lawrence Multiple Property Documentation Form. It predates the “Lawrence Modern, 1945-1975” MPS amendment, but fits into the context as being modern in design and is also associated with the Federal Housing Administration.

Thematic Nomination: Historic Public Schools of Kansas

Clearfield School, built in 1900, is located northeast of Baldwin City in Palmyra Township on a half-acre site that includes three contributing buildings (the school and two outhouses) and one non-contributing building (a shed). This school building was at least the second schoolhouse to serve district 58 students, and was originally built in a location one mile east, but it was moved to its current location in 1908. The school closed in 1946, but it continued to serve as a meeting house for the Clearfield Grange until the 1990s. At the time of nomination, the Clearfield Historical Society maintains the building. This vernacular one-room schoolhouse exhibits Queen Anne and Stick stylistic references including a triangular panel in the front gable, ornamental windows with a band of several square panes encircling a larger clear pane, a shed roof supported by ornamental brackets over each entrance, and fishscale shingle siding in the front gable. It was nominated as part of the "Historic Public Schools of Kansas" multiple property nomination for its local significance in the areas of education and architecture.
