Highland Presbyterian Church
101 South AvenueHighland (Doniphan County)
Listed in National Register 2007-04-04
Architect: R. B. Chandler
Category: religious facility
Thematic Nomination: Historic Resources of Highland
The Highland Presbyterian Church (c. 1914) is significant as a vernacular example of the Collegiate Gothic style. The building's flat-roof design and its lack of a steeple was a radical departure for a religious building in small-town Kansas in 1914. The roots of the Highland Presbyterian Church date to 1843 and are closely tied to Highland's beginnings. The small congregation - the oldest Presbyterian church in Kansas - first met at the Sac Fox Indian Mission school building in 1845 two miles east of present-day Highland.
Iowa, Sac and Fox Presbyterian Mission
1.5 miles east of Highland on US-36Highland (Doniphan County)
Listed in National Register 1970-12-02
Architect: unknown
Category: religious facility; church school
In 1837 the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions sent Samuel M. Irvin and his wife to establish a mission among the Iowa, Sac and Fox Native American Tribes that had been pushed into Kansas. This was the first permanent white settlement in what is now Doniphan County. In 1846 a school was completed. The building was originally three stories and topped with a belfry. The first story was native stone and the two others were red brick. Three-fifths of the building was razed after it was sold in 1868. The existing part of the building is now owned and maintained by the State of Kansas. This building is significant as a physical remnant of the Presbyterian - Native American mission activities in Kansas.
Irvin Hall, Highland Community Junior College
on US-36Highland (Doniphan County)
Listed in National Register 1971-02-24
Architect: unknown
Category: college
Irvin Hall of Highland Community Junior College opened in 1859. The building was named in honor of Rev. Samuel M. Irvin, founder and missionary of the Iowa, Sac and Fox Presbyterian Mission, and a founder of the school. The Highland Presbytery operated the college until 1866 and the Presbyterian Synod took responsibility for it from 1866 to 1882 and again from 1905 to 1913. In 1920 the building became a junior college. This building is an excellent example of a vernacular interpretation of the Federal style. The building is two stories with a rectangular plan, a red brick exterior, and a gable roof. It also has pilasters located between the windows of the south front and east side, brick patterns above the windows, and includes a square wood bell tower with a flat roof at its east end. Irvin Hall is significant because of the building's architecture, and also because it is likely the oldest higher education building in Kansas and is still used for education.
