Stonehaven Farm is a 20-acre remnant of a much larger orchard operated by the father and daughter team of Frederick Wellhouse and Cora Wellhouse Bullard. The extant resources date to as early as 1898 when the foundation for the Shingle style residence began to its construction. Designed and partially built by Cora herself, the 6,000 sq.ft. house was completed in 1903. Like her father, Cora was an influential person in county and state politics, agriculture, and social issues. Stonehaven Farm is significant for its association with Cora Wellhouse Bullard and as an excellent example of the American Shingle style, with Craftsman influences, in Kansas. The farm's period of significance spans from 1898 to 1926, capturing the construction of the house and its occupation by Cora Wellhouse Bullard.

Sumner Elementary School

1501 5th Avenue
Leavenworth (Leavenworth County)
Listed in National Register Aug 4, 2011

Architect: Smith, Charles A.
Area of Significance: vacant/not in use; school
Architectural Style(s): Commercial Style
Thematic Nomination: Historic Public Schools of Kansas

Leavenworth's Sumner Elementary School is located in a traditionally African American neighborhood surrounded by single-family residences and churches. The school was one of two elementary schools built to serve the community's black students in the 19th century. Lincoln School served students living in North Leavenworth; Sumner served the students living in South Leavenworth. The first Sumner School was constructed on this site in 1866. By 1915, the original building was unable to meet the needs of its 185 students. Architect Charles Ashley Smith was hired to design the two-story brick Commercial-style building, which was completed in 1925 under the direction of longtime principal and educational leader Blanch K. Bruce. The school continued to serve South Leavenworth's African American community for more than three decades, until Leavenworth schools were desegregated following the Brown v. Board case. It closed after the 1968-69 school year. For decades following its closure, the school district used the building as a maintenance facility. The Pentecostal Church of the Apostolic Faith purchased the building in 2000 for use as a church activity center. It is nominated as part of the "Historic Public Schools of Kansas" multiple property nomination for its statewide significance in the areas of education and architecture and for its association with Bruce.

Architectural Style(s): Colonial Revival; Queen Anne

The Western Branch is the fifth in a series of 11 branch institutions established between 1867 and 1929 and has continuously provided residential and medical care for veterans since 1886. It embodies the comprehensive federal policies and concepts of health care and rehabilitative care provided in a planned community as they originated after the Civil War and evolved into the first half of the 20th century. The property consists of a medical complex of residential, hospital, and support buildings, the Leavenworth National Cemetery, and a park-like historic landscape with rolling hills, a man-made lake, and curing roads. The historic buildings were constructed between 1885 and the 1940s and largely reflect the popular revival styles of the Victorian era.

William Small Memorial Home for Aged Women

711 North Broadway Street
Leavenworth (Leavenworth County)
Listed in National Register Sep 23, 2020

Architect: William P. Feth
Area of Significance: domestic; multiple dwelling
Architectural Style(s): Classical Revival; Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals

Constructed between 1903 and 1904, the Small Home provided a communal dwelling space for elderly single women until 1974. The brick building on North Broadway was the third building used by the Old Ladies’ Rest organization, a charitable organization who ran the Small Home as an alternative to the county poorhouse. This building was purpose-built for the organization, is the largest of the three buildings, and is the only one still standing. The William Small Memorial Home filled a need within the city of Leavenworth by providing affordable housing for women over sixty years of age. The construction of the building was privately financed by Zephy Small, widow of prominent Leavenworth businessman, William Small; the organization and its mission were financed almost entirely by private donations and by the estates of the women who resided at the Small Home. Although medical care was available, the Small Home was not considered a nursing facility. The period of significance spans the seventy years the building functioned as the Small Home, 1904 to 1974.
