Century II and Wichita’s old Main Library were recently nominated for spots on the National Register of Historic Places by citizens trying to save them from the wrecking ball. There are nearly 200 buildings on the register from Sedgwick, Butler and Harvey counties. Using the clues below, find the names of a dozen of them in the Word Search puzzle. Note: In most cases, only part of the name will be found in the puzzle, without spaces between words. For instance, Rock Island Depot (not one of the answers) might be listed as “ROCKISLAND.” The answers can be found going in any direction. And remember, historic structures in Butler and Harvey counties are included. Answers will appear in next month’s issue.
To enter a drawing to win a copy of “Authenti-City” by artist Bill Goffrier, send your completed puzzle to The Active Age, 125 S. West St., Wichita, KS, 67203. Or email a photo of it to joe@theactiveage.com. Entries must be postmarked or received by Sept. 9.
“Authenti-City” is a collection of Goffrier’s paintings of historic buildings and other well-known features of Wichita’s landscape.
