Topeka plan for city hall site near Kansas Avenue
The grounds along Kansas Avenue from Eleventh to Twelfth streets rise two to several feet above surrounding streets and slope toward Twelfth and Kansas. A city hall with an auditorium would sit on the north front, housing offices and avoiding unwanted features like market stalls or fire equipment. The author argues for a modern, refined municipal complex with parks, better air circulation, and public gatherings, criticizing current lack of recreation spaces.
