Historical buildings happen to be the part of a country or county’s proud heritage and expresses the sound basis of the culture and the region to the outsiders in the best manner. What should be done hence? The buildings should be conserved in the best possible way. If the reverse takes place and the building becomes decrepit and declines gradually, the loss will be enormous. It must be said that almost all government and citizens throughout the world are conscious of this aspect and the residents of Girard is no exception.
Girard is a city in Crawford Township, Crawford County, Kansas, United States and is located on a gently undulating prairie at the center of the county.
Well, the Historic Sites Board of Review has also acknowledged this trait and mentioned it specifically during its recent quarterly meeting at the Kansas Historical Society in Topeka. Now some people are stating that the recent significant approach of the Board was a mark of respect to this attribute. Whatever it is, it can’t be denied that the Board did a wonderful job by nominating 4 historic buildings in the region.
How did this happen? Well, the Board became instrumental in forwarding nominations of four historic Girard buildings to the office of the keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C. The next step depends on the evaluation of the professional staff and the buildings will be included in the National Register, if they get approved. Can there be an exception in this regard?
Speaking on this Terri Harley, president of Friends of Historic Girard stated, “It’s not an automatic rubber stamp that nominated buildings will be approved for the National Register.” “But, generally, if they are approved by the state board, they are accepted.”
Which are these four buildings? They include S-W Supply Company, 215 E. Prairie; State Bank of Girard, 105 E. Prairie; St. John’s Episcopal Church, southeast corner of Buffalo and Summit Streets and Crawford County Courthouse, 111 E. Forest. Girard. Each one has glorious past along with brilliant building.
