HISTORIC BUILDING

Community House

Manhattan, KS | Riley County

'Community House' is etched above the door on this three-story brick building (NRHP). Built in 1917, it was designed to provide a place for soldiers to relax and be entertained during the two World Wars.

A brochure for a self-guided driving tour that includes more historical buildings is online or available at the Riley County Historical Museum, 2309 Claflin.
