Guldner House
Guldner House

The Guldner House, at 1919 W. Douglas in Wichita in Sedgwick County, Kansas is a Queen Anne style house built to a design by the Radford Architectural Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.The house was built in 1910 by Benjamin Guldner, who was born on March 3, 1859, in Davenport, Iowa and moved to Rice County, Kansas at the age of 18 to help his father in a mill. One of his earlier family residencies was built in section 5 of Eureka, Kansas at a cost of two thousand dollars. He had married Henrietta Evans on May 6, 1880, with whom he had had three children, Lillie O, Maggie E, and Roscoe L. Guldner, his wife, and family moved into the house at the end of 1910 and it was occupied by Guldner's daughter Maggie until her death in November 1980.The design was Radford Design #7082 taken from page 254 of William A. Radford's publication Radford's Artistic Homes published in 1908. Radford's designs were regularly updated in their details and assigned new numbers, and the design bears a strong resemblance to Radford Design #517 on pages 156 and 157 of Radford's earlier Radford American Homes 100 House Plans published in 1903. Guldner ordered the design through Caldwell and Hoffman Lumber Dealers in 1910, with the lumber sourced from the Western Planing Mill in Wichita. He requested several variations from the Radford specification (in letters to Caldwell and Hoffman and marked on the blueprints themselves), including to the style of the front door, a widening of the hallway, and an extension to the bay, and consequent adjustment to the roof, by 3 feet (91 cm). Later owners in the 1980s were to remodel the kitchen and replace the sash windows with fixed windows.

Botanica, The Wichita Gardens

Botanica, The Wichita Gardens was opened in 1987 as a collaboration between the Wichita Area Garden Council and the City of Wichita. Originally it had four gardens and now encompasses 17.6 acres (7.12 hectares) of botanical gardens located at 701 North Amidon, Wichita, Kansas, USA. They are city-owned as part of the Wichita Park System and are operated by Botanica, Inc. a non-profit 501(c)3. The gardens include: an aquatic collection; butterfly garden and 2,880 square foot (270 m2) butterfly house featuring pansy exhibits during the winter; greenhouse for tropical plants; juniper collection with more than 30 types of junipers; peony collection of 104 cultivars; pinetum; rock garden with sedum and sempervivum; rose garden with more than 350 rose plants; sensory garden; Shakespearean garden; woodlands with azaleas, dogwoods, elm, hackberry, honey locust, mulberry, osage orange, and redbuds; and Xeriscape demonstration garden. Botanica opened the Downing Children's Garden in July 2011 and features several themed areas including the monster woods, salamander stream, granddaddy's musical maze, a rainbow and sunflower fountain and plaza. A new events center opened in 2014 which will hold 299 people in chairs or 240 at tables. The inspiration for it came from the wood-and-glass Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. “It’s not a church but it can give that feeling, particularly when you have something spiritual like a wedding. It has that ambience.” Botanica hosts more than 200 weddings a year, bringing in about 27 percent of its revenue, but it wasn't built with such rentals in mind.In May 2014, it was announced the 1949 Allan Herschell Company carousel from the former Joyland Amusement Park was donated to the Botanica and would be placed in the Downing Children's Garden.
