Description
Looking south at Central Police Station, 109 East William Street. This building was the object of emergency relief funds and labor during the New Deal era of the Great Depression. In 1933 Wichita received funds to convert the structure, which had been the Central Fire Station, into a "modern police station." The building was remodeled and received a new Art Deco architectural style (compare to item wschm_N1-6.1.1 in this database). The Wichita City Hall, known as the City Building, is at right.
