Fort Scott Lake Cultural Resource Study. Part 2. Historical and Architectural Field Survey of a Portion of Fort Scott Lake Project, Bourbon County, Kansas
An architectural and historical survey of selected sites in the proposed Fort Scott Lake project area was conducted in the fall of 1981. A project area history was compiled that showed the development of this rural area through time to be typical of the Eastern margin of the Plains with two exceptions: The rural economy of this area at the turn of the century was closely tied to the flagstone quarrying industry, and agricultural production in the early decades of the twentieth century was diversified when a condensary located in Fort Scott stimulated the development of the dairying industry in its immediate locality. Several sites in the project area illustrate the impact of the flagstone industry on the evolution of the landscape. Little architectural evidence remains from the earliest settlement landscape. The existing landscape may be characterized as adaptive reuse of housing stock and selective preservation of late 19th and early 20th century agricultural outbuildings. Six sites in the project area are considered potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places on the basis of their architectural features or historical importance. (EDC)
