(KNZA)--The Horton Civic Center has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
That word came Friday in an email sent to Brown County Commissioner Keith Olsen from the Kansas State Historical Society.
The Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review in February approved nomination of the building to the National Register.
Olsen, who prepared the nomination application, appeared before the board to make the pitch for the property's nomination.
The state board's recommendation and the nomination itself were sent to the National Park Service in Washington D.C for final review and determination.
The National Park Service administers the National Register.
The building, located at the Brown County Fairgrounds in Horton, was constructed by the WPA between 1937-1939.
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation.
