1930:
North High School, 1437 N. Rochester. Wichita's
second city high school (after East, built in 1924), North
was designed by architect Glen H. Thomas and finished with
Native American-themed sculptural elements by Wichita artist
Bruce Moore. The neighboring Minisa Bridge (over the Little
Arkansas River) shares the motif. The building has been
annexed and expanded numerous times over the years, always
keeping the new structures in line with the original design
cues.
