Smith Center, the seat of Smith County in north central Kansas, has a rich architectural history reaching back more than 125 years.  First settled in 1871, the city has several incredible structures for visitors to see, including an 1880s windmill, a wonderful 1889 Richardsonian Romanesque bank building, a beautiful early 20th century stone church, and an ornately decorated 1930 Art Deco bank building. If you are in the area, come and see these historical structures in person.
