Doncram's notes

Temporary note: Perhaps move Washington-Ames House to "Museum of the Great Plains (Leoti, Kansas)" and merge that and this, there?

It was deemed to be significant as a WPA Moderne project of the Works Progress Administration?

Secondary sources

None of the sources were the actual website of the museum. The NRHP and others are secondary sources. That said, it would be good to have more and better sources. Regardless, I'm removing the warning for now. dm (talk) 16:31, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
