Topeka High School is an elaborate, gothic-style building that was one of the largest schools west of the Mississippi River when it opened in 1931. Students still attend school there today. Schools are often an important part of their community and serve as a place for people to gather. Architecture, or a building’s style, is an important part of how a place feels.
