Merriam Community Center

The original limestone building was built in 1911, and two brick additions were added in 1938 and 1951. Merriam School housed elementary and high school students until 1922, when the high school students began attending Shawnee Mission Rural High School, and the school operated on the site until 1969. From 1969 to 1972, the building was the first home of Johnson County Community College. After its sale to Kansas City Christian School, it served as that school's high school until 1985. In 1988, The City of Merriam bought the building and renovated it into the Merriam Community Center, which was dedicated to the citizens of Merriam in 1990.
