One of Manhattan's early architects, Dr. John Walters, designed Douglass School in 1903 for "colored" children; the building is now the Douglass Center Annex. Walters is best known for his buildings on the Kansas State University campus, including Fairchild Hall and Kedzie Hall, and he was also instrumental in creating the architecture program at Kansas State Agricultural College, now K-State.
