Jayhawk State Theatre ~ Topeka, KS. - a photo on Flickriver

JAYHAWK COMPLEX IN THE BACKGROUND: THEATRE AND HOTEL
n 1926, the Jayhawk Theatre opened as a movie and vaudeville palace. But after fifty years of showing films, the Jayhawk Theatre closed in 1976 and appeared to be gone for good. The Hotel Jayhawk, part of the entire complex, also closed shortly after the theater and was converted into the Jayhawk Tower office complex in 1982.

The Jayhawk Theatre was closed off from the office building and sat dormant for over a decade. In 1992, amid movements to demolish the theater and the entire building, preservationists sought a solution to block the planned destruction.

After forming a strong coalition in the private sector to save the Jayhawk, the Kansas State Legislature designated the Jayhawk as the official State Theatre of Kansas in 1993. Since that time, the theater has been undergoing renovations in preparations for its rebirth as a performing arts venue for Topeka.

The Jayhawk Theatre was added to the National Register
