(KMZA)--A local community's school buildings are now nominated for placement on the National Register of Historic Places.
That happened during the regular quarterly meeting of the Kansas Historical Society, held this month in Topeka.
The board voted in favor of 10 nominations, including the Marysville High School and Junior High School Complex.
Located in the Marshall County community, on Walnut Street, the complex occupies 12 acres, comprised of three buildings, including the high school, the junior high and the transportation building; one structure, which is the stadium; and two objects, identified as the stone gate piers.

The stadium and playing field were constructed in 1937, near the center of the property, while the Art Deco high school was built in 1939 at the northeast corner of the property.
Both were built as part of the Works Progress Administration, active during the nation's New Deal era.
The junior high school was built, just to the west of the high school, in 1963, with the two buildings connected by a small addition in 1993.
According to the State Historical Society, the complex is nominated as part of the New Deal-era Resources of Kansas and Historic Public Schools of Kansas multiple property nominations for the local significance the complex plays in the areas of education and architecture.
The Marysville High School and Junior High School Complex will now, along with the 9 other nominations, be forwarded to Washington D.C where they will be evaluated by the professional staff of the Keeper Of the National Register of Historic Places.
If they agree that the properties are eligible, they will be listed to the National Register.
The State Society, during their recent meeting, also voted to remove two properties from the Register of Historic Kansas Places, with one located in the local area of Doniphan County.
Removed is the Dr. John S. Long Barn, in the Highland vicinity, which had been listed to the register in 1986 for historically significant architecture.
Built around 1886, the barn is removed from the listing because it was, at some unknown time, demolished.
