(KNZA)--The Horton Civic Center will be considered for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

It is among 10 properties to be considered for nomination by the Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review during their quarterly meeting Saturday in Topeka.

The building, located at the Brown County Fairgrounds in Horton, was constructed by the WPA between 1937-1939.

It's currently primarily used for agricultural activities—including the Brown County Fair and Better Beef Days.

Brown County Commissioner Keith Olsen prepared the nomination application and will appear before the board.

After the nomination is reviewed by the state board, certifying recommendations and the nomination itself will be submitted to the National Park Service in Washington D.C. where it will undergo additional review. A determination is usually made public within 45 days.

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation.
