We like to think Allen House is pretty extraordinary too!

Some houses do not shout for attention. They wait for you to notice what makes them extraordinary. This Kansas landmark may look simple at first, but that is exactly where the intrigue begins.

We have some crafty and creative volunteers here at Allen House!

This colored pencil pendant was created by tour docent Bonnie from a set of earrings. Neither Bonnie, nor our Director of Operations, can wear these fabulous earrings, so she decided to create these necklaces so that they can each enjoy the design!

You can purchase these earrings, along with other pencil-themed gifts at our onsite gift shop, or online at shopflwrightwichita.org.
