This photograph shows the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company's general office building at Ninth and Jackson Streets in Topeka, Kansas. The ten-story structure was built in two sections, the small right wing in 1910 and the larger addition in 1924. The facility housed the company's general offices for a number of years before being purchased in the 1980s by the state of Kansas for office space. On April 15, 1987, Kansas Governor Mike Hayden renamed the building to honor former governor and United States Presidential candidate Alfred M. Landon.
