We stopped here to take a picture because we saw two men standing on top of their car with a tripod. We thought if they were taking a picture of it, it must be something we needed a picture of too! As it turns out this building is an art gallery built by KU architecture students as part of their capstone work. This building was the first in Kansas to receive a LEED certification of platinum. LEED is a rating system for sustainable building practices, and platinum is their highest honor. I was told by the husband of the woman who runs the gallery that Greensburg has 5 buildings with this rating, making it one of the highest cities per capita for such buildings.
The two men standing on their car ended up being from Budget Travel Magazine. I gathered that they were doing a piece on the coolest places to visit in the U.S. They were really nice. You never know who you'll meet!
