The Castle at 1307 Massachusetts St. Features a Limestone Exterior
Castle Tea Room Built in 1894 By Civil War Gen. John Roberts
Kansan Staff Writer
By EARLYNNDA MEYER
Lawrence has its very own bit of medieval grandeur in the Castle Tee Room at 1307
Civil War Gen. John Roberts built the castle in 1894. The current owner, Libuze Kirz, purchased the Castle in 1947. It has also been owned by J. J. Simmons and the Assembly of God Congregation, who at one time had plans to convert it into a museum, the government owned the house under the FHA for approximately 10 years.
THE EXTERIOR of the Castle is made of cottonwood limestone. The interior has 15 rooms, with five fireplaces finished in various colors of marble and brick. The kitchen has two ovens, wood including birch, cherry, oak, walnut, sycamore and pine. Wood carvings by English manidrey Sidney Endacott portray winged cherubs, grapevines with bunches of fruit and angels blowing trumpets. Two of his brothers were Lawrence residents.
Kirz originally was a dietitian from Cook County Hospital in Chicago. While employed at the Kansas Union, she acquired the Castle.
The original dining room features a built-in sideboard and china cloet. The mantel, designed to resemble a church altar, has a glass window above the glazed glass windows above the fireplace.
There is a ballroom on the third floor and what was once a secret staircase leads to it from the second floor. There are also two ormately carved staircases, one in front and one in the back of the house, each leading to the upper levels.
THE TOWER room is a roof garden, which in formation shades by awaition the outdoor functions.
The Tea Room once occupied all three floors of the castle, but because of a decline in business the restaurant area has gradually been reduced. Only the first floor of the restaurant facility, with the upper two floors used by Kitz for living quarters.
From five to seven University students are employed part-time at the restaurant. Kirz said that young employees helped to draw the University crowd.
The new KU football schedule, with starting time now 1:30 p.m. for all home games, has played a part in the decline of the restaurant's business.
Previously, large groups of up to 30 passengers stopped in for meals prior to and subsequent to the football games. The new schedule conflicts with serving hours.
KIRZ HAS HAD at least two opportunities to sell the Castle. In both cases, the amount of money offered to her was approximately $50,000. Both prospective buyers intended to destroy the house. Kirz said she was not ready to sell yet, but indicated that a home
such as the Castle requires a monumental amount of upkeep and constant refur-
"It's beginning to be difficult," she said. Kirz said that she tried to keep her food properly stored.
"I look at the prices now, and I try to remember just how much I could afford
A FEW YEARS ago, Kirk traveled to San Diego to meet Sabel Roberts, the only child of Gen. Roberts, builder of the Castle. Although 92 years old at the time, the General's daughter, twin married in the house, was able to provide background information on her life. Kirk learned how the various rooms had been used and how they had been decorated.
Gen. Roberts is said to have been a man of great wealth, his income coming from the manufacture of containers for storing butter and hard. The grandfather served in the Revolutionary War. The General served in the Civil War. He was elected a member of the Kansas legislature.
The Roberts family left Lawrence for San Diego following the death of Isabel's second husband, two years after their wedding in the Castle.

Promoters Tarnish Smokey
WASHINGTON--Smokey the Bear not only doesn't smoke, but he doesn't drink, take drugs, tell dirty jobs or run around in crowded women. That is he hadn't, until recently.
Nobody's accusing him of playing with fire now. But Rudolph Wendelin, the U.S. Forest Service's "caretaker of the Smokey image," retired last month and since no replacement to be named, Smokey seems to be more or less on the honor system.
Bv JUDITH MARTIN
The Washington Post
Wendelin is aware of the temptations that can beset a well-meaning bear in rolled-up blue jeans who spends a good part of his life praying that God will “please, make people believe that God will”
ONLY RECENTLY, Smokey had to be rescued from the following entanglements:
- Appearing drunk on the front of a swain shirt and suggesting, "Preserve wildlife."
--Moonlighting as an endorser of two firearm companies, a store and a furnace manufacturer.
-HUSTLING DRINKS at a bar called the Fire House, by leering out of the napkins and saying, "Put out the fire! Try a Smoky bear cocktail. (You may keep the mug.)"
—Being serenaded with a song called
"Smoke, You're a Hokie Kind of Bear."
All of these were considered violations of the Smokey Bear Act, a 1952 law in which the Forest Service was given the power to license commercial Smokey items—a lucrative business in小说, T-shirts, songs, comic books, ash trays and other novelties, which earn about $200,000 in royalties for the fire prevention program.
Wendelin's standards are that such enterprises must be in keeping with Smokey's image as a mature, friendly, straight beauty. He will stick and stick to his business of prepreting ties.
"When the fire problem is under control, there will be plenty of time for him to branch out into the wider matters of conservation and ecology." he said.
THE TWO MET in 1945, when Smokey was a wild young cub just beginning his career with the Forest Service and Wendell was resuming his, after a Navy stint. Smokey was the creation of a California tree service, charged with the job of replacing Bambi, who had been on a one-year loan to the Forest Service from Walt Disney.
Wendelin decided that his new charge needed shaping up. Between 1945 and 1948, he "matured" Smokey from a fat, clammy pawed cub in baggy panties, into the slightly muscular version now, with his neatly pressed jeans and capable looking fingers instead of paws.
Together, he and Smokey weathered their biggest crisis last year, when Smokey was being denounced as an enemy of the "natural" use of fire under controlled conditions for clearing underbrush. Smokey said he was just against uncontrolled fires
University Daily Kansan
WENDELN, WHO says he will continue his interest in Smoke's career, although he wants to devote more time to his other occupations (his card lists 28, from calligrapher to lithographer to city planner), than that "Smoke will always be in business."
For one thing, there still a Smokey Bear Department in the Forest Service, putting out posters and taking in royalties; and 400 Smokey the Bear costumes (Wendelin and his wife made the first) in which warm forest rangers make public appearances.
There's still a Smokey the Bear at the National Zoo in Washington—a cub rescued from a forest fire in 1950—even though he has never quite hit it off with his wife, Goldie, and they had to adopt another Smokey to serve as an "understudy."
Annual Bazaar Will Be Held Here July 19
Co-chairman for the event are Ed Kidtz and Dale Kearney, both downtown businessmen and members of the chamber. According to Kearney, the bazaar will be on the highlights of the downtown area, as well as in several shopping centers around Lawrence.
Kearney said the bazaar would feature "just plain old good values of close-out, end-of-season summer lines." The Gaslight in the Kearney parking lot during the bazaar, Kearney said.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has released plans for the 14th annual "Sidewalk Bazaar" to be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 19.
Booths will be offered to any organization(s) interested in selling baked goods, handicrafts or refreshments. Kearney said that anyone interested in signing up for a booth should contact him at 842-0071.
KLWN radio station will be conducting a 'surfer promotion' during the activities. Jim Chabin of KLWN will skateboard up and down Massachusetts St., collecting donations for the United Fund. KLWN also runs the Malls and Hillcrest, shopping centers.
Kearney said that this was the biggest downtown event of the year and urged everyone to come.
