OLD ULYSSES
Located due east of the current city center, Old Ulysses as it is called now was once the original center of town and served as so until the building boom started in the 1950s. Old Ulysses is very characteristic of other similar districts in other growing or large metropolitan areas, much of the architecture from the 1920s and 30s, the buildings no longer being used as the originally were designed to, but most still in use. Old Ulysses is also home to Ulysses own community college which was founded in 1932 and has occupied the same spot since it was founded, though it has expanded some, the school purchasing nearly buildings and lots and converting them into school buildings or grounds. All in all Old Ulysses is becoming a favorite part of town for young people and is expected to become a popular community for living, as many of the old buildings are being converted into loft apartments and other types of dwellings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 CHURCH OF CHRIST
Though the Church of Christ in Old Ulysses isn’t the biggest, or most visited church in the city it is one of it’s oldest. The church is not unlike any other church in town, it’s interior filled with rows of benches and an alter at the front, also containing many offices and other rooms that are still in use.

 GIBBONS OPERA HOUSE
Originally constructed in 1928, and remodeled in 1964 Gibbons Opera House was one the most popular social establishment in Ulysses. Even now, with opera having fallen out of favor to the masses, the building continues to remain relevant and popular hosting concerts, staged plays, and other theatrical arts. Seating 824 it is on the small side compared to newer theaters, but it has charm that no modern building could posses.

 ULYSSES PUBLIC LIBRARY
Any city of a decent size has a public library for it’s residents to use. Ulysses Public Library opened in 1948 with participation from nearby Ulysses Community College. Though now technically located on the campus of the community college, UPL is still owned and operated by the city of Ulysses. The exact number of books located on the shelves is unknown, but what is known is that is you need to learn something, then this is the place to go.

 OLD KRAMER BUILDING
Located in what was originally downtown Ulysses, the Old Kramer Building as it is called today was once the manufacturing hub and main warehouse of Kramer shoes, who relocated to Seattle in 1967. Now abandoned city council has many times tried to have the building demolished, without success. Much of the building is still filled with forgotten machinery and production equipment once used by the original inhabitants, or is simply vast empty space. |
