The Cartter Building was built in 1888 for Dr. William H. Cartter, a prominent rancher, stockman and investor in Cottonwood Falls.

He was widely know for his interest in stock rasing and races horses and also had a variety of investments in local commerical activities.
The building was built to house the Smith and Cartter's grocery store. The Masons and the Odd Fellows rented the second floor as a lodge room. Over the years the building houses several different commerical activies. In 1968 it was purchased by the local school district to house the district offices.
