Description: Photograph of the Werby Building at the southeast corner of 39th and Main Streets in 1979.

Efforts to save the building from demolition led to Mayor Richard Berkley named a week in April 1979 "Werby Week," but it was razed not long after. Signs on plywood boards across the storefronts advertise a "Take Back the Night" event, an anti-nuclear energy rally to take place in Burlington, Kansas, at the Wolf Creek Generating Station, and upcoming concerts.
