Additional Details:
THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE BISONTE is of the Elizabethan period, the construction being like an old English manor house, with tiled floors and wooden rafters. Bisonte is the Spanish word for buffalo; this country was covered with roaming herds of buffalo not very many years ago. This section is now one of the most important agricultural areas in the Union, but it is for the Salt Industry that Hutchinson is famous. Enormous deposits of rock salt underlie the whole section. The city lies at an altitude of 1541 feet and the population is about 12,000.
