The defunct website Emporis said the building is from 1965. The Shawnee County government's real estate search website says the building is from 1980. Online, I have been unable to find any other sources that would corroborate or refute either date. It kind of looks more like 1965, but 1980 is not implausible, right?

The office tower was built by the Security Benefit Life Insurance Company as an addition to its headquarters at the left. It was sold to the State of Kansas in 1999, per many news articles in the Topeka Capital-Journal, which I viewed online in a university library database. As best as I can tell, none of the articles say anything about when the tower was built.

I guess we'll never find out when it was built! The building will probably be demolished before long, so maybe it doesn't matter much.

DOESN'T IT!! Maybe it's the windows. But the Kansas Historic Resources Inventory said in 2015 that the building "retains [the] integrity" of its original 1950s design. Okay!
