The Jeremiah Platt House in Manhattan, Kansas was built in 1871 and added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Jeremiah Everts Platt (1833-1899), a Connecticut native, was an early professor at Kansas State Agricultural College, employed at the college in 1864. Platt served as the first head of the preparatory department and professor of vocal music; he later taught mathematics and English. Although conferred with an honorary A.M. in 1872 by the college's board of regents, his outspoken support for prohibition led the regents to demand his resignation in 1889.
