The Prowers County Welfare Housing complex was probably used for less than a decade, although its exact dates of occupation are unknown. In the 1960s it became part of the Prowers County Department of Social Services, and it was later used by Head Start, the Junior Chamber, and a day care center. In 1994 it was leased to a local bus manufacturing company called Neoplan, which reconfigured unit 2 as temporary worker housing. After Neoplan shut down in 2006, the complex stood vacant.
