Description
Now just a U.S. Courthouse, what was then the courthouse and post office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota was constructed in 1895, with an addition added in 1932. As for the New Deal era, federal funding supplied the building with a new elevator in 1941. Furthermore, a Nov. 1941 Argus-Leader article reported the following:
Philip Dean and Harry Johnston of the Dean Engineering and Construction company, Minneapolis, arrived here today to take care of an improvement to be made in the lobby of the Sioux Falls postoffice. The job calls for the replacing of the business windows, counters, and cabinets in the lobby service department of the postoffice.
