Description
The historic post office in Gregory, South Dakota was completed in 1937 with Treasury Department funds. The building, which opened on June 12, 1937, is still in service. The contractor for the construction was S.W. Jonason of Aberdeen, South Dakota.
Unfortunately the date on the building’s cornerstone has been covered over by a callously implemented ADA ramp.
