- Description:
- 1 photograph : color transparency ; 35 mm (slide format). Subjects: yankton, barbershops, slides, united states, color, south dakota Locations: united states, south dakota, yankton Notes: According to information on National Park Service website: "Built in 1908 for Northwestern Bell, this structure had additions built to the rear in 1931, 1954, and 1969. Vacated in 1972, the structure is now used by the Royal Athletic Company. Significance: architecture, communications, business. Many small towns retain their early telephone buildings, which are often pleasant and architecturally witty, small scale structures. This building was built to the scale of the mid-nineteenth century Yankton commercial buildings. It emphasizes its distinct function both through the simplicity and boldness of its design and through the use of the striking, decorative brick commonly found in foundations and industrial structures in southeastern South Dakota."
