Dell Rapids Residential Historic District, Carnegie Library

            The Dell Rapids Residential Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.  Photographs from nomination, 1999.

The Dell Rapids Residential Historic District included fifty-nine contributing historic buildings significant for its architecture for the period 1880-1920.  The district is primarily single-family houses, as well as the Dell Rapids Carnegie Library, built in 1910 through the efforts of the local women's club from a design by B.J. Sweatt.  Houses range in style from Folk Victorian to Colonial Revival to Craftsman designs.

A notable feature of the district is the use of quartzite as a building material. Sioux quartzite was quarried locally, resulting in a cheap local building material. Within the district, the quartzite was used as curbing, for building retaining walls, to construct foundations and also on entire buildings such as the library.
