138 Years and Counting: A History of 2-4 East Main Street

Schlenker, Evelyn

This is a history of the National Register-listed 2-4 E Main Street building in Vermillion, South Dakota. It includes contextual history, photographs, and maps. From the Background section: "This book focuses on changes in external and internal architectural characteristics — and major building owners over time — to the large two-story brick building(s) occupying 2 and 4 East Main Street from initial construction in 1884 to its current state, which is now known as McVicker Plaza. The appendix includes the businesses that utilized the two buildings that were combined into one structure. Since the fall of 2018, McVicker Plaza has housed the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company (VCDC) offices, an entrepreneurial collaborative co-working space, meeting rooms, and Charlie’s, a retail store selling University of South Dakota-branded clothing and accessories." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the South Dakota State Historical Society, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P21AF10630).
