Historic District
Syndicate
Block
Built
in 1884, the Syndicate Block is the oldest Sioux Quartzite building
in the Historic District. It is Italianate in style with a
unique
pressed
metal cornice on the pediment projecting from the cornice. On the
building front is a relief of an Indian ceremonial pipe
crossed
with a bow and arrow. Symbolizing the significance of the
Pipestone quarries and the rich Native American heritage of our
area.
In 1976 the Syndicate Block was place on the National Register of
Historic Places.
