Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railroad Depot
The railroad was the single most important contribution to the development in the growth of Sioux Falls. Later owned by the Rock Island Line, this B.C.R. & N.R.R. depot (c. 1886) was located at Tenth Street and First Avenue. An attractive, quartzite-faced, two-story building, it was abandoned in 1970 and later renovated into a restaurant called After Five.
In 2010 it was again renovated into a sporting goods store.
