1204 Mt Rushmore Rd, Rapid City, SD 57701

Property Description

Listed by Seth Malott with CENTURY 21 ClearView Realty, (605) 545-2609. Built in 1883 as one of only two brick homes in a young Rapid City, 1204 Mt Rushmore Road carries a rare and storied past: its brick walls were raised by pioneer contractor and brickmaker Louis Volin using material from his own Black Hills brickyard for original owner Eli Fenstermaker, then passed through the hands of banker and two-term Rapid City mayor James Halley and prominent cattle baron Maurice Keliher before returning full circle to Volin himself in 1907. That history has been matched by a thoughtful modern transformation, with the original stone foundation and layered brick construction preserved while major systems have been methodically updated over the years, including a complete electrical rewire and plumbing update around 2000, a roof replacement in approximately 2017, and an all-new HVAC system in 2024, alongside hardwood floors, custom trim, updated bathrooms, and a granite countertop kitchenette added throughout. The building offers 1,440 total square feet, including 1,056 square feet of main-level office and meeting space, plus a versatile upstairs area with its own full bath, natural gas forced-air heat, central cooling, and a partial basement. Zoned Office Commercial and situated on a high-visibility stretch of Mt Rushmore Road with an estimated 23,576 vehicles passing daily, the property offers some off-street parking. Historic due to its age and significance but not currently listed on the National Register or within the local historic district, this is a rare chance to own a genuine piece of Rapid City's founding history with major systems already updated and ready for today's business needs.
