Description

37 Sherman Street (1912-13) Armour and Company began operations in Deadwood in 1899 at this location. By 1912, business required the construction of this expanded facility, at a cost of $15,000. Three thousand people attended the opening of this building, which housed company offices and served as a cold storage meat plant. Armour served samples of their products at the grand opening. The newspaper reported that "there was no limit to the supply and few signs of a limit to the appetites of the guests." The building continued to serve as cold storage throughout most of its life, despite a brief stint as a Chinese restaurant.
