Zip Feed

The Zip Feed Mill was established in 1937 to produce livestock feed. In the mid-1950s, a large addition was built. This structure was one of the tallest buildings in South Dakota until it was demolished in 2005 to make room for Cherapa Place. As the day came to raze the building, the dynamite was set, and when ignited, the building didn't fall to the ground as planned. Instead, it settled in the basement and tilted to the side and remained that way until it was demolished by crane and wrecking ball.
