Contents

It is a two-story Dutch Colonial-style house, with three dormers above its front porch, built on a somewhat terraced corner lot. [2]

It was home of Robert S. Vessey, who became governor of the state. The house was deemed significant in architecture and government: "Architecturally its Swedish-Dutch Colonial appearance makes it one of the better examples of every twentieth century architecture in Wessington Springs. Politically the structure is important for it housed Vessey when he was elected governor in 1908." [2]

Notes

  1. The NRHP nomination for the Vessey house gives its address as "118 College Avenue". However, in the 2017 photo above, the house number "109" is visible on the right side of the doorframe. The 109 number is visible also in Google Street view image captured in 2013, viewed in 2018. The address listed on the NRHP in 1977 was in error or a renumbering has since occurred.
