Area Farm To Be Featured In Registry
BY SALLY SCHROEDER

MISSION HILL -- National treasures come in all shapes and sizes.
An eight-sided "polygonal" barn and a swine barn on New Hope Farm, owned by Harlan Nelsen near Mission Hill, were recently nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for their historic and physical integrity.
Nelsen said he asked about having the barns on his century-old farm listed on the Register several months ago.
"My great-grandfather, Norman Nelsen, was a meticulous record-keeper and kept the farm the same way," said Harlan Nelsen.
Nelsen is the third generation to live on the farmstead. He said the eight-sided storage barn was built for $1,325 in 1913 as his great-grandfather was establishing the farmstead. The farm was purchased by the senior Nelsen in 1901.
The storage barn is approximately 40 feet in diameter, and each side measures about16 feet wide. There is an entry point in every other side of the barn, he said.
It was built as a machine shed, but since the equipment has gotten larger with modern technology, Nelsen said he now can only store smaller equipment inside.
However, despite its size, there are other advantages to having a building like this on your property.
"These buildings are built with such better lumber than what you could ever buy today," Nelsen added.
A second building at New Hope Farm was also listed on the registry. A hog barn, which Nelsen said hasn't held hogs in many years, is unique because of its gambrel roof. The extended roof area, complete with a cupola, served as a hay loft for feeding the animals below, Nelsen said.
Nelsen said he has removed several buildings from the farm site since he retired from the military and returned to Mission Hill to farm in 1979.
According to Steve Rogers, Historic Preservation Coordinator in Pierre, it is unusual to have individual buildings nominated and not the entire farmstead.
Polygonal barns are very rare in South Dakota, Rogers said.
"Less than 40 barns of this type were ever constructed in South Dakota, and there are less than 30 remaining today," Rogers said.
"Generally, we look at the entire site and try to create an association between the community and the farm itself. But these buildings had such historic and physical integrity, there was no question they should be nominated," Rogers said.
The building needs to retain an association between the setting, materials with which it was built, the craftsmanship and how they all come together. And the buildings must be old enough to meet the general guidelines.
"Most of the historic registry contains structures which are at least 50 years old. If they aren't 50 years old, they have to have extraordinary qualities which would qualify them for another reason," Rogers said.
"Some people think being listed on the National Historic Registry restricts them from making changes to the structure, so they don't even attempt to see if would meet the criteria," Rogers said.
"The nomination is really an Å’honoriffic designation' to celebrate the historic qualities in a structure," he added.
