The Rapid City Historical Museum was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Photographs from nomination.
At the east end of Halley Park, the museum is a Rustic Style limestone masonry building with two stone chimneys, a flagstone terrace, slate floors inside, and exposed rafter ends, ridge pieces, and purlins.
Sioux Indian Museum was originally constructed by the Works Progress Administration in 1937-1938 (Project No. 1112) from a design by architect Waldo J.W. Winter, with an added 1957 wing designed by James Ewing. Limestone blocks for the addition came from the former Lincoln School, which had recently been demolished. Local contractor Peter D. Capa supervised construction.
The initial room arrangement comprised a central reception area, a large exhibition room on the north and a smaller exhibition room and a curator's living quarters on the south. The first resident curator was John A. Anderson, who had lived on the Rosebud Reservation for forty-two years as a trader. His extensive collection of Native artifacts became the basis for the Sioux Indian Museum.
At the time of nomination, the Minnelusa Pioneer Museum, operated by the Minnelusa Historical Association, occupied the west wing, and the Sioux Indian Museum, administered by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board of the U. S. Department of the Interior, occupied the rest of the building. The building was later rehabilitated for the offices of Rapid City Parks and Recreation.
