Don't look too closely at my seams and obviously I didn't get the stripe blocks oriented correctly. Shhh.
Hilger Block in downtown Pierre was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Photograph from 2006.
Hilger Block (Hilger and Hengel Clothing Company / Tony Clothing Company) was built in 1883 by J.D. Hilger for a clothing store. Over the years the upstairs offices housed mainly doctors, attorneys, and insurance agency representatives.
It was the first brick commercial building constructed in Pierre, which helped secure this area as the town's primary business district. Pierre had boomed in 1881 after the arrival of the railroad and became a chartered city in 1883. The Italianate style building has narrow windows, ornamental window hoods, and stamped metal cornice with brackets.
