Once home to a prominent businessman, the Gaylord Sumner House is known for its unique architecture and classic charm. Renovations done in the late 1800s turned the single-story home into a two-story structure. Gaylord Sumner, the home's original owner, came to South Dakota from New York in 1890, and he eventually organized the Stockgrowers Bank and ran the Stanley County Abstract Company.

Sumner and his wife, Ida Ricketts, occupied this home up until his death in 1967. The home is still a private residence so it is not open for visitors.

Address: 509 Second St., Fort Pierre, SD 57532
