Abstract

This collection documents the life and professional work of architect Frank Charles William Kuehn (1884–1970), whose career was centered in Huron, South Dakota. Materials date from 1883 to 1970 and include architectural drawings, blueprints, specifications, maps, photographs, and related printed and ephemera materials. The records reflect Kuehn’s extensive architectural practice, particularly his work designing schools, churches, municipal buildings, commercial structures, and residences throughout South Dakota and neighboring states. Also represented are his Standard Rural School Plans, long association with the South Dakota Department of Public Instruction, and his later county and highway map publishing business serving South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. Together, the collection provides detailed documentation of architectural design, construction practices, and community development in the northern Plains during the early to mid-twentieth century.
