About this property

The J. W. Reedy House, located at 309 N. 2nd in Beresford, South Dakota, was built in about 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It was deemed notable for its association with J.W. Reedy, an auctioneer of land throughout 35 U.S. states and Canada. It was one of the largest houses in Beresford. It is a frame two-and-a-half-story building with two brick chimneys and three dormers. It has a one-story kitchen ell. Plans in 1984 were to convert the house into three apartments.
