In 1890 the Kirby family built a home at the corner of Center Street and Blue Star Highway. They rented it out to tourists in the 1920s and from 1932 to 1960 it served as a hospital. Then it was used for different purposes until it became a bed & breakfast in 1987. Since 2014 has been a boutique hotel. (Source: The Kirby House / Image: SDHS Archives)

In 2008, SDHC volunteer Howard Vanderbeck scanned 900 death certificates that were issued at the hospital between 1932 and 1960.
