One Book One Siouxland

The bus tour "Architectural Gems: Sioux City in the 20s" with Nathan Shane Kalaher, Assoc., AIA, CDT, was a huge success! The tour concluded with 35-cent hot fudge sundaes (1920s prices) at Green Gables. Thank you to all who participated! We hope you enjoyed the event.


Nathan Kalaher talks about Orpheum Theatres during the 1920s in the lobby of --where else?--the Orpheum Theatre!.	It was a full bus for the tour that began from the Orpheum, and some people took their own vehicles.

First stop: The Woodbury County Courthouse

The courthouse tour guide shared such facts as that five different kinds of marble were used in building the courthouse.	Nathan Kalaher answers a question.
