This is the third in a series of homes that exist within the Campbell Park Histori District in Huron.
HURON — The 23-room turn-of-the-century mansion at 592 Dakota South was built in 1910 by Claude and Marian Dickinson. Since 1990 this classic American two-story house has been owned and occupied by Ron and Tara Volesky and their four children Tyler, Turner, Tucker and Taylor, along with the family’s 16-year-old black lab Riggs.
The majestic entry pediment is supported by Doric six-sided columns, which add much to the beauty of the frontal exterior. A stained glass door with Asian motifs adorn the impressive front entrance along with unique terrazzo flooring on the front porch landing.
The Volesky family home features seven bedrooms and four baths, including a Jacuzzi in the master suite.
Beautiful hardwood floors, oriental carpeting and tile floors are featured throughout this 108-year-old home. Beveled glass doors open into a library-den on the first floor, which houses much of Mr. Volesky’s personal library and features many interesting and unique items of political memorabilia from Mr. Volesky’s political and legal career. It was in this house in the fall of 2001 that Mr. Volesky announced his bid for office of Governor of South Dakota.
In the large living room that runs the width of the house from north-to-south includes a fireplace on the south end, while the ceiling is highlighted by redwood cedar beams.
Granite counter tops and surfaces are featured in the kitchen and other areas of the house. The house is adorned throughout with rare and exquisite antiques, original art work, chandeliers, oak furnishing and a large collection of Native American collectibles.
A large screened-in ivy covered back porch is located on the east side of the house, making it a perfect gathering place for family and friends and outdoor grilling.
