A historic landmark. Reborn in Downtown Rapid City.

The Historic Dean Motor Company—now to be reborn as The Dean Building—embodies a distinctive period of progress in Rapid City’s rich history.

Originally constructed in 1929 for Dean Chevrolet, the one-and-a-half story rectangular brick building rose in a section of Downtown Rapid City developed at a time of significant construction, alongside the likes of the Alex Johnson Hotel, Fairmont Creamery, and the Motor Service Company (recently reimagined as a coworking community space known as The Garage).

The introduction of the automobile brought about the development of a number of dealerships and auto repair centers east of Fifth Street. Between 1928-1929, at least six garages were under construction or expanded—all one-story commercial structures in the modern broad-front style.

Dean Motor Company was owned by Roy Dean, and sold one year after it was built to C.K. McDonald, who changed the name to McDonald Chevrolet. By 1941, the establishment was renamed Rapid Chevrolet, which remained until 1976 when they moved to a new location. It was bought by Midwest Tire and Muffler Company (TMA) in 1978, which occupied the building for the next three-plus decades.
