Corn Palace, Multi-purpose hall in Mitchell, South Dakota
The Corn Palace stands 86 feet tall with a 68-foot central dome, featuring Moorish Revival architecture with distinctive onion domes and minarets.
Built in 1892 to promote agricultural development, the Corn Palace underwent major reconstructions in 1905 and 1921, designed by Chicago architects Rapp and Rapp.
Local artists create new exterior murals each year using colored corn and grains, following a specific theme that represents regional agricultural traditions.
The facility contains 43,510 square feet of space across two floors and accommodates 3,200 people for concerts, sports events, and community gatherings.
The decoration process requires 1.5 million nails and 325,000 corn ears annually, with artists following a specialized corn-by-numbers technique on black tar paper.
