The Railroad Camp Shanty in De Smet, South Dakota, United States, was built by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway (C&NW) in 1878 to shelter railroad personnel. The Railroad Shanty is a simple frame building measuring roughly 10' by 22' and covered with horizontal siding. Presumably in the 1880's or early 1890's the building was moved three blocks from its original location and was placed on a cement block foundation. Read more on Wikipedia
