South Dakota architect Ward Whitwam was born today in 1923. Whitwam designed the Lewis & Clark Interpretative Center in Chamberlain, the Augustana College chapel and the Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Sioux Falls. But his most publicly-viewed works are the towering concrete tipis at South Dakota's Interstate rest stops. Whitwam's largest lodge poles are 56 feet long and weigh 6.5 tons. Whitwam wanted to show respect to the state's first residents and his proposal was accepted in 1965 as part of Lady Bird Johnson's highway beautification campaign.
