Next is the Midland Packing Plant. Which today is called KD Station. At one time it was the areas largest producing meat processing plant. In the buildings later years it was bought by Swift. Swift eventually closed and later the building was used for a variety of multiple retail shops, restaurant's, bars & even had a blues club in it. Because the building is in such disrepair & no longer safe for human occupancy it was closed & the businesses located in it either closed or moved. It is due to be torn down soon after an asbestos abatement can be done to it. Sioux City is currently asking for bids from company's who do that sort of work. The building was designed with Sullivanesque and Art Deco style architecture by Gardner and Linberg. It is also on the list of National Register of Historic Places.

Hunt Elementary School was built in 1906 and has a castle style design. Designed by W.W. Beach with Sullivanesque style architecture. The building needs to be remodelled or replaced. It has become too small for th student body and the inside is no longer able to meet the needs of the student population. There is currently talk about either adding onto the building or a better idea is to take the outside apart piece by piece, tear down the inside, rebuild it & put the outside pieces on the new building.
