318 Norris Ave. - The Kelley Building was built in 1889 by Charles H. Meeker, civil engineer for the railroad, and by R.O. Phillips, an officer of the railroad. The railroad supplied the sandstone and reinforcing rails for its construction. The principle purpose of the building was to house the United States Land Office during the years that it was processing pre-emptions, homesteads and timber claims in the McCook area.
The land office closed in 1904 and the building was sold to John E. Kelley, who leased the land to the Post Office, which remained until 1915.
The Red Willow County Courthouse offices were located in the building during 1896 when the county seat was moved to McCook, and a new courthouse was being built on the present site.
Mr. Kelley and then his grandson, Donald E. Kelley, owned the building until 1958, when it was sold to Fred T. Hanson and Helen E. Hanson and since 1990 it has been owned by their son, John F. Hanson. In 1956, Don Kelley remodeled the front of the building as well as the first floor.
