Description
Lost Butte, Montana explores the city's history through its architectural heritage, from the stately Queen Anne mansions to the hastily constructed shanties. This book delves into the stories of notable structures such as the Grand Opera House and the Columbia Gardens.
The city's buildings hold secrets about the boom and bust of Butte, a mining metropolis that was once part of the largest National Historic Landmark District. Historian Richard Gibson recounts the rise and fall of this former mining town through its architectural legacy.
