Conrad Mansion Museum

Kalispell, MT

History

A 26-room Norman-style mansion from 1895, built for Kalispell founder Charles Conrad and kept with its original furnishings. Guided tours run from spring to autumn; the museum is a few blocks east of Main Street.

The Conrad Mansion Museum is a historic mansion in downtown Kalispell, Montana (313 6th Avenue East). Charles E. Conrad, a freighter and trader from Fort Benton and the founder of Kalispell in 1892, had it built between 1892 and 1895. The architect was Kirtland K. Cutter of Spokane. The style is described as a Victorian Shingle Style house modeled on Norman farmhouses.

Conrad died in 1902. His youngest daughter Alicia lived in the house for most of her life and worked to preserve the building and collection. In 1974 she gave the property to the city of Kalispell. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. The grounds cover about 2.7 acres (1.1 hectares).
