Come own a piece of Missoula history on the fifth floor of the Montana Building!
Few structures hold as much historical and cultural significance in the valley as the Montana Building. Constructed by Dixon-Cowell in 1910, it debuted as Montana’s first “fireproof” building. It was designed with reinforced concrete post-and-beam construction and steel-reinforced slab floors—innovations for the time that have contributed to its remarkable longevity.
Located at the corner of Higgins Avenue and Broadway, this iconic building sits in the heart of downtown Missoula. In 1911, President Theodore Roosevelt addressed Missoula from a second-floor corner of the building, as captured in a locally famous photograph. The Daily Missoulian described the event as attracting “the largest crowd that the Garden City’s life has known.”
Throughout its history, the Montana Building has been a focal point of commercial activity in Missoula. Over the years, it has housed a diverse array of businesses, including law offices, financial institutions, retail stores, and professional service firms.
Over the decades, the Montana Building has undergone various renovations and restoration projects to preserve its architectural integrity while adapting to the changing needs of the community. These efforts have ensured that it remains a cherished part of Missoula’s landscape.
Today, the Montana Building stands as a testament to Missoula’s rich history and continues to serve as a vibrant hub of activity in the heart of the city. Whether admired for its architectural beauty, valued for its commercial significance, or appreciated for its cultural heritage, the Montana Building remains an integral part of Missoula’s past, present, and future.
The fifth floor consists of 15 office suites of varying sizes and configurations. With an ultra-low vacancy rate and a roster of quality tenants, this floor offers some of the finest office space and views in all of downtown Missoula.
Showings by appointment only.
