One of the early auto dealerships in Philipsburg, selling Overland cars, occupied this building, which was built in 1918. At the same time it was a hotel, offices and a garage. Now it is a museum, information centre and community centre. Eclectic!

Brothers Morris and Humphrey Courtney built this multi-purpose building in 1918 with profits from manganese mining acquired during World War I. The building speaks to the coming of the automobile as the basement housed the Granite County Garage and the first floor was a dealership and showroom for Overland automobiles. The wide door in the center made the interior showroom accessible. The upper two floors accommodated offices and hotel rooms, often occupied by schoolteachers.
