C.T. Huffman Grocery
Build circa 1887, Lutey’s Grocery and the Barrett and Jacky Harness Shop originally shared occupancy of this one-story commercial building. By the 1890s, Valentine Jacky shared the building with C. T. Huffman, who supplied groceries to Philipsburg and the nearby town of Granite. C. T. and A. S. Huffman eventually expanded their store into both sides of the building. Operated by A. S. Huffman’s sons until the 1970s, the business was the state’s oldest family-owned grocery. Meticulous reconstruction of the 1890s façade and restoration of the tin-ceilinged interior was completed in 1992-1993 by owner Dale Siegford and woodwright Barry Carnahan.

Describe the area and history:
...the 1970s, by then run by the sons of A.S. This 80 plus year tenure made it the oldest family-owned grocery store in Montana. That's a pretty good run by many standards. Today this building with the full glass front is a jewellery store and has been restored to within an inch of its life. It is on the north side of Broadway, four buildings east of Sansome Street.
