The Granite County Courthouse was constructed in 1912 on the northwest corner of Block 12 of the Original Townsite, in the same location as one of Philipsburg's early schools. To replace the former school, the Granite County High School, a Neo-Classical design, was built in 1915 on the northern edge of town in the Churchill Addition.
From the 1921 History of Montana, page 118
That school is this school, for many years now disused as a school. In 1986 it was a private residence while today its use is somewhat of a mystery. It is still, to our knowledge, in private hands and appears as though the owner is attempting to turn it into a museum. Both inside the building and scattered about on the grounds are many old artefacts and pieces of vintage machinery. Our hope is that they succeed and that it become a museum as it is a stately old building that deserves the attention this would bring.
