With a pair of Oriel windows on the face of the second floor below the pressed metal cornice, this building is unique in the district. Its Victorian heritage is exemplified by the Oriel windows and Italianate styling of the heavy brackets under the cornice. Together, these elements make the otherwise pedestrian building a standout on the block. Built in 1902 and modified somewhat in 1906, the design of the building was the brainchild of Butte architect W.T. Perham.
A.H. DAVIS JEWELRY STORE
This distinctive two-story brick building designed by W. H. Perham of Butte enlivens the district’s architectural landscape. Red Lodge jeweler Allen H. Davis opened his well-equipped new shop here in the original one-story building in 1902. Expansion in 1906 added the second floor with its false-front, sheet metal cornice and wood-paneled oriel windows. The lovely bays, through common in vernacular western architecture, are the town’s only example of this detail. The tin ceiling that graced the interior of Davis’ shop remains today.
