One of the larger blocks on Main Street, the Kleinschmidt Block, strangely, is one of the very few older buildings in the downtown core which does not contribute to the Deer Lodge Central Business Historic District. Though it has undergone some exterior remodeling, it retains much of its original architectural detail and 1880s appearance.
Originally built as a mercantile store, the building has continued in use to this day. It has retained some nice architectural touches, such as a decorative parapet, an ornate metal cornice with decorative brackets and some really nice decorative keystones above the upper windows, possibly terra cotta.
