Montana Club

[1] Members assembled in various locations throughout downtown Helena until 1891 when they purchased a triangular-shaped plot of land owned by Samuel Thomas Hauser to build a traditional style gentlemen’s club.

[citation needed] The entryway of the original structure was preserved in the rebuild, and became a subject of some controversy many years later on account of the counter-clockwise swastika designs embedded into mosaic tiles on the floor.

[7] In 2018, the Club reorganized as a co-operative association and opened to the public for dining, as well as private meetings, celebrations and business gatherings.

[2] On November 3, 2023, the Original Montana Club Cooperative Association filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to avert foreclosure.

[7][8] However, they closed shortly thereafter, announcing a reopening for one night only on March 29, 2024 for the purpose of selling the remaining liquor in the bar to raise funds to pay the insurance policy.
