Built in 1888 to house a men’s social club and saloon, The Headquarters Building was advertised as “An Ornament to the Street.” Over the years, this building and its partner to the west, the Daily Company Annex, were “remuddled,” with wide metal panels and modern windows dominating the front facade.
Today, after a beautiful restoration in 1996, The Headquarters Building again captures the look of Missoula’s “red-light” district of the 1880s. It has been recognized with both local and state preservation awards.
