Construction began in 1892 and was finished in November 1895, with the design by Spokane architect Kirtland Cutter. It was built as the home of Charles E. Conrad, a late 19th-century shipping magnate and early pioneer of Kalispell. The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for Flathead County, Montana.
The house displays original furnishings and detailed woodwork that show how wealthy families lived during the 1890s in Montana. Visitors can see how the rooms were decorated and used by the family who called this place home.
The mansion stands at 1035 4th Avenue East in Kalispell, near the Conrad Memorial Cemetery. Guided tours lead through the furnished rooms and the surrounding grounds; the building is a private museum, so entry is by tour rather than self-guided wandering.
The house contained advanced technology for its era, including indoor plumbing, electric call bells, and speaking tubes that connected different rooms. These features demonstrate how modern the home was compared to most houses of that period.
