1923

A nice 1923 view of W. Sixth Ave., from the steps of the Federal Building (City-County Building).

Notable is the pagoda-style tile roof atop the entrance on the corner of the Electric Block. It dates from about 1910, when extensive renovations were done on the building, the tall brick stack having been removed from that corner in 1905.

1981

O'Toole's, 330 N. Main (Last Chance Gulch), was the epicenter of Helena's St. Patrick's Day celebrations from 1965 to 2013. The action would frequently spill out onto the sidewalk.
