Description
Preliminary drawing for a small High or Grammar school in Montana. Artist: Eugene Johnson, Circa 1919. The Great Falls Railroad Historic District is historically significant for its associations with the city’s major historic growth periods of 1887-1893, 1909-1920, and 1929-1941. Great Falls benefitted economically, politically and socially from the development. The architects include George Bird, George Shanley, Johannes Van Teylingen, Henry Hall Johnson, and Richard Schuppert.
The design qualifies for a National Register listing for Criterion A due to its association with Great Northern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroads in Montana. The district meets Criterion B for its associations with Paris Gibson and James J. Hill. It also qualifies under Criterion C for the high degree of architectural integrity and being designed by influential architects.
