Richard Schuppert School Rendering

Description

School rendering by Richard Schuppert. The Great Falls Railroad Historic District is historically significant for its associations with the city’s major historic growth periods. Great Falls benefitted economically, politically and socially from the development. 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 retained and the influential architects responsible for many of the buildings’ designs. The architects include George Bird, George Shanley, Johannes Van Teylingen, Henry Hall Johnson, and Richard Schuppert.
