Butte Miner Building - Butte Floral Company. Butte National Historic Landmark District. Both men and women were admitted to this temperance organization, whose Montana Grand Lodge was organized in 1868. Butte Lodge #14 commissioned architect H. M. Patterson to design this appealing three-story building, completed in 1891, which served as the groups meeting hall. While Patterson demonstrated exceptional talent in local residential design, his commercial and public commissions were the key to his considerable reputation. This was his first major commercial project. The upper floors reveal Pattersons creative flair: graceful semi-circular arches, recessed windows with rough-faced stone sills, and fine decorative brickwork. The buildings present use as a bar defies the Templar ethic to never cease until the last vestige of that fearful vice is driven from our land.
