1. Kaiser House Marker
Michael Kaiser, founder of Philipsburg Water Company, built this grand hotel in 1881. One of Philipsburg's oldest masonry structures, the original hotel boasted a wrap-around porch extending halfway around the building. Second-story French doors, matching windows below and four Norman arched double doors with fan transoms speak to its excellent design. A fine bar, billiard room and T-bone steaks for 50 cents made the Kaiser House a place applauded by travelers and residents alike.Erected by Montana Historical Society.
