105 N Excelsior Avenue, Butte, MT 59701

One of Butte's finest mansions...This historic gem has 10 bedrooms, 7.5 baths and an owner who has upgraded many systems which include electrical, roof and exterior paint. You'll step back in time to the turn of the 20th centurn when you walk through the incomparable leaded glass entry hall doors. This mansion is in the Georgian Style with original hardwood floors and woodwork throughout. A large formal living room and dining room flank the entryhall. Further down the hall is a half bath maintaining original tile work, a spacious laundry and workout room and the kitchen. Amazing, in that the kitchen has the original wall of refrigerators in working condition, with a professional gas range, butler's pantry and access to a smaller dining area. The gorgeous stairway is grand in scale and design taking you to the 2nd and third floors. Four bedrooms with baths are on the second floor with large scale hallways, an office and balcony. Onto the third floor are 6 more bedrooms and 3 baths. Bathrooms are restored and in working condition with a constant mind to the detail of the original tile, kept for the future. The basement has several finished rooms for storage. The front half of Hodgens Ryan Mansion was built in 1899 by Thomas Hodgens, Head Cashier for State Savings Bank. A few years later, in 1905, he sold the house to John D. Ryan, who was President of the Montana Power Company. Ryan approximately doubled the size of the house by adding the back portion of the structure to make it the mansion that it is today. The Hodgens Ryan Mansion still reflects the grandeur of the Industrial Period when industrialists consolidated the mining operations and power of Butte, Montana, allowing them to live in luxury.
