Copper King Mansion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Copper King Mansion, a 34-room residence of Victorian architecture, was built from 1884 to 1888 as the Butte, Montana residence of William Andrews Clark, one of Montana's three famous Copper Kings. The home features fresco painted ceilings, elegant parquets of rare imported wood, gas and electric chandeliers, ornate hand-carved fireplaces and stairways and stained-glass windows. The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. [1]
The Copper King Mansion has been privately owned, operated, and occupied by the Cote family for four generations. The home is currently operated as a bed and breakfast. Guided tours are available during the summer tourist season. While the exterior is beginning to show its age, the interior of the mansion is meticulously restored and maintained.
