From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Socialist Hall in Butte, Montana is one of few socialist halls remaining in the United States. Erected in 1916 when the Socialist movement was strong in Butte, it was active for only a few years until Socialism fell out of favor. During its brief time of service, the Industrial Workers of the World met here as well as at Finlander Hall in Butte.
Today a sporting goods shop occupies the first floor. The building is outside the boundaries of the Butte-Anaconda-Walkerville National Historic Landmark District, but is included with it.
