The Don E. Olsson House and Garage is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Ronan, Montana, United States. It was added to the Register on January 15, 2009.[1]

It was deemed significant "for its mid-century modern residential architecture that represents an early example of the Ranch style in Ronan and Lake County when it was built in 1950-51. The house, its 1954 addition, and its 1952 garage were designed by architect Thomas Balzhiser, the brother of Don E. Olsson's wife, Mildred "Petie" Balzhiser Olsson. The garage and addition share the same design features as the house. The house became a model for subsequent residential construction in Ronan including the Harald Olsson House at 408 Eisenhower, also designed by Thomas Balzhiser."[2]
