GIBSON MANSION MASTERPIECE

Currently home to famed Montana artist Monte Dolack and his wife Mary, Missoula’s Gibson Mansion is replete with history and stories to tell. Monte and Mary are the 14th owners of this iconic Missoula home. The Gibson Mansion was designed in 1903 by Montana’s most well-known architect, A.J. Gibson. Conceived as a single-family residence by Gibson, the home has had numerous iterations before being returned to its original purpose by the Dolacks. Many of the home’s original design details remain, including the intricately detailed exterior, leaded stained-glass windows, parquet floors, cast iron fireplaces, and of course the magnificent grand staircase. While the scale of the home is imposing, there is an undeniable warmth and coziness to this Victorian masterpiece. Centrally located in the heart of Missoula, the grounds include over a half-acre of beautifully-kept gardens, on two separate lots, situated for privacy. Missoula is home to the iconic Montana Snowbowl ski resort, and there are three more fantastic ski hills just a short drive from the Gibson Mansion. Contact Realtor Julie Gardner for more information.
