Wreckers Tear Down the Walls of the Montana Club Building
Special Dispatch to the Standard Helena April 29 A roar marked the west wall collapse as wreckers torn down the Montana club structure. Workers pulled bricks with cables to remove the dangerous seven story wall while crowds watched. Club leaders debated how far to raze and arranged a six month lease for a Word house as plans to rebuild gathered pace with $17,500 in subscriptions and $40,000 sought. A dynamite blast failed to finish the job tonight, leaving the wall and chimney still standing.
