Teton Implement Co Purchases Main Ave Property
Teton Implement Co took ownership of the frame building and lot on Main Avenue across from the post office, formerly the Chateau Acantha and once Governor J. I. Erickson’s law office, from A. B. Guthrie. The building, now used by Teton Implement, was bought from Strain Brothers of Great Falls and is to be renovated as the company’s new quarters, with possible rear additions. Exact timing of occupancy remains uncertain, with a plan to raze the old structure and erect a new one if needed, contingent on spring timelines and fire safety regulations.
