Historic houses in Montana face costly restoration struggles
Two Montana cities wrestle with old homes that could become tourist draws but lack funds to restore. Great Falls weighs tearing down the Russell home while preserving the Russell Studio next door, amid opposition from local groups. Helena eyes a $35,000 restoration but bids for exterior work exceed funds by about $3,000, leaving interior work unresolved.
