"The Silverman Mansion "
		History excerpts take from plaque in front of home placed by the National Register of Historic Places in cooperation with the Montana Historical Society An unknown yet gifted architect created this glorious three-story residence with its turret, pillars, intricate ornamentation and its imaginative stained glass. Completed in 1892...the home is remarkable for its energy efficient design...Morris Silverman, a Jewish immigrant from Russian Poland...crossed the plains with a team of oexen, settling here in 1867. Silverman, a man of influence, in 1886 presided over the committee to establish the Jewish synagogue which still stands a block away.
After his death in 1931, his daughter Dorothy, a Helena schoolteacher for almost 40 years, lived here until her death in 1969. Although the 1935 earthquake destroyed 3 elaborately paneled chimneys, the home appears today almost as it did in 1892, revealing a marvelously whimsical side to the otherwise straight- laced Victorian era.
