715 4th Avenue N, Great Falls, MT 59401

Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Great Falls' most historically significant residences.

Located on prestigious 4th Avenue North in Great Falls' Historic District, this remarkable 1892 Transitional Queen Anne Colonial Revival home offers approximately 2,786 square feet of finished living space and stands as a true piece of Montana history. Known historically as the Egloff/Fairfield House, the residence was first home to Bertha and Paul Egloff, owners of one of Great Falls' earliest jewelry stores, before becoming the home of Dr. John Henry Fairfield, the city's first permanent physician and second mayor.

The home was later owned by nationally recognized artist, painter, printmaker, sculptor, craftsman, educator, and Montana Institute of the Arts founding member Branson Stevenson. Stevenson maintained his studio on the property, and visitors can still experience his artistic legacy today. Original Branson Stevenson artworks remain on display within the residence, while the basement studio preserves the ink fingerprints and marks left behind by generations of local artists who worked and gathered there.

Beautifully preserved and lovingly maintained by the current owners since 1983, the home showcases exceptional original craftsmanship throughout. Solid wood doors with original functioning hardware remain intact, alongside original wall coverings, decorative turned woodwork, hardwood floors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, bay windows framed by sandstone sills and lintels, and stunning brick masonry construction. Historic details remain remarkably intact throughout the home, including the original butler's quarters on the upper level—a rare surviving feature seldom found in residences of this era. The residence features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living and entertaining areas, a full basement, and an oversized detached 4-car garage with gated concrete parking on both sides. Rich in architecture, art, and local history, this move-in-ready home offers a rare opportunity to own one of the finest preserved historic residences in Montana.

A true time capsule of Great Falls history—where the craftsmanship, stories, and artistic legacy of generations remain remarkably intact.
