Description: Montana Club building, 24 W. 6th Helena, MT Built in 1905, building is part of the Helena Historic District on NRHP and houses a private club first established in 1885. The original building, built beginning in 1891, burned in 1903 and the current structure was rebuilt using the original first floor as a base. Inside entryway showing clockwise sauwastika mosaics, first installed when original building was constructed prior to 1900, and intended to represent a Native American symbol for good fortune at the time. Due to later association with the Nazi swastika, the Club added explanatory comments on the door nearby. See File:Description_of_mosaics,_Montana_Club,_Helena,_Montana_14.jpg
