Preserving Butte’s unique architectural heritage


 
 

Butte Citizens for Preservation and Revitalization is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the many historic buildings of Butte, Montana - the largest historic landmark district in the nation.

Butte CPR works to preserve historic buildings by awarding grants; conducting educational tours, workshops, and lectures; providing volunteer labor; and serving as a preservation advocate with local government, business, and civic groups.

Since its founding in 1994, Butte CPR has had a positive impact on dozens of buildings, both residential and commercial.

Butte CPR does the heavy lifting in the Historic Landmark District. They fund restoration, provide access to historic properties through their Dust to Dazzle tours, interpret and bring to life the engaging history of buildings and houses — all of which enriches our story and promotes our history.
