The Kalispell Lumber Company Building
The historic Kalispell Lumber Company - a unique and rustic building emblazoned with an iconic and outsized reference to Kalispell’s timber tradition, was dismantled and relocated from the west side of town and has been rebuilt on the Snowline Acres property.
The relocation of this structure is the result of several years of planning, a passion for old buildings with history and character, and our entrepreneurial vision to create a place for family traditions.
The original 22,000-square-foot Kalispell Lumber Co. building, erected in 1939 in what was once the industrial heart of the Flathead Valley, has been carefully reassembled.
Heritage Timber LLC, a Missoula-based deconstruction company, has reassembled the building, which encompasses roughly 220,000 board feet of wood. Much of the material is tight-grain, old growth wood cut in old-fashioned dimensions, including 10 by 12 inch posts, 22 inch beams and towering roof trusses that extend 40 feet into the sky. An estimated 90 percent of the original structure was preserved so that it can retain its historic identity after being rebuilt.
The Kalispell Lumber Co. building is certainly a relic from a bygone era. It has survived time and torment, including two major fires that consumed entire city blocks more than half a century ago. Its signature presence on the west side of town has been unmistakable to generations of passersby. But the building will be preserved and new family memories and traditions will be made within its walls.
