First cabin 17th Street West and Rimrock Road. George Lamport home

Details

DescriptionIdentified as the early cabin (1880s) of George Lamport. His brother, Grant, was Chief of the Billings Fire Department in 1894. An exhibit research piece from Judy McNally and Western Heritage Center, dated 1977, and from the Montana Room collections, provides this summary of Lamport: 'George Lamport came from the Black Hills with milk cows and several yoke of oxen to start the first dairy farm in the Valley. His two brothers, Jim and Grant, were invited to come to Montana to help him build his cabin, and they all liked the area so well that they all stayed,' says George's niece, Montana Lamport.' By 1977 all that remained was the stone fireplace on 17th Street west.TypeImageCreatorUnknownGenrephotographsDateCirca 1955SubjectLog cabinsLamport, GeorgeContributing InstitutionBillings Public LibraryGeographic CoverageBillings, MontanaDigital CollectionBillings - Images of PlacesDigital Formatimage/jpgDigitization SpecificationEpson 1640 XL scanner. 8 x 10 image at 300 dpi, 8 bit greyscale.
