Minneapolis architect Frederick Kees designed the magnificent 1898 Renaissance Revival style showcase of steel, terra cotta, decorative glass, and wrought iron grille work to house Hennessy’s thriving business. The Anaconda Copper Mining Company added to the building’s prestige, moving its executive offices to the sixth floor in 1901. There the company reigned over its empire atop the city’s most modern building. Façade restoration in 1989 by ENTECH, Incorporated, rejuvenated the building, which now serves as a major business center accommodating modern offices.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/b2694698-4c33-4e3d-b1f9-d8b8740bf6dc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Butte National Historic Landmark District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/9ecb5fd7-e392-42a7-a16e-94df0f020422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Butte National Historic Landmark District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/11c99835afd6bb663a60d06918ac0b37.jpg":{"id":930,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Hennessey Building","description":"Hennessey Building, facing southwest, side/front view. | <a href=\"https://www.montanapictures.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MontanaPictures.net</a> | June 2008 | MontanaPictures.net","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/11c99835afd6bb663a60d06918ac0b37.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/1eed544151d05449ed43121173011bad.jpg":{"id":931,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Hennessey Building","description":"Hennessey Building, facing southeast, view of front door on North Main Street. | <a href=\"https://www.montanapictures.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MontanaPictures.net</a> | June 2008 | MontanaPictures.net","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/1eed544151d05449ed43121173011bad.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/44c738e80b97630a4d8b925f77689f6f.jpg":{"id":1168,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Hennessy&#039;s Department Store-Butte","description":"Hennessy Building, front/side view of building, looking east at intersection of North Main Street and Granite Street.
