Shed dormers, exposed rafter tails, wide eaves supported by brackets, a flared chimney, and a full-width front porch mark this circa 1913 home as a Craftsman style residence. Native rock and molded concrete ornament the full basement; interior features include built-in cabinets with leaded glass doors in the living and dining rooms, a fireplace of Kalispell brick, and walk-in closets (all but one with windows that open). The house was likely constructed for Frank Johnson, a cashier at the Conrad National Bank, who owned the residence until 1918. Ernest and Helen Child lived here from 1920 until Ernest’s death in 1941. Born in DeKalb, New York, Ernest was a prominent attorney who arrived in the Flathead Valley from Wisconsin in 1905. Helen, a Minnesota native, was called a “singer of note” at the time of their marriage in 1906. During the Childs’ occupancy, the exterior was elegantly landscaped; in 1936, the Kalispell News published a detailed description of the yard, which it called “the beautiful garden of another ‘Home Beautiful’.”
