Lunch was free. One of Main Street’s first brick buildings, the saloon featured an oak and mahogany bar, French mirrors, and brass trim. German immigrants Charles and Henry Lindlahr owned the saloon as well as the Kalispell Malting and Brewing Company. In 1900, Charles added a second story to house the exclusive, men-only Kalispell Club. The club offered reception, reading, and billiard rooms. Expansion continued in 1901 with the addition of Kalispell’s first bowling alley and second-floor card rooms and bathrooms. By 1919, James Jorgenson and Albert Dreessen owned the building, which they renamed The Palm. The Palm survived Prohibition by selling fishing and smoking supplies, gifts, candy, lunches, and fountain drinks and by opening the bowling alley once a week to women. In the 1970s, the building was renovated and the exterior was covered with modern metal and brick. Using historic photographs for reference, the original Victorian façade was meticulously reconstructed in 2001. ","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/5b672beb-faa8-402a-a856-24702d8e4340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Kalispell Main Steet Historic District (Addendum and Boundary Increase)</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/14de396f-ce0b-4e34-9df6-fc39d3223ee2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Kalispell Main Steet Historic District (Addendum and Boundary Increase)</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/734c559d0ee2b16d3a61f91af7942c6a.jpg":{"id":6698,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Brewery Saloon","description":"View of facade, facing west on Main Street.  | Montana Historical Society | July 2026 | Arizona Duff","alt":"alt=&quot;&quot;","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/734c559d0ee2b16d3a61f91af7942c6a.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/d3e0056a348a84ce3d933641c635d180.jpg":{"id":6699,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Brewery Saloon, detail","description":"Detail view of facade restoration. | Montana Historical Society | July 2026 | Arizona Duff","alt":"alt=&quot;&quot;","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/d3e0056a348a84ce3d933641c635d180.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/73835e0a119a459240f9fcf55da26f48.jpg":{"id":485,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Brewery Saloon, street view","description":"Black and white photo of 120 Main Street in May 2000 (verso), prior to restoration work.  | Official records of the Montana State Historic Preservation Office, Helena, Montana | May 2000 | Unidentified photographer","alt":"alt=&quot;&quot;","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/73835e0a119a459240f9fcf55da26f48.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/70675c8e9723cd12af054eab009b188e.jpg":{"id":486,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Brewery Saloon, street view","description":"Black and white photograph of ground floor construction hidden by temporary plywood front.
