East Side Neighborhood, Butte

4 Locations | Curated by Historic Montana

The East Side neighborhood is bordered on the east by the Berkeley Pit, on the south by the upper yards of the Northern Pacific Railroad, on the west by the east side of Arizona Street, and on the north by the terminus of Quartz Street. The area achieves its distinctive identity through a mix of commercial buildings and housing, and its ties to three ethnic communities. Finntown is located along the upper streets, including East Broadway and East Park, while Serbians and Lebanese (and a variety of other Southern European immigrants) resided on the lower East Side.
