Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Lehrkind Mansion allows
guests to enjoy the comfortable ambiance of Montana's Victorian past. Built in
1897, the Lehrkind offers one of the state's finest examples of Queen Anne-style
architecture. Gables, overhangs, bays and a large corner tower are among the
Mansion's spectacular features. Relax in overstuffed chairs bathed in the light of
large windows topped with leaded and stained glass. Immerse yourself among
unique period antiques, original woodwork, oriental carpets, and the diverse
indoor garden of palms, ferns and flowers.

As the turn of the 19th century grew near, German-born master-brewer Julius
Lehrkind, owner of Bozeman Lager Beer, began construction on a magnificent
house beside his sizeable new brewery. To bless the house in true form, each
brick was soaked or "cured" in large vats of beer before being set - making it
truly "the house that beer built". Ever since, the Mansion has been the anchor
of Bozeman's Historic Brewery District and an intrigue to many. It is today one
of Bozeman's most beloved homes and one of the most representative classic
Queen Anne Victorians in Montana. Its neighborhood represents Montana's
working past - where homes and industry were often neighbors.
The Lehrkind Mansion sits nestled among other notable structures, such as
the historic Bozeman Brewery, grain elevator, bottleworks, train depot and
other homes; presently a reviving eclectic historic corner of Bozeman's
19th century roots.
