“Victorian, Gritty, Industrial Gothic”
About This Location
Butte's Uptown Historic District is the largest National Historic Landmark District in the United States—nearly 6,000 contributing properties spanning Victorian mansions, Romanesque Revival civic buildings, and industrial-era storefronts frozen in time on the Continental Divide. The Montana Film Office actively promotes this district as a premier filming destination, and productions have responded: Paramount's 1923 starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren transformed the Uptown area and Civic Center into early 20th-century Montana. The district's extraordinary density of preserved architecture offers productions the rare ability to shoot multiple 'looks' within a single block radius—grand mansion exteriors, working-class row houses, ornate saloon facades, and stark industrial infrastructure all coexist within walking distance.
