Welcome to Glasgow’s premier historic hotel located in the heart of the downtown area, where everything is just a stone’s throw away. Allow us to be your guide to all things Glasgow.
In 1915, the Spanish Mission architecture peaked in popularity after the Panama California Exposition brought this style beyond the Southwest. The highly recognizable features of this style allowed small town boosters to project a modern and cosmopolitan image, which led the renowned Montana architectural firm, Link and Haire, to incorporate Mission-style elements such as colorful terra-cotta detailing, decorative brickwork, and high, shaped parapets into their design for the Rundle Title and Abstract Company building.
Sidney Rundle, the principal of the firm, was a leading figure in Glasgow, Montana, and his success was directly linked to the area’s ability to attract homesteaders. His up-to-date building quickly became the center of Glasgow’s commerce and recreation.
The building’s basement housed a billiards room, bowling alley, and a five-chair barber shop that featured a Turkish bath steam cabinet and two showers, offering customers the opportunity to freshen up before a night on the town. The first floor featured ten retail establishments with modern display cases, electric lights, and an illuminating atmosphere. The second floor was home to offices, the abstract company’s fireproof vault, and club rooms for the use of the city’s businessmen. The building’s top floor was initially a forty-room hotel before being converted into apartments.
In 1920, the Glasgow Courier moved into the business block, and its legendary editor, Sam Gilluly, covered the construction of the Fort Peck Dam and the rise of Glasgow Air Base during his thirty-year tenure. Today, you can experience the same historic ambiance while enjoying modern amenities and personalized service at our Glasgow’s premier historic hotel.
