The Boston and Montana Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining Company, later acquired by the Anaconda Company, chose a treeless bluff overlooking the river for its smelter and refinery in 1892. This Queen Anne style home, built circa 1893 at Black Eagle, was the largest of the seventeen managers’ houses constructed there in the mid-1890s. Its first resident manager was Charles W. Goodale, who lived there from 1902 to 1913, and a later manager, Al Wiggin, who lived there from 1918 to 1941, had many trees planted on barren Smelter Hill, transforming it into a pleasant, shaded neighborhood. Managers continued to use the residence until the refinery closed in 1980, putting the company houses at risk, but most were saved and moved to new locations. In 1983, Richard and Carol Ecke moved this 120-ton house to its present site. The residence features oak floors, carved ceiling beams, copper rain gutters, and mahogany trim, along with original pewter and crystal fixtures.
