Superior reproduction of
this richly detailed panoramic map of Helena, Montana in 1890 (Library
of Congress stamp, dated September 11, 1890). Included on this map is an
inset depicting the famous Broadwater Hotel and Natatorium, built in
1888-89 by Montana tycoon Charles A. Broadwater. Considering the
popularity of Victorian era health spas, Charles Broadwater sought to
take advantage of the existing hot springs and created an opulently
furnished, world-class hotel and spa. The Moorish architecture and
manicured grounds resulted in one of the most beautiful retreats
imaginable. The Natatorium boasted the world's largest indoor pool, fed
by over one million gallons of hot mountain spring water per day.
Electric trolleys ran to and from downtown Helena, bringing patrons back
and forth. The untimely death of Charles Broadwater in 1892 led to a
steady decline of the hotel, which closed permanently in 1942. This
beautiful map provides a look at the beginnings of the city.
