Historic Bordens Building, Whitehall

Renovation plans are underway for the Historic Bordens building in the center of downtown Whitehall.  Bordens is a landmark and iconic symbol of Whitehall.  Nearly every lifelong resident has a special memory of the building.

The 13,000 square foot, two story brick building was built in 1914 by Lott and Hilda Borden.  It housed a café, bar and hotel and currently is home to Cafe August, a breakfast and lunch spot featuring homemade food. JLDC purchased the building in 2009. 

Renovation plans include loft style apartments on the second floor and offices, commercial and retail space on the main floor.  Additional people living and working downtown will bring back some of the vitality lost after Whitehall's downtown fire of 2009. 

 High Plains Architects completed a feasibility study on the project in 2011 thanks to a Preserve America planning grant from the Montana State Historic Preservation Office.
