Home’s History

Originally conceived as a catalog home, the Raymond House was built in 1896 at the heart of one of Missoula’s premier neighborhoods, capturing the essence of Victorian craftsmanship and the spirit of the Rattlesnake district.

A comprehensive remodel, along with thoughtful additions, was undertaken in the recent past, breathing new life into the residence while meticulously preserving its original character.

As the Raymond House continues to stand proudly on Raymond Avenue, it remains a beacon of architectural beauty, historical significance, and communal pride.
