Located in Helena's historic downtown, Helena Abstract and Title Company (HA&TCo.) is just steps away from the walking mall at the base of the Rocky Mountain front. Helena boasts many specialty shops and restaraunts to choose from, as well as the original buildings that were built once the miners set in to make this town their home. We are also near the original Fire Tower, the Governor's Mansion, the Cathedral of St. Helena, Reeder's Alley and the Mansion District.
HA&TCo. has chosen to make its home in the Montana Club Building. Originally build in 1893, this was considered to be the "most magnificent building this side of Chicago devoted to club purposes". Built as a millionaire gentleman's club, women were only allowed into certain rooms and at certain times. The original building succomed to a fire in April, 1903, when Harry Anderson, the fouteen-year-old son of the club's bartender, Julian Anderson, set the fire in the northwest corner of the top floor. Cass Gilbert, a renowned St. Paul and New York architect with ties to Helena was hired as the architect to build the new building that stands today. Construction began March, 1904, and in June, 1905 the building was ready for use. Though the new building isn't as extravagent as the original, the building is still amazing to walk through due to its magnificent architecture.
Helena Abstract and Title Company moved into the first floor of the Montana Club building in February, 1991. We have the most complete tract room in Helena and specilize in mineral searches.
In March 2005 the company split the Title and Closing Departments. The Closing Department moved to 314 Fuller Avenue where we have more room to accomidate our customers. We are able to do closings right at our desk so changes are easier and more convenient.
