Meyer fulfilled his resolve to have the town’s finest residence with the construction of this Queen Anne style home in 1899.

Its golden oak staircase features a landing “large enough to accommodate a string quartet.”<br />","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/5ff6bfd7-37b4-41ed-a5b3-e52f26f0d5a2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Hi-Bug Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/df68c3c8-b71d-4f93-b2ad-e271ac5c6e00/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Hi-Bug Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/dd14f6c999c61bdb671d52a1f7566f14.jpg":{"id":2971,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Meyer House","description":"Meyer House (PAc 91-51 Red Lodge/Hi-Bug HD R04 F05).
