This attractive brick Italianate style dwelling, constructed in 1890, originally accommodated two families and helped ease the growing neighborhood’s housing shortage. Its location near the courthouse was convenient for the Honorable Henry N. Blake, an attorney and district court judge, who was one of the first tenants. Although its original back porch has been removed, the distinguished residence is one of the district’s best examples of the Italianate style urban row house.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/3fca4448-c79e-4066-a62a-fe552a5d23e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Helena Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/d8c79c92-0567-4c6d-8d35-cf378fb0b7ce/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Helena Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/c4f749f78f0cede4680f7059697a11e1.jpg":{"id":3244,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Sixth Avenue Apartment","description":"Sixth Avenue Apartment.
