VAN ORSDEL MEMORIAL BUILDING, HELENA MONTANA
DURING MY RECENT TRAVELS I AGAIN VISITED A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY IN THE HELENA VALLEY. THE VAN ORSDEL BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1921 AND 1935 BUT WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED BY AN EARTHQUAKE IN LATER YEARS. FROM 1889 UNTIL 1899 THE ORIGINAL BUILDING THAT SAT ON THE GROUNDS OF THE BUILDING SHOWN BELOW SERVED AS ONE OF THE FIRST UNIVERSITIES KNOWN AS THE "MONTANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY". IN LATER YEARS THE BUILDING WAS USED AS A BOARDING SCHOOL AND RECEIVING HOME FOR UNWANTED CHILDREN. I HAVE VISITED THIS BUILDING ON MANY OCCASIONS AND HAVE ENCOUNTERED SOME INTERESTING PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
