Making Montana Modern
Join Paul Filicetti, Crystal Herzog, and Kate Geer—preservation team members at A&E Design in Missoula—to learn about three influential Montana Modernist architects who shaped Montana’s built environment after World War II. Elmira Smyrl, a professor and educator at Montana State University’s School of Architecture, contributed to the design of the Montana State Field House (Brick Breeden Field House), which in 1957 was the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world. Few people know that Missoula architect William (Bill) Fox, known for his numerous Rustic-style commissions for the U.S. Forest Service in Missoula, designed a 1946 jewel, the Art Deco–style KPRK Radio station in Livingston. Last but not least, the first Montana woman to study at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design in the postwar period, Daphne Bugbee Jones, went on to design a number of significant Modernist residences in Missoula.
