The Clark Chateau was built by copper magnate William A. Clark for his oldest son Charles in 1898. It was designed by architect William S. Aldrich and based on a French chateau the younger Clarks had seen on their honeymoon. Aldrich received his degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1884 and was in Butte from 1898-1900 to oversee the construction of the Chateau. 

​

Charles Clark and his wife, Katherine, lived in the house for just a short time before Charles slipped away to California in 1903, following charges that he bribed a judge in a mining suit. Katherine died in January 1904 in New York City shortly afterwards of a illness.

​

The house was sold to Pat Wall in 1906, a mining investor in East Butte. He sold it in to Creighton Largey, son of murdered banker and merchant Patrick Largey. The Largeys wanted a home where they could entertain their friends and where they could live as well. Creighton's mother, Mrs. J. W. Catron lived across the street. In 1910, the Montana state song was composed in the music room, at a reception following a theatrical performance at the Broadway Theater.

​

In 1915, James A. Murray purchased the Chateau. The Butte College of Music was located in the building from 1917 to 1919, offering lessons in voice, piano, and stringed instruments. His nephew, James E. Murray and Viola Murray and their six sons moved into the house in 1928 and hired Marshall Field and Company of Chicago to decorate the interior. The family lived there until 1945. Judge W. D. Murray and his wife Lulu lived in the house with the elder Murrays from 1942-1945. James served as a U.S. Senator from 1934-1961. He was a staunch liberal and supporter of FDR's New Deal programs, and frequently butted heads with Montana's other senator, Burton K. Wheeler. He was also a fierce activist for the Irish Free State, and was part of the Butte effort to support the Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence (1918-1921).

​

The Shriners occupied the building from 1949 until 1976, and used it as The Fez Club. The building was used for social events, wedding receptions, and Shriner's activities. 

​

It was purchased by the Silver Bow Centennial Committee and sold to the city of Butte in 1977 for use as an arts center and museum. The Chateau is owned by the local government and operated by Chateau staff under the direction of the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives. 

​

The Mission of the Charles Clark Chateau is to preserve the historic building under the ownership of Butte-Silver Bow and encourage it's active use by providing a space and support for the community and visitors to gather and engage in cultural, artistic and humanities programming.

History of Covellite theater 

Originally built as the First Presbyterian Church in 1896, The Covellite Theatre in Uptown Butte, Montana is a medium-capacity (350 seat) proscenium stage venue that hosts live music, film screenings, weddings, festivals, live theatre, and more. The Uptown Lounge on the ground floor is an intimate (150 capacity) scene for live music and parties, with a bar, cabaret seating, and a black box stage. In addition to weekly events, Covellite Presents produces the annual Covellite International Film Festival, Butte’s hometown film fest.

This stunning historic structure has served many purposes over the decades, and was first named The Covellite Theatre in the 1990’s. “Covellite” is a rare, iridescent indigo blue copper sulfide mineral found in Mount Vesuvius, Germany, Argentina, and Silver Bow County, Montana, to name a few. Today the venue is home to a variety of events weekly, including live music, stage plays, comedy, film, dance lessons, vaudeville, burlesque, workshops, classes, fundraisers, and more.

The hauntings that we have experienced are of a bulter figure and a little boy who responses to us thru some of our equipment we also have experienced werid things with the seance table on the 2nd floor with the EMF meters going off on parts of the table. ​

Covellite we haven't had any experiences but have heard of possible activity of the location. 

Plantasauers rex experiences we have had of a woman crying, hearing footsteps, being touched, tasting things in our mouths and seeing cold spots in areas and hearing talking in the building.
