Butte CPR

Butte Citizens for Preservation and Revitalization is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the many historic buildings of Butte, Montana - the largest historic landmark district in the nation.

Butte CPR works to preserve historic buildings by awarding grants; conducting educational tours, workshops, and lectures; providing volunteer labor; and serving as a preservation advocate with local government, business, and civic groups.

Since its founding in 1994, Butte CPR has had a positive impact on dozens of buildings, both residential and commercial.

The 1772 Foundation

The 1772 Foundation works to ensure the safe passage of our historic buildings and farmland to future generations.

1772 Foundation gives grants and other support to form revolving funds, like Butte Historic Trust.

A historic properties redevelopment program (revolving fund) is an active real estate-based program for protecting endangered properties using techniques such as: options, purchase/resale, easements and tax credits. These historic structures ultimately are returned to the private sector with deed restrictions in place. Any proceeds realized from transactions are “recycled” to sustain the proactive preservation efforts of the program. The goal of these programs is community redevelopment using historic preservation as a tool.
