During the Summer of 1887, Ben F Pippinger became Red Lodge`s first teacher, hired to teach the children of Rocky Fork Coal Miners opening the area`s first coal mines. Pippinger later ran the Cloverdale Dairy on a ranch north of town. He and his wife Cora built this 9-room gable front cottage in 1902, as an in town residence. The house was for sale in 1904 at an asking price of $2600. It was noted to be furnished throughout and nicely suited for boarding and rooming purposes, because of its central arrangements around the central hall.

John and Mary Conway purchased the home in 1907 for $2500. Mary operated a boarding house, one of the few establishments in the Hi Bug until 1920.  Her tenants included school super-intendant A. C Carloon and railway weighmaster John McLennan.  

The distinctive roofline sets this residence apart from the neighborhood's twelve other similar cottages. Cornice returns to stain the leaded glass that enhances its vintage appeal!

Downtown Red Lodge is only a short walk away.

There are walking trails behind the house up to the ridge and all around the Airport Loop. Lions park is just down the street, the grocery store is a quick walk as well.

Yellowstone National Park is about 70 miles away via the Beartooth Pass, but it still take about 2 hours to get there due to the twists and turns along the way. Beautiful scenic drive!

Red Lodge Mountain is about 15 minutes away.

The house is very charming and well equipped with everything you need. On arrival we found a large amount of dead flies on the floor and window sill and bath tub and we had an invasion of flies throughout our stay, it seemed like they are finding their way through closed windows. There still was coffee in the coffee maker from the previous guest. Also to mention are the stairs to the upper bedrooms, they are quite slippery without a hand rail and might be unsafe to navigate for older people. All in all, we had a great time, thank you
