Turner House, Bannack State Park (ghost town and first territorial capitol), Montana, July 30, 2010.
Like most buildings in Bannack2, this cabin saw many different uses over the years. This house was last owned by the Turner family before being acquired by the State of Montana. Arthur Contway purchased the building in the early 1900s and it served as his residence, Post Office, barbershop and had the only telephone in town for some time. For a time, it served as the office for Spokane mining company.
