Forged in Copper, Butte 1917
Rain glistens across the streets of Butte in 1917 as a streetcar moves through the heart of the city beneath a web of trolley lines. Storefronts glow against the wet pavement, pedestrians gather along the sidewalks, and the dense architecture of downtown rises against the hills beyond.
Forged in Copper, Butte 1917 captures the energy of a city shaped by mining, industry, and the people who came west in search of opportunity. At the height of Butte’s copper era, the streets were crowded with workers, merchants, families, and businesses that served one of the most important mining communities in the country.
This painting is a tribute to the strength and character of old Butte—a city built through hard work, ambition, and sacrifice, where the glow of downtown reflected the industry that forged its identity.
