The Gardens
A streetcar marked for Columbia Gardens arrives as families gather at the entrance to one of Butte’s most beloved gathering places. Men in dark suits, women in long dresses, and children dressed for an outing fill the platform, capturing the anticipation and excitement of a day spent at the Gardens.
The Gardens reflects a time when Columbia Gardens offered Butte families an escape from the noise and industry of the mining city—a place of amusement, music, picnics, and community. The glowing streetcar and busy entrance give the scene a sense of arrival, while the surrounding trees and mountains soften the industrial world beyond.
This painting is a tribute to the generations who made memories there—to the ride out, the gathering crowds, and the simple joy of stepping off the streetcar knowing that the Gardens were just ahead.
