&lt;p&gt;Interior view of the Conlon House at 305 Fourth Avenue East. Historical Marker: Pioneer merchant James Conlong commissioned architect Joseph B. Gibson to design this stunning Georgian Revival style home in 1914. Built for Conlon's wife, Mary, J.F. Simmonds was the contractor. The high style and fine details are unique to Kalispell's historic East Side. An elegant radial entry, brackets and dentils at the eaves, ornamental balustrades, and corner quoins highlight the grand facade. Highly polished mahogany woodwork, laminated sliding doors with leaded glass, three fireplaces and some of the original furnishing preserve the period ambience inside. Innovative features include a woodbox concealed in a hall seat that is served from a basement dumbwaiter and a dining room radiator with a built-in food warmer. Retired North Dakota banker B.M. Wohlwend purchased the property in 1945 for his wife, Jennie, and daughter, Lois. It has since been home to Lois and her husband, twenty-four-year legislator Senator Matt Himsl, and the Himsls' five children. Friendly neighbors have called this beautiful home the &quot;Embassy&quot; for its inviting grace, warm interior and cordial owners. (Brenda Ahearn/Daily Inter Lake)&lt;/p&gt;
