The second-story windows are highlighted by a decorative entablature and the façade features a bay window with a partial gable overhang. George Mennie, a boss carpenter at the Original Mine, likely built this house in 1907. Mennie lived here until 1913 when salesman Thomas Casey and his family purchased the property. A native of Indiana, Casey was one of the last old-time traveling salesmen, covering territory in northern Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, and parts of Utah in a horse and buggy. During his thirty-six years in Butte he was part owner and partner in the manufacturing agents firm of Casey and Lanphier with T. J. Lanphier. Casey died of a sudden heart attack just six weeks after his wife’s death. Frank Schilling purchased the home in 1937 and remained here until 1963. Schilling was a salesman for T. J. Lanphier and was Casey’s nephew.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/b2694698-4c33-4e3d-b1f9-d8b8740bf6dc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Butte National Historic Landmark District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/9ecb5fd7-e392-42a7-a16e-94df0f020422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Butte National Historic Landmark District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://storyofbutte.org/files/fullsize/2be03d5f21200e4313b5dcf00aa55dc9.jpg":{"id":4298,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Mennie House","description":"Mennie House.
