The Brooks Hotel, located off the East Side Highway in Corvallis, Montana, is a historic hotel built in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
It was built in Queen Anne-style as the residence of George Dougherty, a merchant in Corvallis. It is "composed of numerous catalogue-ordered sections" and is described in its NRHP nomination "as an intriguing architectural landmark in the Bitterroot Valley".
Lula Brooks bought the home in 1916 and turned it into a hotel. Her daughters and granddaughters, the Swanson sisters, cooked in the hotel until 1975. In 2016 Nora Cassens purchased the property updated it and turned it into a successful daycare. The barn behind the school was also renovated and is the location of the pre-school program of the business. There is a walkthrough on youtube.
