St. Benedict's Catholic School is a historic school building located at 524 1st Street West in Roundup, Montana. The school was built in 1920-21 to serve the children of Roundup's Catholic immigrant community. Coal production, an oil boom, and homesteading all drove economic and population growth in Roundup during the 1910s, and many of the city's new residents were European immigrants. The city's newly established Catholic community built the school toward the end of Roundup's building boom. Architect John H. Grant, who served as the city's only resident architect, designed the two-story brick building. Various groups of nuns served as the school's teachers, with different orders replacing the previous one every few years; when a new order could not be found to replace a departing order in 1950, the school closed for good.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 21, 1988. [1] It is currently being used as the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum.

Hotel St. Benedict Flats United States historic place

Hotel St. Benedict Flats is a historic apartment building located at the northeast corner of Chicago Avenue and Wabash Avenue in the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1882, the building was one of the "French flat" luxury apartments constructed after the Great Chicago Fire; named for their resemblance to Parisian apartments, these new buildings brought apartment living to Chicago's upper class. The building was built by Loyola University with the intention to use the revenue to pay for healthcare for the poor. Architect James J. Egan, an Irish Catholic better known for his church designs, designed the Victorian Gothic building. The building's decorative features, such as its lintels, art glass windows, and use of pressed metal, were common features of contemporary upper-class homes, while its mansard roofs evoked French architecture. Egan named the building for the property's previous owners, the Order of Saint Benedict; the "Hotel" portion of the name was added to exploit a legal loophole, as the building never served as a hotel. The original doors still remain on the flats.
