Charles E. Conrad (1850-1902), owner of the Kalispell Townsite Company, founded the town of Kalispell, MT, in 1891. Like many ambitious real estate developers, Conrad looked for other ways to multiply his fortune. He, like many others, settled on the profitable banking industry; he founded the Conrad National Bank in Kalispell, and this three-story, Shingle Style residence by the noted Spokane architectural firm of Cutter and Malmgren, stood as proof of his success. In 1895, this house, designed by the fine designer Kirtland K. Cutter (1860-1939) would have been more modern and unusual than the run-of-the-mill Queen Anne Revival and Italianate mansions often built by the newly rich. Conrad lived in the house with his wife, Alicia Davenport Stanford Conrad (1861-1923).

The Conrad House later operated as an historic house museum, aptly named the "Conrad Mansion Museum."
