Constructed in 1893,[1] the Gleim II building at 255-257 West Front Street was built for madame Mary Gleim.[2] While altered over the years, it was restored in the 1990s, and retains Italianate features such as the brick corbelling along the top front.[3] Along with the nearby Gleim Building, Gleim II was built of brick, replacing a prior wooden structure.[4] During the height of Missoula's Redlight District, it was one of eight brothels owned by Mary Gleim.[5]
