Nicholas J Bielenberg built a mansion in 1883 reflective of his acquired wealth; it was described in the newspaper as "Handsomest Dwelling House in Western Montana", "splendid residence" and "Dest Dwelling House in Montana". The mansion that Nick built in 1883-1884 was sold by him in August of 1904 for the High School in Deer Lodge. It was razed in ]917 for the present High School.
