Gone but not Forgotten in the Electric City The unrelenting passage of time inevitably brings dramatic physical change. Thus, many of Great Falls' iconic figures and landmarks persist only in memory. Internationally famous "cowboy artist" Charles M. Russell favored socializing at the Mint and Silver Dollar Saloons. The Ozark Club broke down racial barriers, where African American businessman Leo LaMar presented the hottest jazz acts touring the West. Mark Twain and other luminaries graced the Grand Opera. City-sanctioned brothels littered the infamous 10th Alley South. The Big Stack, once the world's tallest structure, stood as a testament of industry and progress. Award-winning historian Ken Robison turns back the clock for a nostalgic tour of the city's lost architectural, social and cultural heritage.
