Upstairs, furnished rooms were rented out to short and long-term tenants by Lawrence and Katherine Graves, the proprietors.

One of those historic touches is the lack of an elevator. Prepare to take the stairs to your room.
There are a dozen rooms and suites here, and no two look alike.

They're also all distinctly named with titles like The Kelley Suite and The Vault Room.
The rooms -- and the hotel in general -- are meant to serve as a celebration of Butte history.

The old photographs and memorabilia showcase the city's mining past, and some of the original details were left intact.
At one time, government Prohibition agent Carrol Olson and declared bootlegger Henry Allexis were both renting rooms here.

Perhaps that knowledge was the inspiration for the hotel's onsite speakeasy, 51 Below, which is open Wednesday through Saturday.
In addition to being extremely charming, the rooms and suites at the Minter's Boutique Hotel are quite affordable.
