Art finally prevailed when he decided he would be happier as a professional artist rather than a Master Optician. He struggled during his post college years juggling art and a career in Ophthalmic Optics. He studied Water Color for over 20 years after college before switching to oil and now enjoys painting landscapes.

Images Stephens Block, Butte Early view of Stephens Grocery with horse-drawn wagon in front Source: The Montana Standard, Dec. When Frank Stephens died in 1898, he was laid in state in the hall at the top of the first flight of stairs. Below the sidewalks, Joseph Richards, the Butte Undertaker, operated one of Butte’s first undertaking businesses until 1908. The main floor and basement were home to many successful businesses including Lutey’s Grocers, one of the first self-serve grocery stores in Butte. In fact, the upper two floors still have only one bath and one water closet (toilet) per floor. The upper floors remain in near original condition, with few modern improvements made over the last century. The thirty-two-room Stephen’s Hotel operated as a boardinghouse and apartments for decades. The building’s richly ornamented corner turret, decorative cast-iron pilasters (flat columns), and soaring plate-glass windows represented the height of fashion. He wrote a check for $499 for the “hole in the ground” on May 4, 1889. Stephens chose the Park and Montana location because the basement was already dug. Successful Irish immigrant Frank Stephens built this prominent, Queen Anne style retail and boardinghouse block in 1891.
