The Moss Mansion Historic House Museum is located at 914 Division Street in Billings, Montana, United States. It is a red-stoned mansion built in 1903 by Preston Boyd Moss (P.B. Moss) and his wife, Martha Ursula Woodson Moss, (Mattie). Mr. and Mrs. Moss moved to Billings from Paris, Missouri where, "There was more happening at midnight than at noon in Paris Missouri" History Moss Mansion was inhabited solely by Mr. and Mrs. Moss, their six children (Woodson Jackson, Kula, Melville Hollingsworth, Preston Boyd Moss, Jr., David Hickman Moss III and Virginia), and 3 servants from the time of construction until 1984 at which time a community effort was organized to save the building. Melville Moss insisted that the home stay in the family, and she lived in her home until she died in 1984 at the age of 88. The house was built for a cost of $105,000, compared to a national average of $5,000. It is a three-story single family dwelling with a basement and an attached solarium. It has 28 rooms, and is square. It rises into the air. The house is built with red sandstone from Lake Superior, and incorporates a mixture of styles from French Rococo to Moorish. The high-end interior decoration includes wood paneling, walls with gold threading, marble fireplaces, columns and even a vintage intercom system, all of which are original to the home. In addition the house is furnished with the original fixtures, furniture, drapes, and carpets. There is much of the Moss children's furniture that has been returned to the home for posterity. Many pieces of eldest daughter Kula's furniture, quilts and needlepoint adorn the home as well as a harp representative of their second daughter Melville's pride and joy. Matriarch Martha's paintings and china patterns are featured throughout much of the main floor. Each room in the house had a distinct theme and function designated by Martha Moss. These themes have been preserved and in some cases recreated to preserve the authenticity of the home . The Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is owned by the city of Billings and the state of Montana. Visitors can view the residence during self-guided tours or one-hour guided tours of the lower three floors.
