Paint Grant Project

During the public conversation over the proposed historic preservation ordinance, members of the community expressed concerns that the ordinance was too restrictive, one of the concerns raised was that it would dictate what color of paint could be applied to private homes. The Historic Preservation Commission and PHM repeatedly pointed out that this was not implied nor even expressed by the proposed ordinance. After the proposed historic preservation ordinance failed to pass the City Council, PHM felt that it was important to try to address the misconceptions raised by members of our community. We believe that providing money to homeowners to assist with the painting of their homes, where the homeowners choose the color of their homes, would demonstrate to the community that historic preservation does not dictate what color a homeowner can choose to paint their own home. PHM approached Turner Paints (now Mission Paint) of Missoula to assist with the grant project. The grant recipients must purchase the paint and primer from Mission Paint, the colors are chosen by the homeowner from a palette of historic colors provided by Mission Paint. Mission Paint provides a substantial discount to the grant recipient. PHM would like to thank Mission Paint for providing financial support for this project.
In 2013, Preserve Historic Missoula awarded three grants in Missoula, two grants for $500.00 each were awarded to Missoula residents to assist them with painting their historic homes. One grant for $200.00 was awarded to the Rocky Mountain Museum of Military History for assistance with painting one of the historic structures at Fort Missoula. The first $500.00 grant was awarded to the owners of 827/837 Woody Street in Missoula which is a contributing element to the Missoula Northside Historic District. The second $500.00 grant was awarded to the owners of 201 S. 4th Street West in Missoula, which is a contributing element to the Missoula Southside Historic District.
In 2011, Preserve Historic Missoula awarded $1,000.00 in grants to Missoula residents to assist them with painting their historic homes. The two grants, $500.00 each, were awarded to homes which are located in Missoula County, they are at least 50 years of age, and they are a contributing property to one of Missoula's historic districts. The first grant was awarded to the owners of the historic home at 305 Connell. This craftsman style bungalow was constructed in 1914 and was designed by noted Missoula architect A.J. Gibson. The second grant was awarded to the owners of the historic home at 521 East Pine. This home is a contributing element to the East Pine Historic District, one of Missoula's earliest residential districts.
