Ashland, Mont. --- St. Labre Indian School - "The 'Old Dairy Barn' on the St. Labre campus burned to the ground on May 2nd.” Well known as a landmark in the area, and one of the oldest buildings on the campus, the building will be missed by many. 
The barn was built around 1930-1931 as noted in the publication "A Portrait of St. Labre Indian Mission Through 100 Years 1884-1984".
"When Fintan arrived in 1932 the Saint Labre farm had been in operation for years. A root cellar had been built in 1928 and a few years later the barn and silo were put up." Read Chapter 8 here...
