Another historic structure in Uptown Butte is coming down.
The Blue Range building is being demolished to make way for more space for Staack's Motorsports.
And some community members are not happy with it.
Brian McGregor, owner of the Silver Dollar Saloon, says that itâs a travesty for Butteâs historic district.
"Those buildings represent millions of dollars in future tourism revenue and we feel that the local government is working against our best interests in facilitating the destruction of these buildings rather than working to preserve them," said McGregor.
