History
Tappan House and its environs in 1865

The house was built in 1858 for James C. Tappan, and is unusual for the extremely early appearance of otherwise later Victorian features in its design. Tappan served as a senior officer in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War; his house was occupied by higher-ranking United States Army officers during the occupation of Helena.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1973.[1]
