510 Tenth Street
(1917): Louis Newman Home.
Louis Newman had this Bungalow built. He was one of Havre’s most
notable Mayors who ran on a “Clean Up Havre” campaign, which centered on
decreasing the visibility of Havre’s saloons and brothels in the
downtown area, as James J. Hill had threatened to pull the division
point out of Havre after an unpleasant visit to Havre by some
influential friends. Mr. Newman was quite successful in his efforts,
and Havre is still one of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe’s division
points.
