Last Chance Gulch Sunset (horizontal)

Helena Montana’s Last Chance Gulch during a spring sunset. I wanted to have the Eddy’s Bread restored ‘ghost’ sign featured as it is very much part of the city’s rich history.

In 1910, Eddy O’Connell bolstered the city’s economic growth by founding Eddy’s Bread downtown, and the company evolved into a prominent baked-goods purveyor throughout Big Sky country and the Northwest. At its peak, the company entailed 20 bakeries that produced one million loaves of bread weekly. The company was eventually shuttered in 1978, but remains an important part of local history.

The sign received a much needed restoration in 2012.
