In 1886, Welsh Immigrant and the Original "Celtic Cowboy" Robert Vaughn, began plans for "...the most advanced livery in the Pacific Northwest" combining the Livery/Freight Transfer station, Teamster Boarding House and Vegetable and Fruit market, all under one roof. He named the building the “Arvon Block” after his daughter Arvonia. Vaughn was an early Montana pioneer who famously wrote a book entitled, Then and Now: 36 Years in the Rockies, that chronicles his experience on the Montana frontier and reminiscences of many of his famous friends.
