Building is in the beginning stages of reconstruction. Artifacts found there are old, creepy and the place smells. But we enjoyed the tour guide who was knowledgeable and friendly. Great potential for tourist attraction in the future. The bones of the building are beautiful. The subject of the tour is adult. Support the restoration of this historic place with your visit, but be prepared.

Was attracted by history and reports of ghost sightings, but was ultimately concerned about personal safety once inside. The physical structure should probably be condemned -- OUTRIGHT. I HIGHLY ADVISE all to "wave off" this attraction UNTIL such time as the facility itself is certified and objectively verified to be sound.

While this was not my first choice of places to visit it was interesting and fun. I just had to convince myself I wanted to see this. The flocked wall paper and the bling was everywhere...I found it fascinating that there were tunnels to the hotels up town so the ladies could be visited without anyone seeing the men go it...If you used your imagination you could hear the ragtime piano playing and smell the liquor from the bar. Probably was lots of noise and laughter too...

Glad we went. Got tour from mother of current owner. She was fairly knowledgeable but she needs to brush up a bit. Fortunately for us, a server at our hotel used to give tours here and told us great stories re Dumas so we were well versed, etc. Especially loved stories re secret tunnels under Butte. Brothel has 5 doors out of basement leading to tunnels for the rich patrons to enter unnoticed. Also tunnels to Chinatown for opium, etc.Lots of work needed to save place. Fund raising function the day we were there. Hope they succeed.

Dear Sandy,Thank you for choosing the Dumas for the 2014 Harley Owner's Group (H.O.G) Ride! I must say having 128 Harley Riders tour the Dumas in one day was a learning experience for sure, but a noteworthy event and one we will cherish for many years! We feel blessed to have the Dumas, particularly for sharing it with the public, which is why we are doing all of this incredible restoration work! Thanks again for coming to Montana to see us~we had a blast! Take care...Fondly,Michael

Was a wonderful visit to an often neglected side of life in a working town. Building built specifically for use as a brothel and the architecture was great. The owners and people who are reconstructing it, are doing an excellent job and I really felt that I was in a brothel for the first time(hey, I am married for over 40 years!) There were 3 floors with over 40 working rooms! A really good experience for a first timer, and even though there are no workers here, I had a better than voyeuristic experience on what it was like. This and the Mai Wah museum gave me a good view of the Uptown area. Butte has real character and is worth a visit for historical significant insight into the last century.

It is a privilege to have met you, and we love showing the iconic history that the Dumas represents, especially when it is so greatly appreciated! Folks like you are what inspire us to to continue our 'fight' to restore the Dumas! Thank you for your kind thoughts~ Michael

The Red Light district was a going concern in the Mining days of Butte Montana, The Dumas Brothel was ran from 1890 to 1982 making it the longest running house of prostitution in the United States. This is a must see if you come to Butte.
