James Lacy Lee House, circa 1920. Sometime after James and Louisa Lee were married they built this home on Rolling Mill Street in Helena. They both died before the terrible 1933 tornado struck the town, and Walter Simmons and his wife were living there when the tornado struck. The house was destroyed and Mrs. Simmons was killed in the holocaust. (Contributed/City of Helena Museum)
