The Austin North House, also known as The Castle, is a historic house in Billings, Montana. It was built in 1902-1903 for Austin North, his wife née Hattie Swartz, and their five children.[2][3] North was a native of Iowa and he split his time between Billings and San Antonio, Texas.[3] He was the president of the North Real Estate Investment Company, a real estate, mortgage and insurance company.[3] He died in 1928.[3] By the 1970s, the house was in mixed use, with stores on the first floor and residential apartments on the upper floors.[2]
The house was designed in the Medieval style by Link & Haire, a prolific Montana-based architectural firm.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 23, 1977.[1]
