The Hecla House, in Beaverhead County, Montana near Melrose, was built in 1881. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]

It is a one-story 18 by 28 feet (5.5 m × 8.5 m) log building, built of squared logs with dovetail notching upon a dry fieldstone foundation. It is the last standing building in the former townsite of Hecla, a company mining town below the glacial cirque headwall of Lion Mountain.[2]

It is located about 11 miles (18 km) west of Glendale on Trapper Creek Rd. #188.[2]
