The Kalispell Monumental Company, at 7 First Ave. E. in Kalispell, Montana, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]

It was built to serve as a tombstone and monument retail company store, as a branch of Spokane's Sammis Monumental Company. Because it would receive and process marble and other stone blocks, being located next to a railway was necessary.

It was designed by Kalispell architect Joseph Gibson and was built at cost of $12,000.[2]

It later served as Main Street Motors and as Glory Day Emporium.[2]
