Montana A to Z: Everything’s a short drive in remote Hi-Line town of Havre: Family lives in, renovates historic post office, courthouse

If nothing else, it’s affordable housing. They could fix it up and rent out part of it.

That’s what Marc Whitacre and Erica Farmer thought when they purchased a three-story former post office and federal courthouse in downtown Havre, population 9,700, located on the Hi-Line less than 50 miles from the Canadian border.

The two eye doctors and their three children have been living in the basement since 2012, as they worked to repair the 35,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1932 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
