The Thayer House at 109 Jefferson St. in Thompson Falls in Sanders County, Montana was home of Arthur W. Thayer, a mining entrepreneur and editor of the Sanders County Ledger. The stone house, built in 1907, was described as "The most portentious residence in Thompson" by the Ledger.[2] It is "French southern Colonial" in style and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

It was built of stone from Thayer's quarry on the Thompson River, with the stone brought during the winter by teamster Eugene Preston by two four-horse sleighs.[2]
