The Ursuline Convent of the Sacred Heart in Miles City, Montana, is a Colonial Revival structure that opened in 1884 as an educational and religious institution. After the original building was destroyed by fire in 1897, a new convent was completed in 1902 and designed by Helena architect Charles S. Haire, marking the earliest known example of his prolific career designing prominent buildings in the region. The Ursuline sisters operated a school at the convent until 1978, playing a pivotal role in establishing early educational institutions and learning opportunities for children across Montana. The building subsequently served as a mental health center and now functions as a community center. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the convent remains a landmark in eastern Montana, testifying to the Ursulines' significant contributions to the state's educational and cultural development.
