  1. A Billings banker dreamed bigger than Billings itself. In 1916 he hired the architect of Canberra to design a utopian “Garden City” on the prairie west of town—circular boulevards, a grand rail hub, room for 100,000 people. Then the railroad went to Laurel instead. Today only a road sign called Mossmain remains.
