Real history
Preston Boyd Moss and his wife Mattie built the 28-room house in 1903 for $105,000. Their daughter Melville lived there until her death in 1984, when a community effort saved it (Wikipedia).
Sources differ: Wikipedia says 28 rooms (Wikipedia); the Montana National Register sign calls it a 25-room structure built in 1902–1903 (HMdb: Moss Mansion marker).
