I had to do some research on this one but here is the answer to both of your questions:

Cooperative weather observations began at Great Falls on January 1, 1892 from a location at the end of Central Avenue across Park Drive. Observations were collected by C. L. Herzog until June 30, 1898. Robert Deardorf continued data collection at this site between July 1, 1898 and May 31, 1901.

How about in what year did the Weather Service move it's location from the International airport to the current location on Tri Hill Frontage Rd?

On July 5, 1913, the observation location was moved onto the grounds of the United States Post Office at 1st Avenue North, between 2nd and 3rd Streets is that when??
