Concisely, accurately, and completely describe the property and alterations with dates. Number the buildings and features
to correlate with the Site Map.
The building is a detached one-story commercial auto repair shop (formally gasoline service station). The building follows
an "L" shaped plan with rectangular concrete-block garage extension offset on the east. The original part of the building
consists of the "L" shaped mass with asymetrical two bay façade with customer entry door centered on the west and a
vehicle entry door on the east. The façade (south) is asymmetrical with entry door flanked by two large windows on west
and roll up vehicle door on east. The southwest corner of building has a full-height quarter-round corner, and a rounded
coping on the top of the parapet wall. A larger concrete block addition is attached to the east side of of the original "L"
building and extends full-length to the north, flush with the rear wall of the original building. Original rear projection to north
for restrooms and storage, later block addition attached to north of extension. Original service station driveway lights still
exist on concrete island where gasoline pumps used to exist. Building is on concrete foundation with concrete floors. Roof
is flat behind short parapet walls on front and sides.

The 1927 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for Bozeman (sheet 15) shows a rectangular one-story wood-framed residential
dwelling on the same lot, facing Tracy Ave with an address of 102 N Tracy Ave. The 1943 revision of the 1927 Sanborn
map (sheet 15) shows the original simple "L" shaped "Gas & Oil" service station on the corner lot. The subsequent 1957/59
and 1960 revisions to the 1927 Sanborn Map also show the same "L" shaped service station with notation that it is
constructed as wood-frame, which may have had the stucco finish treatment at that time. The additional larger vehicle bay
addition to the east, with roll-up door, was added sometime after 1960.
The Polk City Directory for Bozeman for 1935 (pg 187) lists the owner of 102 N Tracy Ave as Lloyd M. Hartley (also the
owner of the original upholstery and cabinet shop located at 15 E Mendenhall). This 1935 listing for 102 N Tracy most likely
refers to the residence on the lot prior to the construction of the service station. The Polk Directory for 1940 (pg 175) lists
the address of 102 N Tracy with the owner/occupant as Riddle's Standard Service Station - Gas and Oil. Unfortunately, no
Polk directories were published for Bozeman between 1935 and 1940. Hence, it is estimated that the original service
station was constructed sometime between 1936 and 1939. Subsequent city directories through the late 1950s indicated
the property being a service station under various different names and owners.
