The building represents broad understanding of local Bozeman and southwest Montana's regional history of post- World War II commercial expansion and development. The property is also a prime example of Willson's later design work in Bozeman, hence representing a significant person in Bozeman's history. Also, the building, although subjected to some architectural changes, represents a high level of workmanship to realize Willson's plans, representing the level of construction execution in Bozeman during the mid-20th century. The building is a fine example of Willson's mid-20th century design ideas, within the context of the full-range of Willson buildings in Bozeman. NRHP Criteria:XA XB XC D See Additional Information PageIntegrity (location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, association) Although the building has undergone some changes, the property retains elements of historic materials, workmanship, design, setting, workmanship, feeling and association to justify a recommendation for defining the property as a an individual property or contributing element of a potential historic district typifying Bozeman's commercial developments during the Postwar Expansion Phase. Although some alterations to the original design and materials have occurred since the date of original construction, most exterior changes have been undertaken in a manner that they are reversible, thus allowing future restoration. Most of the subsequent changes to the exterior have been carried out in a sympathetic manner to the original design and materials.
