The building does not show on the immediately previous Sanborn Map for 1889. The building was built by George Huffman, early Montana settler and Gallatin Valley Farmer in 1899-1990. Born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on August 16, 1836. In 1859 he left his work as a farmer in Missouri to search for gold in the Pike's Peak region of Colorado Territory. He served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and traveled to Kansas and later Nebraska in 1862. In 1863, Huffman went to the Dakota Territory, on to Iowa, then to Virginia City, Montana, in on August 19, 1864. After more traveling through Montana Territory, along the Missouri from Fort Benton to Saint Joseph, Missouri, he returned to Montana via the Bozeman Trail in 1866. He farmed his ranch in the Gallatin Valley for the duration of his life and maintained a residence in Bozeman (A.W. Bowen & Co., "Progressive Men of The State of Montana," Vol. 2 pg. 1691). George Huffman died in Bozeman in 1903, but his family continued to live in the residence on East Mendenhall at least through 1950 when George's son Hugh still lived in the house in 1960 (Polk City Directory for Bozeman, 1950, pg. 78).
