The first of the buildings on the current site appears on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps of Bozeman for 1891 (sheet 8), 1904 (sheet 6), 1912 (sheet 21), 1927 (sheet 23), 1927/rev. 1943 (sheet 23), and subsequent maps. The earlier maps label the building as "Cold Storage" or "Refrigeration". Beginning with the 1927/ rev. 1943 Sanborn Map (sheet 23) the one-story wood-frame with metal clad exterior appears on the property (Bldg. #2 and #3). Hence the building was constructed sometime between 1927 and 1943. The configuration of the building is like it is today with a central rectangular mass labeled "Machinery Warehouse" and flanked by two common-wall sheds labeled "Mach'y Shed", one on either the west and east sidesof the main warehouse. The 1957-59 revision of the 1927 Sanborn Map (sheet 23) shows the full compliment of buildings related to the grain elevator, storage structures, and related buildings that are known today. The 1957-59 map labels the complex as the Farmer's Union Grain Terminal Association built in 1948. The buildings depicted include four cylindrical steel grain tanks (each 64 ft high) with a capacity of 37,720 bushels (Bldg. #4), and wood-crib bins within the enclosed elevator building having a total capacity of 52,000 bushels (Bldg. #5). The elevator building has a central mass that extends 6 stories with the two wood-crib bin wings extending 4 stories each. The north side of the elevator building as common-wall projections including a vehicle access/unloading bay, offices, and warehouse storage rooms, all one-story each. A separate detached rectangular one-story wood-framed metal-clad grain storage building (Building #6) is located south of the the elevator building, across the railroad spur track that terminates at the west end of the lot. The Polk City Directory for Bozeman lists the Farmer's Union Grain Terminal Association elevator being located at 24 N Wallace Ave in 1950 (pg 105) listing a Elmer R.

In 2014, there are only three. The Ag Depot facitily (known historically as the Farmer's Union Grain Terminal Association) remains as an important elevator, one of the last historic vestiges of its type throughout the state and Gallatin County. The development of this elevator at the terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad aided in the continues development of Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley as one of the primary agricultural centers of Montana. At a time when grain farming was focused on numerous small family farms, local elevators were important as terminals between the farms and the distant centers connected by the railroad. This specific elevator complex is one of the last remaining vestiges of this mid- 20th century operation. NRHP Criteria:XA B XC D See Additional Information PageIntegrity (location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, association) Although this property has experienced some architectural modification it holds strong elements of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association to support a recommendation for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The complex design and functional use of materials, layout, and workmanship is key to interpreting the property's unique history and architecture. The property's association with historic and current railroad lines, the historic industrial/transit areas of Bozeman, and other extant elevators in the area all add to the uniqueness of the property.
