This modest Bungalow is individually eligible for the National Register due to the
exceptional visual impact of its unique design. In basic form, the house is typical of the
numerous other houses of this style in Bozeman. The design of the porch and other
decorative features however, set this house apart from all others in the city. The
stuccoed porch consists of large square paneled columns supported by massive battered piers
which are spanned by a solid porch rail. Two large, glazed panels enclose the broad area
between the columns, each bordered by small, clear lights. The rafter tails that trim the
main block and porch roof eaves are also of note, for they project beyond the roof
surfaces, and taper toward the tips. The house was built in 1926 for Louis G. Hines, a
millwright with the Montana Flour Mills Co. , and his wife, Ida M. Hines. The Hines'
occupied the house into the 1940's, and possibly longer.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
This detached, one-story, single family residence has a rectangular plan with a gable
roofed glassed-in front porch with side access. The porch features battered columns
covered with pebble finish stucco. The two-bay facade is asymmetrical and consists of an
off-center front entrance with fixed and double-hung windows. The frame construction is
finished in bevel wood siding with wooden shingles in the gable end. The structure rests
on a raised concrete foundation. The gable roof is covered with brawn asphalt shingles and
features overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails, as well as a central brick chimney.
The axis of the roof is perpendicular to the street. Outbuildings include a detached one-
bay garage. -
