This detached two-story single-family residence has a rectangular plan with
a gable roof supported by columns defining the front entrance, a shed-roofed
sunroom to the west, and a screened back porch. The one-bay .facade is
symmetrical and consists of a central front entrance with 6/6 and 8/8 double-
hung windows with green shutters of cleat and board, with cut-outs of pine
trees. The frame construction is finished in 10" horizontal beveled siding
and rests on a concrete foundation. The gable roof is covered with cedar
shingles and features a central brick chimney. The axis of the roof is
parallel to the street. Outbuildings include a garage of similar materials.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structure/site
and surrounding area lend the property significance.
This property is significant because it is associated with a person important
in Bozeman history, Fred F. Willson. Son of General Lester S. Willson, an
early Bozeman pioneer, Willson was born in 1877 in Eozeman. He attended
Montana State College for two years and graduated from Columbia University
in architecture in 1902. He studied for two years abroad and upon his
return, Willson practiced with C. S. Haire in Helena and Butte. In his
long practice from 1910-1956, he designed many public, commercial and
residential buildings. Willson designed this residence for 'John P. Fabrick,
a Bozeman minister.
This structure is potentially eligible for the National Register because
of its historical associations and because of its architectural significance.

property.
The historic integrity of this property has been retained due to the survival
of original design and materials and continuity of use, setting and location.
