619 W . Olive
1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
A typical example of a common eaves front form of the
Bungalow style , this house was probably built by local
carpenter Rube A. Young . This house , and 615 W . Olive
next to it , are isolated from the rest of the W . Olive
St. streetscape to the east by house lots of S . 6th Ave . ,
which follow a north-south orientation .
Young signed the water permit for the site in 1911 , and
was listed as the resident of 721 W . Olive , probably the
same house , in 1912 . By 1927 , Walter L . Mecklenburg ,
and his wife Dora J . Mecklenburg , a teacher at the
Gallatin County High School , were living here .
The house is very similar to 401 W . Curtiss .
