1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of the finest examples of the Colonial Revival style
in the district , and identical to 522 W . Olive St . across
the street , this house was built at the beginning of Bozeman ' s
early 20th century building boom. Unfortunately , very little
history of either of these prominent , corner lot buildings
is presently known .
As early as 1922 , and well into the 1930 ' s , Ralph E . Bodley
was living here . Bodley was the County Agricultural Agent
in 1927 .
