Olive 1985 revision Matt Cohen , surveyor Perhaps the single best example in the city of the Craftsman style , this spacious house was built for Dr . C . Floyd Jump when he married Miss Genevieve Evangeline Benepe , daughter of Frank L . Benepe - an important figure in Bozeman history . The house was built on land adjacent to the large lot of Benepe ' s mansion , 201 S . 3rd . Construction of the house began in the summer of 1909 , following the wedding , which took place in Benepe ' s house . Benepe was Bozeman ' s leading agricultural implement and grain dealer from the mid-1880 ' s until the turn of the century ( see 104 W . Main St . ) In 1927 , Herman C . Dempewolf and his wife Nell D. Dempewolf were living here. By 1933 , Floyd L . Dye , president of the F. L . Dye Co . located at 30 W . Main St. had occupied the house . The F . L . Dye Co . was the descendant firm of the D. H . Budd Co . - probably the leading plumbing and heating company in the city , which was responsible for installing the plumbing in the majority of houses in the district . In the 1950 ' s , the house served as the parsonage for the First Methodist Episcopal Church . The most notable features of the Craftsman style ( displayed by this house ) include the overall form , the stucco finish , the grouped , small sash windows , and the Cobblestone piers that support the second floor overhanging bay . The design appears to have been based on " Cottage Disign No . 3047" in Hodgson ' s mail order house pattern catalog , Practical Bungalows and Cottages for Town and Country .
