1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
Identical to 722 S . 7th Ave . adjacent of it , this house is an
excellent example of a very distinctive Bungalow style house type .
The two hip roofed , one-story houses with full recessed porches -
were built as a pair by local builder Ora E . Long . This house
type , spread throughout the country by popular magazines and
pattern books , is relatively rare in Bozeman . "House Design No .
2010" in Hodgson ' s mail order house pattern catalog is quite
similar , though pre-dates these specific designs ( see appendix) .
Especially notable about these houses are the bold , paneled , square
columns that support the recessed porches .
In 1927 , Clarence B . Swim , listed as assistant supervisor of the
U . S . Forest Service , and his wife Grace A . Swim , were living here .
