1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
A very significant example of residential design of the 1930 ' s
in Bozeman , this house displays a typical gable front Bungalow
form, along with unusual features such as battered , stuccoed
walls , and a stuccoed porch supported by heavy corner piers . One
of the more elaborate residences built during the Depression ,
the building is attributed to local builder Eugene F . Crail .
The adjacent 310 S . . 7th Ave . is also attributed to Crail .
The house was listed as vacant in 1933 , the home of Crail
himself in 1935 , and the home of Harrison Hollis in 1940 .
Crail may have built the house speculatively around 1930 , and
afterward had difficulty selling it .
