1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
One of only two houses in the district attributed to local carpenter
John A. Bartholomew , brother of another local builder - Elmer L .
Bartholomew , this house is an exceptional example of the Bungalow
style in the district . The use of pressed tin as an exterior
material , in this case used in the half timber motif gables , is
very unusual . One other house in the city is known to share this
feature - 108 E . Story - a house which is similar overall to this
one , and is also attributed to J . A . Bartholomew .
In 1927 Edward E . Isaac , an instructor at Montana State College ,
lived here .
