Matt Cohen , surveys
Probably one of the five Bungalows built by local carpenter Guy
A. Ensinger that were noted in a 1917 article in American
Builder magazine , this house is a typical variation o the
Bungalow style which was spread across the country largely
through magazines and pattern books . The house is nearly
identical to the adjacent 721 S . 6th Ave . , also built by
Ensinger , and very similar to two houses built by Ora E . Long ,
718 and 722 S . 7th Ave . nearby. All of these houses are similar
to " Bungalow Design No . 2010" presented in Hodgson ' s house pattern
book : Practical Bungalows and Cottages for Town and Country ( see
appendix) .
In 1927 the house was occupied by Earl B . Norris , dean of
English at Montana State College .
