1985 revision
Matt Cohen, surveyor
This imposing Bungalow style house is one of the strongest architectural
elements in this southern portion of the district, and was clearly built
by Elmer Bartholomew, Bozeman' s leading early 20th century builder (see
statement of significance) . Bartholomew's hand is indicated by the overall
massing and design, as well as the porch and dormer detailing. Some of the
virtually identical houses in the district built by Bartholomew are
504 W. Main, 519 W. Babcock and 522 S. 6th.
i
i The house was probably built in 1919 for Walter F. Chauner, who by 1927
was secretary of the Gallatin Lumber Co. In 1927, J.C. Taylor, director
of the Agricultural Extension Service at Montana State College, was living
here.
