Matt Cohen, surveyor
This excellent, well-preserved example of a modest, gable front Bungalow
is almost certainly one of the many houses built by Elmer L. Bartholomew,
Bozeman' s leading early 20th century builder (see district statement of signi-
ficance) . Indeed, Bartholomew' s name appears in the margin of the sewer
permit, written in pencil , which suggests his involvement. The house stands
next to another house attributed to Bartholomew, 705 S. 6th. Two other
Bungalows built by Bartholomew that are very similar to this one in the
district are 418 W. Curtiss and 515 S. 6th. Others exist outside the district,
such as 803 and 808 W. Babcock. Sanford Moore, a rancher, may have been
the original occupant here, and resided in the house at least as late as
1927.
Cox & Kountz, a real estate agency, probably handled the initial sale
of the house.
The Moores may also have built 709 S. 6th Ave. for rental .
