Matt Cohen, surveyor
This simple, well preserved Bungalow bears the subtle yet distinctive
traits indicative of the work of local builder Elmer Bartholomew. Those
traits include the broad gable, widely projecting eaves , and spacious hip
roofed porch, all executed within the subtle confines of one builder's
individual style.
The first resident and perhaps the original owner, was probably Joseph B
Nelson, an assistant agronomist at the Montana Agricultural Experiment
Station (Montana State College) . In 1927, Harry L. Smith was living here.
