1985 revision
Matt Cohen, surveyor
One of the outstanding examples of the Bungalow style in the district, this
house occupies a prime lot facing Cooper Park, and was clearly built as part
of a pair, along with 408 S. 6th Ave. next to .it, which is very similar.
Both houses, characterized by bold ornamentation such as battered porch
columns, and window and door surrounds, are unique in the district, but
are similar to several Bungalows found in the Tracy-Black Historic District.
The history of this house remains unknown. The name Harry E. Gates appears on
the 1912 sewer permit, but in none of the city directories. In 1927 the house
was occupied by an associate professor at Montana State College, H. Elwood
Morris, and his wife Francis W. Morris.
