1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
A fine example of the Bungalow style and situated on a prominent
corner lot , the Ketterer House makes a significant architectural
contribution to the district . It was most likely built in 1914
for ( and possibly by) Augustus A. Ketterer , son of Emil Ketter ,
a prominent wagon maker and blacksmith whose brick house at 35
N . Grand ( c . 1900 ) is a major historic landmark in Bozeman today .
Augustus Ketterer is listed in the 1904-5 city directory as a
woodworker employed by Emil Ketterer , and residing at 19 N . Grand -
probably the brick house noted above . From the 1910- 11 through
the 1927 directories , and perhaps later , Augustus is listed at
this address and in the same occupation , though in 1927 he is listed
as a farmer .
A house appears on this site on the 1912 Sanborn Map , though the
small south ell and recessed porch do not appear , as they do on
the 1927 Sanborn Map - probably an indication that the present
house replaced a previous one on this site .
