1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyo ,
This modest , Bungalow style house is of only marginal architectural
significance , but is an interesting example of Depression period
infill . It was built for Mabel Cruickshank in 1939 , the year
following the death of her husband , Peter J . Cruickshank . It was
built on the site of a former house built in 1917 by Elden C .
White .
The name Cruickshank is associated with the construction of several
houses in the district . This one , like some of the others , was
probably intended for rental . In the 1940 city directory , Mrs .
Cruickshank is listed as living in Apartment E in 116 S . Black ,
and Fred L. Morris , along with his wife Blanche , is listed as
! living in this house . Morris was the office manager of the
" U . S . A . A . A. " in Bozeman , according to the directory .
