HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structure/site
and surrounding area lend the property significance.
This property .is significant because it is associated with a person important
in Bozeman- history, Fred F. Willson. Son of General Lester S. Willson, an
early Bozeman pioneer, Willson was born in 1877 in Bozeman. He attended
Montana State College for two years and graduated from Columbia University
in architecture in 1902. He studied for two years abroad and upon his return,
Willson practiced with C. S. Haire in Helena and Butte. In his long practice
from 1910-1956, he designed many public, commercial and residential buildings.
L. L. Brotherton was associated with Cassius Kind in a seed pea business and
in 1916 established the Bozeman Canning Company. About 1940 Brotherton
became interested in fruit canning, establishing the frozen food company of
Pictsweet, Inc.

of its historical associations and because of its architectural integrity
of materials, location, setting, design and use.
