early Bozeman pioneer, Willson was born in 1877 in Bozeman. Ile 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. The age factor has qualified the potential significance of this structure.

The northeast corner lot of this intersection has the most recently-built single
family residence in the District. It was designed by architect Fred F. Willson and
built in 1950-51 . It is a one story frame building , with its siding painted white.
The building has a hip roof, large picture windows and a red brick fireplace chiii,ney
on the south wall . There is an attached garage on the east portion of the building
opening onto W. Cleveland . Although built in the 1950 ' s, the pleasing com[)Osition of
this design makes it compatible with its neighboring structures , and the fact that it
was designed by Willson ties it to other homes in the District that he built in his
earlier years of practice.
26. 922 S. Willson
This house also was designed by Fred W.-llson and was built in 1950-51,. It is an
example of his work after 40 years in the practice of architecture.
