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. The age factor has qualified the potential significance of this structure.
