brick chimney. Outbuildings include a garage.

This property was built for William H. Williams, a professor at Montana State
College. Two years later, the house was sold to Henry Pease, a local jeweler
and Bozeman mayor in 1890. The house remained a Pease residence until 1936
when Augustus Strand, purchased it and lived here during his presidency,
1936-1942.

district due to its association with the residential aspect of the Civic
Phase of Bozeman 's historic/architectural development.
