PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Describe present appearance of structure/site,then contrast and compare that with it's original appearance,
noting additions,alterations,and changes in materials.Discuss significant architectural features.
This detached two-story single-family residence has an irregular plan with
a two-story bay extension projecting from the main hall and another two-story
bay projection in front of that with a gable roof. The front entry is
protected by a shed roof supported by brackets. The frame construction
is finished in drop siding and shingles in the gable ends. Corner boards
form a trim to the drop siding. The foundation is of rubble stone covered
with concrete and has a 8" belly band above the stone. The
many-gabled roof is covered with red asphalt shingles and features full
returning eaves and a central brick chimney. Windows are 1/1 double-hung
and fixed and two leaded glass windows in front. The axis of the main
roof is parallel to the street and outbuildings include a one-and-one-half
story, drop sided garage with a gable roof to the rear.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structure/site
and surrounding area lend the property significance.

Gallatin Valley. Born in 1836 in Ohio, he came west to Montana in 1864
homesteading on Bozeman Creek in 1865. His ranching holdings included more
800 acres.

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