i Revision 1985
A very fine example of the Bungalow style which displays particular features
common in Bozeman, this house was probably originally occupied by Oden L. Sheppard,
an assistant professor at Montana State College. The house was probably built
in 1922, the revised date on the sewer and water permits, rather than 1915.
