offset glass-paned front entrance with double-hung windows with a 1/1 window

ends are of diamond paned glass. The frame construction is finished in asbestos
siding and rests on a concrete foundation. The cross-gable roof is covered
with grey asbestos shingles and features one gable roofed dormer. There is one

Revision 1985
A very significant example of the Colonial Revival style relative to Bozeman, this
house is an important element in the streetscape for both its architectural signi-
ficance and its large size. Were it not for the asbestos shingle sheathing, the
house would probably be of primary significance in the district.
William L. Holloway, a lawyer with- a firm Holloway & Hoffman, probably built this
house speculatively. From about 1900 to 1904, he lived at 217 S. Third, until moving
to Helena.
