Matt Cohen 217 S. Third
Revision 1985
Of marginal architectural significance due to alterations to the porch, projecting
bay fenestration and asbestos siding, this house is nevertheless significant
' for its large size, and as the home of a former Bozeman mayor, Edmund Burke.
The original owner was probably William L. Holloway, of the law firm Holloway
& Hoffman, Holloway is listed here in the 1900 city directory. From about
i 1904, when Holloway moved to Helena, through the 1940's the house was occupied
by Edmund Burke, a chemistry professor at Montana State College and Bozeman
mayor of 1927, and by 1935, Ed Burke, Jr. , a lawyer and county attorney.
On the 1891 Sanborn Map merely the foundation of this house is shown.
