Revision 1985
Bozeman' s finest surviving example of the shingle style, this house is in an ex-
cellent, strat- f preservation, with the exception of the porch, which has been
completely reconstructed of modern design. Nelson Story, Jr. , proprietor of the
-- Story Iron 41orks and son of Bozeman pioneer and millionaire Nelson Storm, lived
here from at least as early as 1900, to at least aslate as 1912, and possibly
longer. The distinctively broad-gabled house appears as the only house on its
block on the 1898 Bird' s Eye View of the city.
There is so far no evidence that the house was built in 1895 for Joseph Baker.
