Revision 1985
An excellent example of the Colonial Revival style, this gambrel roofed, brick
veneer and wood shingle house was occupied by Roy E. Martin, a rancher and banker,
for about forty years or more. Ira. L. Kirk, an agent for the Northern Pacific
Express Co. , is listed as living at this address in the 1900 City directory,
though an article in the Avant Courier of the same year reported that Kirk had
bought the modest house at 703 S. Grand, and planned to move in soon. Martin
was probably the next owner, and is listed in city directories between 1904
and 1940 variously as farmer, stockman, and assistant cashier and bookkeeper
for the National Bank of Gallatin Valley. The house is very well preserved.
No evidence has been found to verify information on the 1984 inventory form
that Samuel and Susan Mendenhall were the original owners and John Baverly the
builder.
