Grand Revision 1985 One of a few late 19th century, tri-gabled brick houses in Bozeman, the Cockhill House is a very significant element in the district despite the two large picture windows, which pierce the load bearing walls to the north and south. The house terminates a strong streetscape which includes three other very signficant struct- ures, and occupies a highly visible corner lot at the north end of the district. Across the street to the north are prominent historic buildings which will be nominated to the National Register individually. The vernacular house is one of numerous residences built in the district by a member of Bozeman's professional community, attorney Henry C. Cockhill, and is one of only a few built in the 18901s. Cockhill came to Bozeman from Missouri in 1979, and built this house in 1890. The Weekly Courier noted on June 26 of 1890 that: "The neat brick cottage of Attorney Cockhill, on Grand Avenue, is ready for the roof. " Cockhill is listed in city directories at this address as late as 1900 - the last available directory previous to the 1904-5 directory, which lists attorney Eugene B. Hoffman as the resident. According to undocumented information on the 1984 survey form, Eugene Hoffman, son of state senator Charles Hoffman, bought the house from Cockhill in 1902. Hoffman, whose name appears on the 1916 sewer permit for the site, may have added the wrap around porch, which was constructed some time between 1912 and 1927. The porch is a contributing element to, the historic integrity of the building. According to Mandy Todd, a summer school teacher for the Hope Lutheran Church across the street, the house has been the rectory for the church for about forty years. The house has been for sale throughout the summer of 1985, and rumors have circulated that the church plans to tear the house down for a parking lot.
