Concisely, accurately, and completely describe the property and alterations with dates. Number the buildings and features
to correlate with the Site Map.
This hospital complex is a detached three-and-one-half/four-story building constructed on an irregular plan with four large
Roman Doric columns supporting the raised two-story porch with a heavy ornamental cornice and a flat roof. The Doric
columns are made of white glazed tiles (of terra-cotta or metal) pieced together to form each column, base, and capital.
The three-bay asymmetrical façade is of brick and faces south to W. Lamme St. The original plans for the building was for
the central entry bay, with extension to north, on the east and flanked on the west by another bay. It is presumed that the
original design and plan was to supplement an additional symmetrical bay to the east as expansion was needed.
Exposures of the east elevation of the central bay show in-fill bricks with no decorative detail, indicating position for future
addition. The addition of the future bay would eventually make a symmetrical façade, but this wing was never undertaken.
The third bay at the far west of the lot was a later addition, and a modern addition was added to the east end of the lot in
the 1960s, with a completely different design. The windows on all stories of of the original (central) and early addition
(west) 3-over-1 and 6-over-one double-hung wood sash windows. Windows on the newer addition to the east are modern
sliding and fixed windows. The bearing wall construction of the older portion of the building to the west is finished in
running bond brick and rests on a raised concrete foundation that exhibits a terra cotta belly band at the level of the first
floor. The flat built-up roof of the original portion of the building has a heavy, ornamental cornice on the older portion of the
building and a concrete band around the roofline of the additions. The axis of the roof is parallel to W. Lamme St. the rear
(north) elevation has a broken face of projections and entries. The exterior wall of the second-floor operating room has a
full-height glass-block window for light. The new addition to the east is an asymmetrical one-bay mass of two-stories, flat
roof, with brick in-fill between vertical concrete buttresses. The far southeast corner of the building is removed to form an
entry way and outdoor seating/approach. Basement level of original building has exposed upper portion of wall and
"daylight" windows. Main entry single door is set in substantial stone border capped with segmented arch, dental molding,
and central crest. Substantial stone cornice with dental molding is topped with band of brick work with alternating circle
and diamond motif patterns of stone. The west wing has simpler, less classical cornice and decorative treatments. (cont.)

The 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for Bozeman, Sheet 14, shows the 2-1/2 story wood-frame building labeled
Bozeman Sanitarium located at the west end of block 108 near the intersection of W. Lamme St. and N. Tracy Ave. The
central north portion of the lot has two small storage buildings. The 1912 Sanborn Map, Sheet 8, shows the same building
as depicted on the 1904 map. The 1927 Sanborn Map, Sheet 8, shows the original wood-frame sanitarium building at the
east and the 3-story brick hospital "L" plan at the center.
A two-and-one-half story wood-frame Queen Anne Style hospital was built at the east end of the existing lot. This building
was the first centralized healthcare in Gallatin Valley created as the Bozeman Sanitarium of Dr. Foster. In 1902, Dr. J.F.
Blair purchased the building and created Blair Sanitarium. In 1911, Bozeman Deaconess purchased the sanitarium from
Dr. Blair and renamed the facility Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, managed by the Methodist deaconesses. By 1920,
growth in Bozeman's population (15,864 in 1920) necessitated the expansion of the hospital. Local architect, Fred Willson
was retained to develop a design for a 50-bed hospital and then state-of-the-art surgery and care facility. The original
sanatarium building at the east end of the the lot was retained as quarters for nurses and staff. The last of the Methodist
Deaconesses retired in 1944, and management transferred to the hospital organization. In 1944, the 3-story west-wing of
the building was added to serve as a nurses' dormitory but was converted to patient services in 1944 -- increasing the
capacity to 104 beds. In 1955, a full-time radiologist was hired and a modern x-ray department opened at the hospital. In
1956, the hospital administrators understood the future potential growth in Bozeman and purchased 500 acres at the east
end of Bozeman. In 1957, the hospital on West Lamme St. created a modern equipped physical therapy department and
two years later created a modern medical laboratory. In 1969, an intensive care unit was built at the east end of the brick
hospital, in the location of the original wood-frame sanitarium. By 1971, new construction at the east end of the lot was
completed. By 1980, the population of Bozeman had grown to 42,865 and the health-care facility at W. Lamme and Tracy
had outgrown its space. In 1986 a new 86-bed hospital was built at the new location east of Bozeman near Sunset Hills
Cemetery. The newer additions of the original hospital at W. Lamme St. were then converted to a senior nursing care
facility. The original portions of the central and west wing buildings were converted to public housing.

See Additional Information PageStatement of Significance
The property exhibits significance under Critera A, B, and C. Under Criterion A, the property is clearly associated with
events that form a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Bozeman's History during the Progressive Phase. The
property is the first substantial community operated hospital to serve the growing population of Gallatin County. Under
Criterion B, the property is associated with the life and profession local architect Fred Willson. The original first part of the
building was designed by locally and regionally renowned Bozeman architect Fred Willson, depicting one of his larger
community purpose buildings, and only hospital designed in Bozeman. Under Criterion C, the property exhibits distinctive
and unique characteristics of type, period, method of construction and style represented by the professional design
expertise of Willson and local construction. The building's façade possesses high artistic value with adaptation of classical
styles as exhibited by the cornice, porch columns, symmetrical window placement, and other details. Willson's design is a
special adaptation of then period application of classical architectural materials, incorporating design elements of the time.
The eastern portion of the property, built in the 1970s, is not a contributing element of the historic property due to an age
of less than 50 years plus a lack of significance due to no association with important historical events, people, or
workmanship.
