This property is significant because this residence is associated with a person important in Bozeman history, Hiram H. Stone. Stone was born in Vermont in 1819, came to Montana in 1862 and settled in Bozeman in 1871. He was engaged in farming, mining and stock raising. With his son-in-law William L. Perkins and son Howard, he was involved in some land development in northeast Bozeman, the Perkins and Stone addition. Son Howard was engaged in Bridger Canyon logging, in the stone Creek region. This structure is a neutral element within a potential historic district. INTEGRITY: Assess the degree to which the structure/site,and surrounding area accurately convey the historical associations of the property. The historic integrity of this property has been retained due to the survival of original materials and continuity of use, setting and location. i INFORMATION VALUE: Explain how the extant structure/site may demonstrate or yield information about its historic use or construc- tion. None. 1° v FORM P E RED BY: GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: �AI�PES R. f�;CDO1lALD ARCHITECTS P.C. Name 'v-, 2163 Acreage USGS Quad: Addres Vi y A MONTANA 59807 Date• __ UTM's: 408 S. Black This simple, vernacular, eaves front house, which is punctuated by two shed wall dormers, was built by Hiram H. Stone, probably in 1881. The house has lost considerable significance due to near complete altera- tion to the fenestration, covering with aluminum siding, and non-sympathetic additions. Stone' s son-in-law and business partner, William L. Perkins, built a virtually identical house originally next door to this one, 320 S. Black. Perkin' s house however, is punctuated by two gable wall dormers. The 1898 bird' s eye view shows both houses as a distinct pair on this street. IStone was born in Bridport, Vermont in 1819, and at age 25 headed west. In 1844 he engaged in the grain business in Chicago, and five years later i tried mining in Chicago. One year later, in 1850, he returned to Chicago and became a land examiner for the Illinois Central Railroad Company. Stone took the first steamer up the Missouri to Fort Benton in 1862, and arrived in Bozeman for the first time in 1871. In 1872 Stone became one of the first men to visit Yellowstone National Park, which was created in 1871, and his wife became the first white woman to visit the park. By 1877 Hiram Stone had become one of the first to settle along the Yellowstone. Driven from that land by the battle of Canon Creek, he returned to Bozeman, where he built this house, and engaged, in mining, farming, stock raising, and other pursuits. By 1900 Stone no longer lived in this house. Bibliography Leeson, pp. 1163,1272. City Directories: 1892, p. 153; 1900; 1916; 1927.
