HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structurelsite i
and surrounding area lend the property significance.
This property was built for Martin Gary who arrived in Bozeman about 1900 to
set up a grocery, and later, a grain business. Arriving with Gary was his
brother, John. The two brothers built side-by-side within a few years of
each other. When Martin Gary moved to Livingston, Montana, his brother
then moved into his brother's house.
This structure qualifies as a contributing element within, a potential historic
district due to its association with the residential aspect of the Civic
Phase of Bozeman 's historic/architectural development.
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 design and materials and continuity of use, setting and location.
INFORMATION VALUE: Explain how the extant structurelsite may demonstrate or yield information about its historic use or construc-
tion.
None.

402 S. Black
One of the most architecturally significant houses in the district,
this well-preserved house, a combination of the Queen Anne and
Colonial Revival styles which was probably derived from a pattern book
jdesign, was built around 1907 by Martin Gary. Just a few years earlier,
Martin Gary' s brother, John P.- Gary, built an equally impressive
house at 326 S. Black, originally next door. The caliber of the two
houses , originally built on one large lot, is more typical of the
j prestigious Bon Ton Historic District, rather than this more middle-
class district.
In 1910, John and Martin Gary were proprietors of the "Gary Brothers"
wholesale and retail grocers , located at 118 W. Main, as well as the
"Gary Bros. & McDonnell Elevator Co. " - traders in hay and grain , and
owners of a grain elevator on the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks ,
at the foot of N. Wallace Ave. By 1916 the latter business was
named, "Gary Bros. & Gaffke Co. , Inc. "
I
John Gary moved into this house sometime in the 1920's. His wife,
Helen, was a clerk for the Montana Flour Mills Co.
Some of the features of this house are similar to parts of "House
Design No. 2069" in Hodgson' s turn-of-the-century house pattern
catalog (see appendix) .
