This property was built for John P. Gary who arrived in Bozeman about 1900
to set up a grocery and later a grain business. Coming with Gary from
Michigan was his brother Martin. The two brothers built side-by-side
within a few years of each other. GThen Martin Gary moved to Livingston,
Montana, John Gary then moved into his brother's house.
This structure is potentially eligible for the National Register because
of its historical associations and because of its architectural significance.

One of the most architecturally significant houses in the district,
this well-preserved house, which is an unusual derivation of the
Queen Anne style, was built in about 1903 by John P. Gary. Gary's
brother, Martin Gary, built a house of similar style and significance
at 402 S. Black, originally neXt door. The caliber of the two houses ,
originally built on one large lot, is more typical of the 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 gratin 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."
William E. Crowley, a sheep breeder, was living here in 1927, after
John P. Gary had moved into 402 S. Black.
