This well-preserved, eaves front house, which is punctuated by two
gable wall dormers , was built by William L. Perkins in 1881 at a
cost of $300.00. The house originally had only one central door.
His father-in-law and business partner Hiram H. Stone, built a
1 vartually identical house orignially nextddoor to this one, 408 S.
Black. Stone's house however, is punctuated by two shed wall
dormers, and has undergone considerable alteration. The 1898
Bird' s Eye View shows both houses as a distinct pair on this street.
Perkins, who settled in Montana in 1870 from Ohio, was listed as
Bozeman Police Magistrate in 1892.
By 1900, John W. Nelson, a farmer, was living here.. Nelsons sons ,
Frank and Lester, soon established the "Nelson Bros. " Livery and
Cab Line business, which operated from this site. The two brothers
lived in 312 and 316 S. Black, respectively, at various times. In
1927, this house was listed as vacant.
