301 S. Black
One of the most significant houses in the district, this narrow "I=
House" which bears slight Italianate style detailing, is one of only
f two houses of this quite early house type, relative to Montana, in the
city which remain well-preserved. Though this house was built in 1880,
j it is typical of the 1870's - a period from which very few buildings
survive in Bozeman. The only non-contributing feature of the building
is the enclosure of the entry porch, which was certainly originally an
open porch.
George Nichols, a real estate and insurance salesman who settled in
Montana in 1870 from Illinois, built this house in 1880 for $3000.
By 1912 Nichols had become the vice-president and treasurer of the
Nichols-Robinson Implement Co. In 1927, Mary E. Wessel , a teacher,
was living here.
