108 E. Story
An excellent, modest example of the Bungalow style, this house bears the
distinctive aesthetic characteristics of the work of John A. Bartholomew,
a local builder responsible for several houses in this district. This
one is especially notable for its seemingly Jananese-inspired exposed
rafter tails, and pressed metal infill of the dado and gable panels - an
unusual exterior use of the material: This house is very similar to 807
S. 6th Ave. , also built by Bartholomew. Bartholomew's brother, Elmer L.
Bartholomew, was the most notable early 20th century builder in Bozeman.
John Bartholomew may have been a bit too ambitious in constructing
this house, for instead of hiring a plumber as was common, he opted
to install all water and sewer systems himself. The 1925 sewwer permit
for this house contains a hand-written note explaining that the sewer
pipes were installed incorrectly, and that the city would assume no
responsibility whatsoever.
i
The original occupants may have been Albert Schlechten, who worked
in the Alfred Schlechten photography studio, and W.G. Quinn. Both
are listed here in the 1927 City Directory.
