This one-and-one-half story double-family residence has an irregular plan
with an open front porch on one corner under a hipped roof. The two-bay

1/1 double-hung windows and a stained-glass transomed fixed window. The
frame construction is finished in beveled siding with imbricated shingles
in the gable ends. The gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles and

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structurelsite
and surrounding area lend the property significance.
This property is significant because it is associated with a person important
to Bozeman history, Michael Langehr., who arrived in Montana from Michigan
in 1881 and established a fruit and grocery business in Bozeman in 1892.
When he purchased this house in 1902 he began growing produce himself
and expanded into a commercial floral and fruit business. When he added
greenhouses to the west and south of this house, the only other structure
in the block was at 303 South Tracy. Langohr's Nursery expanded enough so
that by the mid 1920' s , the business would move to its present location at
1 1100 South Tracy.
