This property is significant because this residence is associated with a person important to Bozeman history, Robert P. Vivian. Arriving in Montana in 1864, Vivian, a lawyer, was a member of the two legislative assemblies of 1872 and 1873. He served in -Gallatin County as District Attorney for four years. Vivian built this residence for himself in 1884 and lived here until his death in the early 1890' s. This structure qualifies as a contributing element within a potential historic district due to its association with the residential aspect of the Civic Phase of Bozeman 's historic/architectural development. i INTEGRITY: Assess the degree to which the structurelsite,and surrounding area accurately convey the historical associations of the property. The historic integrity of this property has been retained due to the survival of original design and materials and continuity of use, setting and location. INFORMATION VALUE: Explain how the extant structure/site may demonstrate or yield information about its historic use or construc- tion. I None. f FORM PR GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: ' MH V.

Tracy One of the most architecturally significant houses in Bozeman dating from the building boom triggered in the early 1880's, this well detailed brick house was built by R.P. Vivian - Bozeman pioneer, lawyer and county judge. The house is located on a prominent corner lot, and is an important element inz.a very cohesive streetscape. ` Vivian was born in Minnesota, and lived in Texas and Mexico before arriving in Montana in 1864. He served as a member of the two Montana legislative assemblies in 1872 and 1877, and as district attorney for the second judicial district for four years. He was also a member of the Constitutional .Convention of 1884, representing Gallatin County. By 1900, the house was under different ownership, probably Charles Esgar.
