Inn R /, t i � $,- n r I 212 S. Tracy A unique example of the Bungalow/Craftsman style in Bozeman, this house was built in 1915 by Charles Wright, a cook. The house replaced an earlier, 19th century house on this lot. The rough, quarry-faced brick - indicative of the Craftsman style - is unusual in Bozeman. A recent brick wall built below the north eave of the suspended gable roof of the corner proch is the only significant detraction to the overall architectural quality of the building. F, In 1912, Wright was listed as a waiter at the Bush & Bruce restaurant at 5 E. Main, where he presumably later became a cook. By 1927, Michael H. Crowley, a sheep rancher, was living here.
