Although of only moderate architectural significance due to a c, 1940 remodeling
of the frist floor, this house is one of the oldest in the district. A similar
house is shown on this site in the 1898 bird's eye view with a small gable wall
dormer above the entrance. The house was probably built by William M. Toepper,
a carpenter from Germany who arrived in Montana in 1884. Toepper lived in this
house until about 1920.
