One of the most significant examples of the I-House building type remaining
in Bozeman, this load bearing brick house was built by George Harrison, one
of the several black residents of the city in the 19th century. Harrison, according
to the 1892 city directory, was a stone mason who settled in Bozeman in 1876
from Utah, and roomed on Main Street. The narrow, eaves front, 1 1/2 story,
3 x 1 bay house has a single gable end bay window, typical of this building
type. Although many houses of this type were built in Bozeman between about
1870 and the early 18901s, only a few remain intact today, and none built of
brick remain, except for this one. The brick entry vestibule, an original feature,
is unusual, as is the shingled, blind central wall dormer. The other I-House
in the district, 411 N. Tracy, which is built of wood has two small gable dormers,
like this house. The porch was added to the house around 1900, as shown on
the Sanborn maps.
Harrison probably retained ownership of the house after building it, and rented
it. By 1916, William Haley, then proprietor of the Kopp Co. butcher shop on
Main St. , was the resident here, although if is not known if he was the owner.
By 1926, James E. Cordry was living here with his wife, Ida M. Cordry. The
house appears to be individually eligible for National Register listing due
to its architectural significance.
