HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structure/site

This residence property was built for George W. Highsmith, a blacksmith.
Born in 1851 in Illinois, he settled in Bozeman in 1879 where he worked for
Frank Harper at Harper's shop located at 237 East Main. In 1882 he bought
out Harper and continued the firm under the name of Highsmith, Scully
and Company as blacksmiths and wagon manufactures.
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.
