Research in the sources consulted in this survey has not yielded any significant historical information concerning persons or events associated with this property. Matt Cohen 309 Lindley Revision 1985 An interesting combination of 1880's and 1930's architectural design, this small house gained a shallow bay window, various detailing, and a bright blue stucco finish around 1930. Though the original owner may have been Biggs, by 1892, Albert E. Davidson was living here, and remained until sometime between 1912 and 1916. Davidson was listed variously as the superintendent of the city water works, the manager of the same, proprietor of a bowling alley, and an electrician, between 1892 and 1912. He settled in Montana in 1887, and may have been the original owner of this house. Bibliography Application for Sewer Connection: May 10, 1909, A.E. Davidson.
