This detached one-and-one-half story single-family residence has a
rectangular plan with an open front porch. The shed-roofed porch has a
decorative wood cornice and is supported on bracketed, wood-turned posts ,
and has a spindle railing. The one-bay facade is asymmetrical and consists
of an off-centered front entrance with fixed and 1/1 double-hung windows.
There is a bay window to one side. _ The frame construction is finished in
asbestos siding with a different color in the gable ends. The structure
rests on a rubble stone foundation. The gable roof is covered with grey
asphalt shingles and features a gable-roofed dormer and one central brick
chimney. The axis of the roof is perpendicular to the street.

and: Though covered by asbestos shingle sheathing, this vernacular, gable front house
appears to retain all of its considerable Queen Anne style detailing. The very
ornate porch is especially noteworthy, for it is one of the few elaborate examples
of Queen Anne style ornamentation in Bozeman. Varieated shinglework probably
remains intact beneath the asbestos shingles as well.
Previous deed research suggest that Augustine and Minnie McNeal, along with
George Behringer, became the first owners of this site in 1886. Neither name
appears in the 1892 city directory, though this house appears on the 1890 Sanborn
Map. From at least as early as 1900, Charles A. Backes, who settled in Montana
in 1892 from New York, lived here and remained until his death some time in
the 1920's. Backes was a saloon keeper in the 1890's a grocer by 1900, and
a farmer and rancher by 1910. He served as a city alderman in 1904. The sidewalk,
which was paved in 1906, bears the name Charles Backes in front of the house.
Backes' wife, Christine Backes,lived here until about 1934, following the death
of her husband. The house stood vacant in 1935, and by 1940, Bert Christie,
a laborer, was living here.
Christie later built 216 Lindley in 1947.
