MCDONALD ARCHITECTS P.C. Acreage: Address: P.O. BOX 8163 USGSQuad: Gate: MISSOULA, MONTANA 59807 UTM•s:_ �AU6 1984 401 East Lamme Street Allyson Bristor, November 2003 RE.' (COA/ADR#Z-03284), Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition and removal of the one-and-a-half-story structure at 407 East Lamme Street, and the subsequent treatment of the physical site, located within Bozeman's Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. Physical Description: This detached one-and-a-half-story, residential structure displays extensive, physical evidence of a basement fire that occurred within the property on October 2, 2003'. The frame construction stands intact on the raised concrete foundation; however, the exterior stucco siding is stained in color and substantially damaged in material around the window and door perimeters. The hipped roof's structural system is exposed to the physical outside, due to widespread loss of the exterior shingles. The largest openings within the roof are near the west elevation. At the north elevation, the roof is sinking into the structure's interior. All window and door materials are absent and the frames are covered by pieces of plywood. The flat-roofed garage addition shows similar damage to that of the primary residential structure. Historical Significance: The structure no longer contributes to the Nationalization Phase of Bozeman's historic/architectural development, due to the extensive fire damage to the structure's primary architectural elements. Currently, the structure stands as a non-contributing element within the Bozeman's Conservation Overlay District. Integrity: Since the 1984 Montana Historical and Architectural Inventory, the historic integrity of this property was altered due to a change of use. The structure was modified from a single-family to a multi-family residence. Currently, the property retains poor integrity within the Bozeman's Conservation Overlay District.

Box 1230 Bozeman, Montana 59771-1230 ' "One dead in house fire," The Bozeman Daily Chronicle, October 4, 2001 Printable Version Page 1 of 2 lC)/C"fIU3 One dead in house fire By RON TSCHIDA, Chronicle Staff Writer A Bozeman man died Thursday night in a fire that apparently started in his basement apartment, while two tenants in an apartment upstairs escaped injury. Officials did not release the victim's name Friday because they were still trying to contact family members. The fire at 401 E. Lamme St. -- across the street from Hawthorne School -- was reported about 11:20 p.m., said Fire Chief Chuck Winn. Although Fire Station No. 1 is just a block away, the fire was rolling and smoke pouring from basement windows by the time firefighters arrived. Tenants told them they thought someone was in one of the downstairs apartments, lending an extra urgency to their mission. "Lives -- that's our first priority," Winn said. "We did everything we could with what we had ... It was too late. The reality is it was not a survivable fire by the time we got here." On Friday morning yellow fire-scene tape stretched around the house, where blackened walls were visible through broken windows. Bozeman firefighters and police and investigators from the state fire marshal's office were sifting through debris attempting to determine the fire's cause. Both a fire and criminal investigation are routine in any fire fatality, said Deputy Police Chief Bill Dove. "We don't suspect anything like (arson or another crime)," Dove said. "More than likely we're going to find out it was an accident, but we're not going to jump to any conclusions." Winn said firefighters attempted to enter the basement apartment but the fire was too intense. When firefighters determined no one could be alive in the basement, they switched to "defensive" mode, Winn said. "We have a lot of respect for fires in this kind of building," Winn said. "It's very easy for firefighters to get hurt in them. They're old, they're cut up, they're remodeled." The tan and green stucco house had been split into four apartments, two on the main floor and two in the basement. Once the fire was under control, near 2 a.m., firefighters searched the home and found the victim in the basement. Winn said firefighters could not recall another fire fatality in Bozeman since about 1991. Firefighters from the Belgrade and Sourdough departments assisted Bozeman. Alexandra Cremer, who lived in the rear apartment on the main floor, had been out with friends Thursday night and didn't learn of the fire until about 1 a.m. http://www.dailychronicle.com/articles/2003/10/04/news/Olfirebzbigs.prt 11/24/2003 Printable Version Page 2 of 2 She said five people lived in the building and at least three residents, including the victim, were home at the time of the fire. Cremer, a Montana State University student who moved into the home in August, said she didn't know the fire victim. "I didn't," she said. "I hadn't even gotten a chance to introduce myself yet."
