asymmetrical and consists of an offset glass-paned front entrance inside
the addition, with two double-hung windows of a 2/2 sash arrangement on
each side of a corner of the main facade. There is also one 2/2 window
in the center of the second level . The frame construction is finished in
asbestos siding and rests on a concrete foundation. The gable roof is
covered with reddish asphalt shingles and features boxed, overhanging eaves.
There are two central brick chimneys. The axis of the roof is
perpendicular to the street. Outbuildings include a garage of shipboard
siding.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Justify how the persons,important events,and/or historical patterns associated with the structure/site
and surrounding area lend the property significance.
This property is significant because this residence is associated with a
person important in Bozeman history, Emil Ketterer. Ketterer, an emigrant
from Germany, came to Bozeman in 1878 to set up his blacksmith trade. His
business increased and his was the largest blacksmith and carriage shop in
operation. Kis brother-in-law, Louis I:rueger, a businessman, lived across
the street at 317 North Bozeman. Together they built a larger home in 1901
for Ketter at 35 North Grand (on the I.R. ) . There the Ketterer family resided
until the late- 1960s.
Significance: This structure qualifies as a contributing element within a
potential historic district due to its association with the residential
aspect of the Village Phase of Bozeman ' s historic/architectural development.

property.
