Revision 1985
Despite alteration to the north-projecting wing, including a large shed dormer
{ and large picture window, this house is a very unusual example of a period revival
house built in the 1930's. The house displays several motifs of the Gothic
Revival style, which was common in the 1860's and 1870's throughout the country.
As is typical of the history of this street, the house was built for a Montana
State College professor, Deane B. Swingle.
