Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. 1. The earliest reference to the residence at 434 North Tracy Avenue is from 1904. The Sanborn Maps show that the residence was constructed with a large southern side yard which is typical of the North Tracy Historic District. The plan shows a front-facing L-shaped plan and a footprint of approximately 1,026 square feet. An open porch is located on the interior of the"L."Two additions are evident on the rear of the structure. The house was constructed on or slightly over the northern property line. An accessory structure is located in the northeastern-most corner of the property along the 15-foot alley. The 1912 Sanborn Map shows no changes to the site. the 1927 Sanborn Map shows significant alterations to the east(rear) additions. The easternmost addition appears to have been removed, the house was extended to the south and a rear porch was added. The accessory structure also appears to have been slightly enlarged. The 1927-1943 Sanborn Mapp show no changes to the site. The August 1984 Montana Historical &Architectural Inventory describes the property: "This detached one-story single-family residence has an L-shaped plan with open front porch on the interior of the ell. The porch roof has flared eaves. The two-bay fagade is asymmetrical and consists of a central glass-paned front entrance flanked by two sliding sash windows. The frame construction is finished in horizontal and diagonal wood siding."The inventory also provides information documenting water and sewer permits for this residence that date back to 1915. Overall, the property is described as a neutral element because its historic integrity has not been retained due to changes in original design and materials. The current site survey and analysis reveals additional renovations since the last 1943 map. The"U shaped porch was removed and with portion being enclosed and added to the living room.An open front porch with one square column is located on the interior of the"L"and connects to both front-facing stairs and a side-facing concrete ramp with a wood railing. Along the east elevation, it appears that the entire back porch was enclosed and a small 2-foot addition was added. The wood-frame construction is finished in horizontal wood siding. Note that while there is diagonal wood siding on the shed and rear 4-plex, the original residence only has horizontal wood siding which is inconsistent with the inventory. The prominent front gable has a 12:12 roof pitch and includes an extended 6:12 concave secondary roof over the porch, one double-hung window and a square gable-end vent. The front entrance appears to have been modified and is now a solid door with no flanked windows. The south side elevation includes one double- hung window within the cross gable. The east rear elevation includes aluminum slider windows and doors.A lower-pitched (3:12) secondary roof appears to cover an early building addition. This rear portion of the building also includes a wood deck, concrete stoop and concrete patio partially covered with a trellis structure. The footprint along the north elevation protrudes over the northern property line by approximately 1.5 feet. This elevation has one double-hung window. A home inspection completed in 2006 reveals a few more details of the construction. The residence is wood-frame and does not appear to have any sheathing under the siding. The foundation is made of fieldstone. The roof consists of asphalt composition shingles and includes the remains of an abandoned chimney. 2. There is a 200 square foot shed at the end of the concrete driveway pad. 3. There is a two-story 4-plex that was constructed in 1978/1979 in the rear yard off of the alley. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE Property Name: 434 North Tracy Avenue Site Number: 24GA0961 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑See Additional Information Page This residence was constructed pre-1904 and is associated with the general residential aspect of the Civic Phase of Bozeman's historic/architectural development. Deed research at the Gallatin County Clerk & Recorder's Office and through the Polk Directories reveals some of the history through ownership and occupants. The original owner is unknown. The first ownership information available is from the 1918 Polk Directory which reveals that Frank Price, a clerk for the Post Office resided at the property. In 1922, deed records indicate that Mr. Price and his wife Sadie Price sold the property to Arthur Rundlett who was a printer for the Chronicle and lived in the residence from approximately 1922-1929. Jason F. Bowles, a bookkeeper for Associated Seedgrowers, Inc. and Anna M. Bowles resided at the house from 1931-1938. The next available documented resident change occurred in the 1940 when Charles Harold King, a manager for Northern Auto Company, and his wife Helen moved into the house and stayed until 1944. In 1947 Bayard R. VanGieson, an employee of the Idaho Pole Company, and his wife Helen lived there, and in 1950, the resident was Merle Biladeau, a cab driver. Sometime in the mid-1950s, Charles Harold Etug [spelling unclear from handwritten records] sold the property to William and MaryAnn Hendershott. Mr. Hendershott was a chief clerk cashier for the Northern Pacific Railroad. In 1959, Mr. Hendershott died and left the property with his wife who lived there until 1978 when her children sold the property to William & Bettyann Phillips. The Polk Directory from 1978 states that the property was vacant and the 1979 version lists a total of five units. The four-plex was likely constructed in late 1978 or early 1979. In 1981, the Phillips sold the property to the City of Bozeman who subsequently allowed Reach, Inc., an organization that provides vocational and residential community support for people with developmental disabilities and survivors of traumatic brain injuries, to use the property's five residential units as a community residential facility. [Note a discrepancy here with the 1984 architectural inventory which states that the owner is still Phillips.] In 1986, the City gave the property to Reach, Inc. for continued use as a community residential facility. In 2008, the City Commission approved the demolition of the dilapidated front residence and the construction of a new residence in its place. Demolition and construction are scheduled for Spring 2009. INFORMATION SOURCES/BIBLIOGRAPHY ❑See Additional Information Page 1904, 1912, 1927, 1927-1943 Sanborn Maps.

A 15-foot gravel alley exists along the rear property line. Mature vegetation includes two ash trees in the front yard, one ash tree in the boulevard, mature caragana hedges along portions of the northern property line and lilac hedges along portions of the southern property line. A narrow concrete pathway connects the front concrete parking pad to the ramp, porch and main entrance. Some damage to the concrete is likely from tree roots. A home inspection was completed in January of 2006. This inspection revealed that, structurally,this residence is dilapidated with a substandard foundation and major movement of the floor structure, bowing walls, sloping floors, significant decay to the wood fascia, soffits, siding, and trim. Some of this deterioration is due to the lot having a negative slope. As noted in the 1984 Inventory, the historic integrity of this property has not been retained due to changes in the original design and materials. Refer to attached drawings and photographs.

With the demolition of both structures and construction of a new two bedroom house, Reach is pursuing permission to demolish the existing four-plex at the back(east)of the lot with intentions of replacing it with a new four-plex in the same location. As previously stated, the four-plex was likely constructed in late 1978 or early 1979. In 1981, the Phillips sold the property to the City of Bozeman who subsequently allowed Reach, Inc., an organization that provides vocational and residential community support for people with developmental disabilities and survivors of traumatic brain injuries, to use the property's five residential units as a community residential facility. In 1986, the City gave the property to Reach, Inc. for continued use as a community residential facility. The fourplex is currently in a state of disrepair due to poor quality of the original construction as well as lack of maintenance. It's wood clapboard siding is rotting and in need of paint and repair. Wood framed decks on the upper level which were covered in concrete are settling and sloping excessively indicating structural failure. Wooden stairs to the upper levels are also failing. Because the structure is '/z story below grade with one story above, it suffers from water, drainage, and ice issues. It's inaccessible configuration does not serve the current residents who are of various levels of physical disability. The structure is to be demolished in Spring 2011 when it will be replaced with a new four- plex which will be comprised of 3 ground level accessible units and one upper level unit.
