Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This is a one-story rectangular building with concrete-block walls and a concrete foundation. The concretre blocks are rounded at the building corners and the edges of fenestration areas. The building's flat roof has stepped parapets all around, symmetrical on the east elevation, and stepping downward (to the west) on the north and south elevations. The primary elevation faces east; it is marked by a large opening at the center that probably once housed an overhead garage door. This is now a recessed entry area containing large, metal-framed commercial windows and a full-light person door. Other windows on the building are largely original; these are U5 light steel-framed units. There are additional entries on the north, east, and south sides, all of which have aluminum-framed glass doors with windows. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 109 North Rouse Ave. Site Number: 24 GA 1689 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page Prior to 1932, apparently no building stood on the north end of Lots 17-19 in this city block. By 1933, Andrew Aarli had established a cabinet-making shop at this location. At that time, the parcel was owned by Ernest J. Parkin, a real estate agent. In 1935, Parkin, who conceivably could have built the shop to Aarli's specifications, sold the property to Aarli. Andrew and brother Gutterson Aarli worked out of the Rouse Avenue shop until shortly before the beginning of World War II. In the fall of 1941, Aarli sold the lots and building to Gene Miller and Mary Brown. During their ownership, the shop was used for a short time as the garage for City Taxi. After World War II, the building housed auto sales and repair businesses (including Sullivan Motors and Wally Reed's Garage), the Nash-Davis Machinery Company, and the field office for the contractor Albert Lalonde Company. The new, aluminum-frame doors were part of extensive renovation that the building underwent a few years ago. INFORMATION SOURCES/BIBLIOGRAPHY ❑ See Additional Information Page R.L.

Buildings of this scale and function are scattered throughout the northeastern Bozeman area, and their presence is a characteristic of the neighborhood. Most were constructed during the early years of the twentieth century, and this is a relatively late example. Consequently, it shares few visual similarities with earlier commercial buildings in the area. The design is heavily utilitarian, with the only detail provided by the rounded concrete-block corners and stepped parapet walls. The building's location near the intersection of Bozeman's commercial and northeast residential areas is relflective of its mixed retail and workshop history. This building is potentially significant as a representative example of period vernacular commercial/industrial architecture, as well as for its association with the twentieth-century growth of Bozeman and its commercial trades. The building, however, suffers from a diminished level of historic integrity(as described below). Because of this loss of integrity, the building is no longer a high-quality example of its type, and is not independently eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. INTEGRITY(location,design,setting,materials,workmanship,feeling, association) ❑ See Additional Information Page This building retains integrity of location and setting. Other aspects of integrity have been slightly diminished by non- historic alterations to the building's exterior. The most prominent of these changes is the removal of the original garage door on the east elevation, and its replacement with modern commercial windows and an inset entry.
