Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This building is a vernacular, wood-framed multi-family residence containing four small apartments, end-to-end. Overall massing is roughly rectangular, with the long front elevation facing Beall Street(to the north). The building rests on a concrete foundation. Most of the building is beneath an east-west gable roof; the far eastern end of the building is beneath a north-south gable, and there is a gabled extension to the south at the western end. All roof surfaces are covered with asphalt shingles. Walls on the portion of the building occupied by the two western apartments are sided with shiplap; the remainder of the building is sided with wide asbestos shingles, which may or may not be original. Doors are paneled wood with half-light windows. Windows appear to be largely modern units in historic openings, although some openings have been slightly resized. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 310-318 E. Beall St. Site Number: 24 GA 1737 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page This set of apartments was almost certainly built in 1926 by Leonard Flanigan. He acquired the four city lots on which it stands in late 1925 from H.O. Seelye. Flanigan began by building the first unit on the east, closest to Bozeman Creek, and had completed it by 1927. A second unit was added by 1931, and the other three units by 1933. Flanigan rented these very small apartments to a long series of mostly working class laborers for many years. Examples of the renters' professions were laborer and warehouseman for Associated Seed Growers, cook, waiter, bartender, maid,janitor, farmhand, carpenter, and baker. Renters included single men and women (the latter often widows) and married couples. During the 1930s and early 1940s, some of the occupants lived there for several years in a row, but by the 1950s the longest occupancy was about three years. From the late 1940s to mid-1950s, owner Leonard Flanigan and his wife Anna also lived there, switching between apartments as certain ones became available or perhaps as they performed maintenance work on each. In 1958, he divided the four city lots on which the apartment building stood into north and south halves. The apartment stood on the north half, and this parcel he deeded to James and Dan McReynolds. The McReynolds continued to rent the units to others until they sold them at some unknown date.

Buildings of this scale and Ifunction were frequently seen in working-class neighborhoods in turn-of-the-century American towns, and a number of examples of this building type exist in Bozeman's northeastern residential neighborhood. This portion of the community was home to much of Bozeman's small industrial area -- primarily devoted to the processing and shipping of agricultural products --and consequently, much of the neighborhood's residential component served blue- collar workers and their families. In general, these buildings were smaller and less ornate than those found elsewhere in the town. The bulk of the neighborhood's homes were constructed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of growth for the town of Bozeman as a whole, and particularly for the northeastern neighborhood, which benefitted from proximity to the newly-constructed Northern Pacific and Milwaukee Road railway lines. This building is potentially significant as a representative example of period vernacular residential architecture, as well as for its association with the early growth of Bozeman and its agricultural industry. The building, however, is not a quality example of the type, and may suffer from a diminished level of historic integrity (as described below). No site- specific historical significance is known to be associated with the building. For these reasons, the property 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 probable non-historic alterations to the building's exterior. These changes include exterior siding which may partially be of a non-historic pattern and materials, and non-historic windows. Sizes of some window openings have been altered.
