Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This building is a 1 1/4-story house, wood-framed and on a concrete foundation. The building consists of a simple rectangular mass and is vernacular in style. It is clad with modern, narrow-lap siding and has a clipped-gable roof surfaced with asphalt shingles. Eaves are very narrow. Doors and windows are all modern units; most windows are metal-framed casement units in non-historic openings. The main entry(to the north) is topped by a small gable porch, and a shed-roofed porch is at a secondary door on the east elevation. A small rectangular outbuilding (likely non-historic) exists near the northeastern corner of the property. It is wood framed and sided, and has a shed roof.. PAGE 3 Property Name: 315 E. Beall Site Number: 24 GA 1738 ❑ See Additional Information Page In 1903, Nels Knutson purchased all of Lot 16 of Beall's First Addition for$800. This 1.1-acre parcel probably contained one or more houses at the time, but none stood at the future location of 315 E. Beall Street. Sometime between 1904 and 1918, Knutson built the house at that address, and he and his wife Elida began living in it. Nels Knutson died in the late 1930s, but his widow continued to reside on Beall Street until about 1946 when she also died. The administrator of her estate immediately sold an 88 x 155-foot parcel that contained the Knutson house to Dorothy Sheppard. Sheppard, an apparent developer and investor in Bozeman real estate in this general neighborhood, held the deed until 1956. By 1950, Clarence and Irene Collier had made some kind of financial arrangement with Sheppard to eventually buy the house. They moved into it by that date, received title in 1956, and retained possession past the end of the historic period. Clarence Collier was an equipment operator for the City of Bozeman. He died in about the late 1950s, but his wife continued to reside at 315 E. Beall for some undetermined period. ❑ See Additional Information Page 1904, 1912, and 1927 Sanborn maps R.L. Polk& Company.

Houses of this scale and level of detailing were typical of working-class neighborhoods in turn-of-the-century American towns, and it is the characteristic building type 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 houses 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 house, therefore, 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, 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 diminished by non-historic alterations to the building's exterior. These changes include exterior siding of non-historic pattern and materials, and non-historic windows in an altered fenestration pattern.
