Concisely,accurately,and completely describe the property and alterations with dates. Number the buildings and features to
correlate with the Site Map.
This is a one-story, L-shaped, vernacular residence of wood-frame construction. It is sided with wide lap Masonite-type
siding. The intersecting gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The windows are largely modern units in non-
historic openings; both sliding and double-hung 1/1 units are present. The enclosed entry is inside the southwestern ell
of the home, under a shed roof. The foundation is concrete, and was likely added after the building's construction.
There is a shed addition on the building's southeastern corner; it is roofed and sided with the same materials as the
house
This house appears to have originally been the architectural twin of the house at 322 North Rouse.
On the southeast side of the house is a detached, one-stall garage. It has an asymmetrical gable roof, suggesting that
it may have been added to (probably on the north). The garage has wide-lap siding and a modern paneled metal
overhead door.

HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page
Judd Dunham purchased the 50 x 134-foot lot on which the house at 318 N. Rouse stands in 1890. Acquiring it from
William and Mary Perkins and Howard and Bertha Stone, the developers of the Perkins and Stone addition, he paid
$150. Presumably shortly thereafter, he built the house on the lot. Dunham was a teamster who had moved to
Bozeman from Wyoming in 1888. He resided at what was then called 230 and later 236 N. Rouse with his wife Barbara
until 1906, when they sold out for$625.
The next owner and occupant was Catherine Duke. She lived at the house for most if not all of the 10 years that she
owned it. She was a widow of George L. Duke.
When Duke sold the house and lot to Emma V. King in 1916, that began a 30-year period during which three members
of the King family(Emma V., Harold W., and Lloyd F.) owned and sometimes lived on the property. From the early to
the late 1920s, Emma King rented the house to Coy C. Crum, a barber, and then Claude and Mary Crum, the former a
watchman at Montana State College. By 1933, the King family took up occupancy at 318 N. Rouse, first with Lester
and Sarah residing there in the early 1930s, and then Emma residing there into the mid-1940s. Emma King's husband,
Robert, also resided at the house until his death in the late 1930s.
The detached garage on the lot reportedly dates to 1936. This indicataes it was erected about the time Robert and
Emma King moved to 318 N. Rouse.
In 1946, Lloyd King sold the house and 50 x 134-foot lot to Beatrice Hallford, who about one year later sold them to
James and Cora Chaney. The Chaneys resided at the house while owning it. James was a truck driver at that time.
The house changed occupants at least three times between the mid-1950s and early 1960s. Owners and occupants
during those last few years of the historic period were Jospeh and Mary Herron, William and Alice LaRue (he a driver
for the Gallatin Farmers Company), and Richard and Edna Dahl (he a carpenter).

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE ❑ See Additional Information Page
This building is a representative example of a small, largely vernacular home from the late nineteenth/early twentieth
century. 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 neighborhoods. 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 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. In addition, the enclosed front porch may not be original.
