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 1'/-story vernacular residence of wood-frame construction, roughly rectangular in form. The intersecting T-
gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The building has wide-lap Masonite-type siding (non-historic). There are
double-hung 1/1 windows present, as well as large fixed windows. At least some of the windows are non-original, in
non-historic openings. The foundation is concrete. A gable-roofed addition of similar construction is at the rear of the
residence; it may have been an enclosed rear porch.
This house appears to have originally been the architectural twin of the house at 318 North Rouse.
On the northeast side of the house is a detached one-stall garage. It measures 14 x 18 feet and has a steep-pitch
gable roof, wide-lap siding, and out-swinging plywood doors (non-historic).
There is also a 8 x 12-foot shed on the property.)

HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page
In 1889 and 1890, James Anderson acquired two 25-foot-wide parcels at the future location of 322 N. Rouse. It seems
likely that he immediately built or had built a house on-site where he, his wife Jennie, and their children lived until
sometime between 1900 and 1903. It is very possible that Judd Dunham was the actual builder. He is thought to have
constructed a nearly identical house next door at 318 North Rouse in 1890. When members of the Anderson family
sold out after James Anderson's death, Judd Dunham was the buyer. Over 15 months between June 1903 and
September 1904, the house passed through the hands of several parties until it reached the Frank G. Latta family.
Frank Latta purchased the house and 50-foot-lot for$600 in 1904, and he and his heirs kept it until 1951. Latta held a
variety of blue collar jobs over the years, working as a teamster, expressman, contractor, laborer, and even briefly as a
policeman. By 1927, Walter G. Latta, thought to have been Frank's brother, moved into the house with his wife Luella
and lived there (occasionally with Frank in residence) at least into the early 1940s. Walter was also a teamster from the
mid-1910s to the mid-1920s, and later worked as a driver for Erickson Taxi Service.
Frank and Mildred Hallstead acquired the house in 1951; their presumed heirs sold the property by about 1956. In that
year, the house was occupied by another blue-collar family, the Walter and Dora Pattens. Walter worked as a painter
for Ivan Ellerkamp.
The tax assessor reports that the detached garage is a modern addition to the site, built in 1993. A small shed on the
property is considerably older, however, reportedly dating to about 1920.

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 rear addition may not be original.
