Source of Information:
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 3/4-story, rectangular, vernacular residence of wood-frame construction. The foundation is concrete. The
front-gable roof is covered with galvanized corrugated steel and is pierced by a single stove pipe. The exterior is sided
with shiplap (drop) siding. All windows are 1/1 double-hung units; they appear to be historic. The paneled entry door is
modern. There is an enclosed front porch which has drop siding and a shed roof. The porch was not originally
enclosed, but the date of its enclosure is not known. On the rear of the building is a gable-roofed addition, likely post-
dating the original house but it is of compatible design and materials.

HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page
This house is one of those in the 500 block of North Rouse Avenue which were built sometime in the 1890s or early
1900s prior to 1904. Although the parcel lines have changed since first described, it appears that the houses at 513,
515, and 517 N. Rouse all stood on single parcel until 1905. RTI was unable to determine a complete chain of title, but
by late 1902 Elizabeth Wright owned the large lot. In that year, she sold it to Mary Urguhart Lee, who like Wright before
her apparently did not occupy any of the three houses.
The next owner, George Ellis, who gained title in 1905, was responsible for dividing the large lot into three parcels, one
for each of the houses. Between 1905 and 1928, 513 and 515 N. Rouse passed quickly through the hands of several
parties, initially as two separate parcels but later again as a combined, single parcel for the two houses. None of the
owners resided at the house. The first owner to hold the property for any significant length of time was William Fields.
He acquired the house in 1917 and held it for 11 years. He did not reside in the house, and in fact apparently did not
reside in Bozeman.
In 1930, Annie Johnson Kannegaard purchased the house at 515 N. Rouse, which by that time stood once and for all
on its own lot. A widow, Kannegaard lived there with Helen Kannegaard, presumably a daughter, for a short time. In
1933, however, Charles and Jessie Hoshaw rented the house, while Kannegaard or perhaps her estate still owned it.
Presumed Annie Kannegaard heirs owned the house until 1937, at which time they sold it to Lora Thompson.
Lora Thompson and her husband Warren occupied 515 N. Rouse into the early 1960s. Warren Thompson had died by
1965, and shortly thereafter his children deeded the house to another party.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE ❑ See Additional Information Page
This building is a quality, 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 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 retains a high level of
historic integrity, although no site-specific historical significance has been attributed to the house. This building is a
contributing resource to a proposed North Rouse Avenue Historic District.
INTEGRITY(location,design,setting,materials,workmanship,feeling,association) ❑ See Additional Information Page
This building appears to largely retain all seven aspects of National Register integrity. The only substantial changes to
the property appear to be the enclosure of the open front porch, and the construction of a rear addition. These changes
were accomplished using wholly compatible materials, and the dates of the changes are unknown.
