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 one-story, irregularly-shaped, vernacular residence of wood-frame construction. The cross-gable roof is
covered with asphalt shingles. The exterior is sided with drop siding and has double-hung 1/1 windows. Cladding and
windows are both historic. There is a shed-roofed front porch (historic) in the building's southwestern ell. The
foundation is concrete. The cellar is accessed at the rear of the building where there are enclosed stairs down to the
cellar.
There are three rear additions to the building in total. Two are on the east elevation and are shed-roofed. The third is
on the southeast corner of the building. It has large, south-facing screen windows and a shed roof. Its form suggests it
was used as a chicken house. The additions are at least partially historic, and are minimally visible from the front of the
building.
The tax assessor records note that there are two sheds on the property. The first measures 16 X 29 feet, and
reportedly dates to about 1910. The other is 8 X 16 feet and was erected in about 1960.

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 rear additions to the house, at least some of which appear to be historic. These additions
are minimally visible from the street, and do not substantially detract from the house's overall appearance.
