Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This is a 1'/z-story, irregularly-shaped, vernacular-style residence of wood-frame construction. The primary building mass has an end-gable configuration, with wings/additions to the north. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The exterior is sided with stained vertical boards (non-historic, and visually incompatible with the original design). The windows include both casement and 1/1 double-hung units; all are modern, and most appear to be in non-historic openings. There is a small, gable-roofed porch with wood support posts on the front of the house. The foundation is concrete, and there is a partial basement. On the rear of the house is a shed-roofed addition. A one-stall garage is attached to the house. It has a gable roof and a paneled-wood overhead door. This appears to be non-historic. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 534 North Rouse Ave. Site Number: 24 GA 1711 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page Jennie and Frank Aldrich built the house at 534 N. Rouse in about 1896. That was the year she acquired the property from Rowena and Alden Webster, their neighbors to the south (526 N. Rouse). RTI was unable to find a listing for the Aldriches in the available city directories for the years that they owned the house; apparently they lived in Logan for at least a part of that time. In 1904, the Aldriches sold the property to Joseph Burrell. He may also have lived in Logan and continued the practice of leasing the house to renters. The first known occupant of 534 N. Rouse was Coretta Sallee, who apparently rented from the Burrell family between about 1925 and 1927. At the time, Sallee, a widow, was employed as a helper at the Everett B. Clark Seed Company; she later worked as a laundress for the Gallatin Laundry Company. She lived in the 500 block of North Rouse until about 1936. Her(presumed) children Cloy, Gloyd, and Lavoy also lived at the house during part of that time. Coretta Sallee apparently died in about 1936, and during the following year or two her son Cloy Sallee and his wife Betty rented the house. Cloy was a plumber. At about the time the Sallee family first occupied 534 N. Rouse, the Burrell family lost ownership due to non-payment of back taxes. William Burrell and Sarah Landers, perhaps owner Joseph Burrell's children, regained the property via a tax deed in 1926. In 1938, Charles Esgar, a widower, purchased the house. He held it to about the end of World War II, but never resided there himself. During most of Esgar's ownership, Stacy and Helena Clayton rented the house. Stacy Clayton worked as a laborer for Bozeman's water and street departments. The Clayton purchased the house in 1945, but immediately sold it to Anna and David Murk. The Murks chose to live at the house for the five years that they owned it. During that period, David Murk worked as a carpenter. The last owners during the historic period reportedly were William and Theresa Patten. They resided at 534 N. Rouse at least into the early 1960s. William Patten worked for Montana State Colle-qe as_a ianitor and caretaker._ INFORMATION SOURCESBIBLIOGRAPHY ❑ See Additional Information Page 189a-1904 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 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, has been heavily altered -- siding is non-historic and visually incompatible, and the fenestration pattern has been altered. Due to the loss of integrity caused by these changes, the building is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and is a non-contributing resource to a proposed North Rouse Avenue Historic District. 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 largely destroyed by non- historic alterations to the building's exterior. These changes include exterior siding of non-historic pattern and materials, non-historic windows in an altered fenestration pattern, and probable non-historic structural additions. HISTORICMONTANA .
