Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This is a one-story, L-shaped residence of wood-frame construction. Minimal Craftsman architectural detailing is present. The gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles, and Craftsman-style angled brackets are present in the gable- end eaves. Rafter tips are exposed. There is an interior brick chimney and a stovepipe. The exterior is sided with wide lap siding (non-original), and the windows include double-hung, fixed, and plate units. Windows are a mix of original and modern units; the picture windows near the front door are probably in non-original openings. The front entry is on the south side under a fiberglass-roofed overdoor. The foundation is concrete. A shed-roofed garage has been attached to the southwest corner of the house; it is probably non-historic, and includes a paneled-wood overhead door. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 605 North Rouse Ave. Site Number: 24 GA 1716 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page Readily available information suggests that the house at 605 N. Rouse was built in about 1924. In that year, Jeremiah Sawyer gained title to one of the two lots which now comprise the property. Sawyer was a long-time Rouse Avenue resident and property owner. He and other members of the Sawyer family (Alson and Joseph) owned lots in the 300- 600 blocks of North Rouse in the early 1900s, through the late 1920s in some instances. They resided at 314 and 404 N. Rouse (modern addresses)just after the turn of the twentieth century, during which time the city directories noted they worked as laborers. In fact, it is possible that they built houses in the neighborhood at that time, and conceivably the one at 605 N. Rouse was one of them they built. Jeremiah and his presumed brother Alson held the five lots on which the house at 605 N. Rouse stood until 1936. Renters between the late 1920s and mid-1930s included E.F. Menzel (musician), Robert and Helena Milne (employee of Bozeman Canning Company), Orville and Eugenia Bucker (oiler), Ross and Bessie Ego (lineman), and Therlow and Alice Leach (clerk). Frederick Simpson purchased the five lots and three houses (601, 603, and 605 N. Rouse) in 1936 for$1800. During his ownership of this collection, to 1944, renters included Robert and Ethel McHaney (laborer), Henry Buffington (laborer for the Bozeman Canning Company), and Frank and Nellie Frizzel (laborer). Alice Duranceau purchased the house at 605 N. Rouse from Simpson in late 1944 and held the property for 5'/years. She resided there with her husband Peter. The next owners were Herbert and Jean VanHoose, who lived in the house throughout most(if not all) of their ownership. Herbert VanHoose was a buyer at Pacific Hide and Fur Depot. The family sold the property in 1969. INFORMATION SOURCESBIBLIOGRAPHY ❑ See Additional Information Page 1912 and1927 Sanborn maps R.L. Polk& Company.

Houses of this scale and level of detailing were typical of working-class neighborhoods in American towns, and it is the characteristic building type in Bozeman's northeastern residential neighborhood. 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. It is a relatively late example in this neighborhood. The building retains an acceptable 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.
