MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 707 North Rouse Site Number: 24 GA 1721 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page The house at 707 N. Rouse was built in 1958 or 1959. Lewis Herrin had purchased the two lots on which the house would stand in 1955. At that time, Herrin, a warehouse supervisor for Montana Seed, lived four blocks to the north on Rouse Avenue. The new house was completed and he began living in it in 1959, by which time he was promoted to the position of plant manager for Montana Seed. Herrin continued to own the house until his death, in the mid-to late 1970s.

Houses of this scale and level of detailing were typical of working-class neighborhoods in period 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 potentially significant as a representative example of period vernacular residential architecture, as well as for its association with the 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 listing in 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 the exterior wall cladding, which is likely non-historic.
