wide-lap siding. Windows include 1/1 double-hung, fixed, and plate windows; all windows are wood-framed, and many
are non-historic units in new openings. The gable-roofed, open front porch has square wood posts and a solid
balustrade, also sided with wide-lap siding. The foundation is concrete. On the rear or north side of the house, there
are non-historic shed-roofed additions which have the same siding has the main portion of the building.
A wood-framed, one-stall garage is behind the main house. The gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles and the
walls covered with wide-lap siding. The garage door opens on an overhead rail.

HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page
This house was built in 1930-1931 by or for then-owner R.G. Gallup. Gallup and his wife Clara never lived at the house
and immediately sold it to Roy Marks. Marks and his wife Beulah moved into the house in 1931 and remained there
until the end of 1939. During their ownership, Roy Marks worked as a laborer for the City Parks Department.
When the Marks family left the house, they deeded it back to Gallup, who retained ownership for the following four
years. Again, Gallup did not reside at 802 N. Rouse. Renters in the early 1940s included Ray and Lamoine George
(laborer) and Arth Kirk(trucker). Like Gallup, the next two owners, A.R. Mackleberg and Dorothy Sheppard, did not live
there. They owned numerous properties in Bozeman and undoubtedly considered 802 N. Rouse useful primarily for
investment purposes.
Before Dorothy Sheppard sold the house to Nanna Terpstra in 1946, she divided the four full city lots on which it stood
into three separate parcels. The house at 802 N. Rouse stood on the southernmost of the three; Sheppard
subsequently sold the remaining two parcels to other parties who built houses on them. Terpstra retained ownership of
the house and reduced land parcel for at least 22 years. She initially rented the house to family members, Ray and
Hermina Terpstra (driver and feed man for Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association). Later renters included John
and Marilyn O'Donnell (laborer for Corcorau Pulpwood and then employee of the National Guard) and Thomas and
Rosemary Zentner(packer for the Montana Flour Mills Company). The Zentners later purchased the house and
Rosemary Zentner continues to live there to the present day.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE ❑ See Additional Information Page
This building is a representative example of a small, largely vernacular home from the early twentiech 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 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 early 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 greatly diminished 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 substantial non-historic structural additions.
