Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This is a 1 1/2-story, vernacular residence of wood-frame construction, largely rectangular in plan. The gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The exterior is sided with modern, vertically-scribed wood siding (probably plywood or T-1-11). The house has a mix of historic 1/1 double-hung and modern casement windows. The front entry is under a large gable-roofed overdoor(historic). The house stands on a concrete foundation with basement. The garage, attached to the south end of the house, has a shed roof with a flat front parapet, the same siding as the house, and a metal overhead rolling door. It is non-historic. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 822 North Rouse Ave. Site Number: 24 GA 1728 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page This is one of three houses in the 800 block of North Rouse that Dorothy Sheppard had built right after World War II. This house dates to 1947-1948, and, because of its age and developer, shares several design characteristics with 808 and 810 N. Rouse. Presumably just as the house was completed, Sheppard sold it to Leander Theisen in early 1947. The Leander and Mary Theisen family moved in within the next year and stayed at the house until they sold it in March 1951. Theisen was a carpenter at the time. In 1953, after the property passed through the hands of a few owners who held it for very short periods, Owen and Ruby Brown purchased 822 N. Rouse. The Browns retained ownership for some unknown period, but certainly were the last owners and occupants during the historic era. Owen Brown owned the O.O. Brown Trucking Company while residing on North Rouse. INFORMATION SOURCES/BIBLIOGRAPHY ❑ See Additional Information Page 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 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 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 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 a non-historic garage.
