Number the buildings and features to correlate with the Site Map. This is a 1%-story, rectangular residence of wood-frame construction. While minimally detailed, the building exhibits a basic Craftsman design. The building has a side-gable roof, covered with asphalt shingles. The primary elevation faces west; it is defined by a central, shed-roofed dormer and an open, gable-roofed entry porch. The porch has heavy, square support posts and a solid balustrade. The dormer holds a set of three, 1/1 double-hung windows. A similar dormer also exists on the building's rear(east) elevation. There is an interior brick chimney. The exterior is sided with asbestos shingles (non-original). Windows on the main floor are wood-framed, and appear to be historic; most are 1/1 double-hung units, arranged singly or in pairs. Fixed windows are present as well. The foundation is concrete, and there is a basement. On the rear of the house is a shed-roofed addition (a former rear porch) with asbestos siding. A modern garage stands behind the house. Its gable roof and walls are covered with corrugated steel. There is a double garage door on the north. East of the garage there is a small gable-roofed building with vertical board siding and 9-light windows. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Property Name: 922 North Rouse Ave. Site Number: 24 GA 1730 HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page Errol and Mattie Koch built this house in 1931 on a large parcel encompassing about 24 city blocks. They resided at the house briefly, but by 1933 apparently had vacated the property. Errol Koch was a millwright, presumably a relative of the owners of Koch & Koch Mill. That planing mill had been "one of Bozeman's prominent manufacturing institutions" in the early 1880s. The Koch family sold the house in 1936 to Laura Stinnett. Stinnett and her husband Bert immediately moved into the house. Bert Stinnett worked for the State Highway Commission as a mechanic at that time. He died within a few years, but Laura Stinnett continued to reside at 922 N. Rouse. She worked as a maid at the Baltimore Hotel. Stinnett sold the house on a smaller lot(only 12 city lots) to William and Effie Batchelder in 1950. The family resided there through the 1950s and early 1960s, possibly until the mid-1990s when they sold the house to others. William Batchelder was employed as a laborer for the Northern Pacific Railway. INFORMATION SOURCESBIBLIOGRAPHY ❑ See Additional Information Page 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 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 diminished by the installation of non-historic exterior cladding on the house.
