central brick chimney is present. The building is sided with vinyl siding (non-historic). The foundation is concrete.
Windows in the building include double-hung 1/1, sliding, and large plate configurations; most are modern, in non-

HISTORY OF PROPERTY ❑ See Additional Information Page
In October 1889, Daney A. Cole purchased a 134 x 200-foot lot from developers Perkins and Stone. He immediately
added a 100 x 200-foot lot to the west, so that his total parcel on N. Rouse measured 200 x 234 feet. It seems likely
that he built on a house on that very large lot within a short time. When he sold the lot in 1904 to John Pritchard, he
charged $1200 for the property. Pritchard and his wife Martha held the property for three years, during which time they
lived there with some of their eight children (the address at that time was 260 N. Rouse). John Pritchard was an Alder
Gulch pioneer who had been born in Wales. He was a resident of the Gallatin Valley beginning in 1870.
In 1907, Joseph and Johannah Reese acquired the property. The Reeses moved into the house and apparently stayed
there until 1917 when they moved to Belgrade. Joseph Reese was the son of Thomas and Mary Jane Reese,
prominent ranchers and farmers.
The Reeses sold the house and a 50 x 234-foot lot to William Shelton in 1917. Shelton apparently never lived at the
house, and in fact leased it back to Joseph and Johannah Reese during the early 1920s under a loan agreement. The
Reeses repurchased the house in 1924 and held the title until just after World War II.
In 1946, Marvin and Madge Parsons bought the house and lived there for a shop:time. Parsons was a driver for Nash
Finch while living at 416 N. Rouse. Charles and Mildred Arnold bought the house in the mid-1950s, also living there for
only a short time. Mr. Arnold was a warehouseman for Montana Flour Mills. The last occupants during the historic
period were Earl and Arty Horsford. Mr. Horsford was a cat operator for the Idaho Pole Company.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE ❑ See Additional Information Page
This building is a representative example of a small, largely vernacular home from the late nineteenth/early twentieth
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 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 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 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 alterations to the former garage building.
