The building has a rectangular footprint, with a concrete foundation. It has a low-pitched hipped roof, with gabled dormers. The roof is clad in asphalt shingles. The exterior walls are clad in brick veneer and the gable ends are covered in horizontal siding which appears to be vinyl. The primary entrance is on the south façade, facing a paved parking lot to the south. The entry is recessed, with an angled wall to the west and banked fixed and casement windows spanning the façade. The entry is covered by the overhang of the roof and a paved sidewalk provides access to the public ROW along 7th Street. Metal casement and fixed windows span the west and north elevations. The east elevation was obscured from view by a hedge planted on the east property line. Overall, the property is in excellent condition but is not historic. It has not previously been recorded. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 History of Property Property Name: 120 N 7TH AVE Site Number: 018 HISTORY OF PROPERTY Prior to construction of this building in the 1980s, the property was originally purchased from the U.S. Government by William H. Tracy on June 15, 1872. He platted it as Tracy’s 2nd Addition on May 16, 1883. A house was built on this property prior to 1891, based on the Sanborn maps and Gallatin County deed records (Sanborn Map Company Jul 1890). Some history of past land owners, most likely associated with the previous structure at this location, are as follows: Mary M. Jones purchased this property on March 30, 1907. Mary M. (Jones) Jones was born on October 27, 1838 in Llandewi, Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales to John and Jane Jones. Mary came to the United States with her parents when she was three years old. Mary married Thomas Jones on July 7, 1858 in Dodgeville, WI. Mary Jones died on September 4, 1913 of pneumonia, after which she was buried in Sunset Hills Cemetery in Bozeman, MT (Findagrave.com 2004). Mary M. Jones owned this property when she died in 1913. Following her death, her heirs agreed that Jones’s daughter, Lillie Moffett, should have the free use and occupancy of the house until the estate was settled (Ancestry.com 2015). David and Dora Williams purchased the property on May 15, 1915. David N. Williams was born in Pomroy, Ohio to Noah and Mary Williams in 1857. David Williams and Dora Moore were married at Reese Creek, Gallatin County, MT on April 24, 1892. Dora was born in Malad, Idaho to Amoes B. and Celia Moore on May 13, 1870. David and Dora lived in the Springhill, MT area for a time. David was postmaster in Springhill and farmed in the area. David and Dora moved to California between 1924 and 1929 (Gallatin County Deed Records 72/357 and 72/358). David Williams died in Los Angeles, CA on August 16, 1928. Dora Williams died in Los Angeles, CA on November 28, 1945 (GHM Vertical File). Blanche Jones purchased the property on March 19, 1921. Blanche Luce was born on August 14, 1876 in Warren, Ohio to Thomas and Sarah (Seaman) Luce. Blanche came to Montana with her parents in 1891. Blanche Luce married Evan D. Jones October 6, 1897 in Great Falls, MT (Independent-Observer 1 September 1938). Blanche lived in Bozeman, MT for many years. Blanche sold the property in 1936 and died two years later on August 26, 1938 from a cerebral hemorrhage in Waco, TX. She is buried at Hillside Cemetery in Conrad, MT (Findagrave.com 2004). Margarite (Jones) McCrosson was the daughter of Blanche Jones. Dave and Emily (Button) Douma acquired the property on February 2, 1938. Dave Douma was born on June 26, 1897 in Friesland, Netherlands to Douwe and Hinke (Feddema) Douma. Dave came to the Gallatin Valley in 1913 (The Bozeman Daily Chronicle July 1980). Dave Douma married Emily Button on October 10, 1929. They worked on the family farm near Anceny, MT. After farming for many years, the family moved to Bozeman in 1936-1937. Dave worked as a Watkins Company salesman for many years (R. L. Polk & Co.; personal communication with Alice Douma, February 21, 2020). Watkins was a manufacturing and distribution company that sold consumer products with an independent salesforce (Watkins1868.com). Emily Button was born on April 12, 1910 to Lillian May and Alson Button of West End, Montana. She, along with her family, moved to Bozeman in 1916 (Bozeman Daily Chronicle 27 May 2005). Emily Douma died on May 24, 2005. Dave Douma died on July 9, 1980. Dave and Emily Douma are buried together in Meadowview Cemetery in Manhattan, MT (Findagrave.com 2004). On May 24, 1982, Robert and Sheryl “Sherry” Essig purchased the property and demolished the pre-1891 residence, building the current commercial building in its stead, c.1984 (Personal Communication Robert Essig on 3 Feb 2020). On September 11, 2018 the Essig Properties LLC sold the property to SJY Commercial LLC, who is the current owner as of late 2019. Table 1. Chain of Title, 120 North Seventh Street, Bozeman, Montana.
