Babcock 1985 revision Matt Cohen , surveyor One of the few buildings of notable architectural significance in the district built during the Depression , this Tudor Revival /Bungalow style house was designed by Joseph H . Uhlrich , an architecture student at Montana State College . It was built by several local craftsmen , including Uhlrich ' s father , a bricklayer. Other members of the family assisted in the construction . Uhlrich had been an architecture student until forced to leave the college for financial reasons . The design for this house , which was the result of a collaboration with other family members , according to Uhlrich was not based on any specific architectureal pattern , but was memely " the way they used to build houses back then . " The design is nevertheless unique in the city . Uhlrich ' s father , Joseph Auraw Uhlrich , was a bricklayer who learned his trade from his own father . Andrew ( Andre) Uhlrich , a stoneworker and an immigrant from the area of Europe that is now Switzerland . Joseph A . Uhlrich arrived in Montana from Illinois in 1895 . Among his first jobs was the construction of a small brick house on Sourdough Road , and the tower of the Methodist Church on S . Willson Ave . Uhlrich laid the brick veneer for this house , and local carpenters Peter Zier and Joe Coleman raised the frame . The interior woodwork was the work of Elmer Bartholomew , one of the most important early 20th century builders in the district , while the built- in cabinets were installed by Lester Newman , a fine woodworker from New York . Newman also constructed the display cases for the remodeling of the F . W . Woolworth Co . store at 26 E . Main . Joseph H . Uhlrich ' s wife , Gretchen Lehrkind Uhlrich , is the granddaughter of Julius Lehrkind , whose elaborate , 1895 Queen Anne style house , and brick brewery are still standing on N . Wallace Street .
