MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 2 Architectural Description Property Name: 106 E Babcock St Site Number: 129 ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION Architectural Style: Other (specify) If Other, specify: 21st Century Modern Property Type: Commercial Specific Property Type: Architect: Architectural Firm/City/State: Intrinsik Architecture Inc., Bozeman, MT Builder/Contractor: Company/City/State: Source of Information: Montana Cadastral records online, accessed 11/2/2020 This site is a modern commercial building, under construction at the time of inventory. The building was designed by Bozeman firm Intrinsik Architecture as part of a redevelopment of a property formerly occupied by a 1970s bank building known as the Big Sky Western Bank building. The current structure is nearly complete and stands three stories high. It has an irregular footprint and overall boxy aesthetic in keeping with 21st Century Modern style. The roof is flat and the exterior is clad in a variety of materials concentrated in distinct blocks. Exterior materials include concrete, brick veneer, and steel panels. Window types present include single-lite expansive plate-glass windows as well as four- and six-lite fixed windows. The primary entry faces north onto E Babcock Street beneath a cantilevered metal awning. Construction site signage indicates the building, when complete, will have commercial retail space on the first story and apartment units above. The property is in excellent condition but is modern and, in fact, still under construction.
