RE: City of Bozeman Architecture Survey 2019-2020, Summary of Findings and Management
Recommendations
Mr. Gonzalez,
In June 2019, the City of Bozeman (City) contracted Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (Metcalf)
to conduct an architectural inventory of 128 properties (Map 1). The purpose of the inventory was to
collect current data pertaining to architectural resources to continue supporting the City’s Historic
Preservation and Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District programs.
The field survey was conducted between October 15 and November 20, 2019 by Architectural Historian
Emily Sakariassen and Staff Archaeologist Shelley Wells. Prior to field work, each property was assigned
an arbitrary Property ID number to aid with organization and tracking. Site boundaries were defined using
City of Bozeman parcel data and all historic features were photographed from the public Right-of-Way.
At the request of the City and to maintain consistency with the SHPO’s statewide comprehensive site
inventory as outlined in the Montana Certified Local Government Manual, site documentation is
presented on Montana Historic Property Record forms. Each property was documented to Level I or
Level II standards, as defined and determined by your office and provided in a spreadsheet dated
September 4, 2019. The Level I survey provides basic information about a given property, including
architectural characteristics, and a preliminary recommendation regarding National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) eligibility, particularly under Criterion C. The Level II survey includes the same
information and incorporates historic background information to provide site context and facilitate
evaluation of eligibility, as defined in Sec. 38.700 of the Bozeman Municipal Code.
Of the 128 properties, 27 were initially defined as Level I properties and the remaining were Level II
properties. The property list was modified to resolve duplicate addresses and demolished properties, as
well as combine addresses where appropriate. Additionally, during the project, the City requested four
Level I properties be elevated to Level II status. In the end, a total of 123 properties were recorded,
including 18 Level I and 105 Level II properties (Tables 1 and 2).
Sec. 38.700 of the Bozeman Municipal Code defines an eligible property as one that meets the criteria for
inclusion in the NRHP or State Register either 1) individually or 2) as a contributing building to an
existing or potential historic district. Preliminary recommendations have been made for 17 of the 18 Level
I properties; 302 N 7th Ave (Property ID 021) remains unevaluated for listing in the NRHP until further
historic research can be conducted to address its significance under Criteria A and B. Of the 105 Level II
8
Gonzalez, 9/30/2020
Page 2
properties, 11 are currently listed in the NRHP either individually or as contributing elements to existing
historic districts, namely the Northern Pacific/Story Mill and Cooper Park historic districts. Metcalf
recommends that one of the contributing properties in the Cooper Park Historic District (508 W Main St;
Property ID 069) be re-evaluated as non-contributing as it has lost key aspects of integrity. One property,
322 W Mendenhall St (Property ID 093), merits consideration as an individually eligible resource. This
site is the former Nelson Story house, built in 1869, and is recommended individually eligible for
inclusion in the NRHP under Criteria A and B for its associations with the Townsite Phase in Bozeman’s
early development and for its specific association with pioneering Bozeman entrepreneur, Nelson Story.
Sixty-three of the remaining Level II properties are recommended to be not eligible individually but
eligible as part of a potential historic district, per City of Bozeman code. These sites are not individually
significant but retain sufficient integrity to convey historic character and contribute to a potential district
should one be identified. Lastly, 30 Level II properties are recommended not eligible and non-
contributing to a potential district either because they are not yet 50 years old or because they lack historic
integrity.
Resource Characteristics
To provide context to our site evaluations and aid in prioritizing future research efforts to determine
district potential where it exists in the surveyed area, Metcalf has compiled a summary of neighborhood
characteristics based on existing geographic groupings of sites, i.e., city subdivisions. These
neighborhood boundaries are somewhat subjective and may prove, through further survey work, to be
inadequate. However, we believe they provide a reasonable framework for consideration of district
potential. Ten subdivisions are represented by the recorded properties: Story Addition, Tracy’s 1st
Addition, Tracy’s 2nd Addition, Tracy’s 3rd Addition, Northern Pacific Addition, Park Addition, West
Park Addition, Violett Addition, Karp’s Addition, and Border Tract Addition.
The 2019-2020 survey area is west of what is commonly known as Bozeman’s original townsite. William
J. Beall and Daniel E. Rouse laid out a townsite in 1864 that was centered on Main Street, between Rouse
and Bozeman avenues. Those streets would become major thoroughfares. In 1870, following a survey of
the townsite by W. W. DeLacy, the townsite was officially platted. Over the next few years, developers
filed plats mostly to the southeast, where the land was higher and therefore drier. Several early plats were
filed to the west of the original townsite at this time, including Tracy’s 1st Addition in 1871 and the Story
Addition in 1872. Two 80-acre tracts owned by Nelson Story and Walter Cooper and John S. Dickerson
were set aside for a park and platted as the “Park Addition.” This area was eventually developed as the
Cooper Park neighborhood. The adjacent West Park Addition was platted in 1892.
In anticipation of the Northern Pacific Railroad reaching Bozeman, development began to stretch north of
Main Street toward the depot. It was during this expansion that the Northern Pacific, Tracy’s 2nd, and
Tracy’s 3rd additions were platted northwest of the original townsite. The automobile revolutionized
transportation, and commercial and residential development after the turn of the 20th Century sprawled
west along Main St. and, later, north along N 7th Ave. The Violett, Karp’s, and Border Tract additions
were developed in the mid-century, largely after WWII, along these newly emerged commercial
corridors.
Previous historians have classified development within the additions in chronological phases (RTI 2008).
The six phases of development in RTI’s 2008 Bozeman Historic Context are as follows, and were used to
help characterize resources within each geographic area:
• Townsite Phase (1864-1872)
• Village Phase (1873-1883)
• Civic Phase (1884-1912)
9
Gonzalez, 9/30/2020
Page 3
• Progressive Phase (1913-1929)
• Nationalization Phase (1930-1945)
• Postwar Expansion Phase (1946-1970)
Story Addition
Twenty-four properties recorded at a Survey Level II are located within the Story Addition (Map 1). This
Addition was platted in 1872 by Nelson Story, one of Bozeman’s pioneer merchants and real estate
developers. The properties surveyed represent the variety of property types in this part of Bozeman,
including single- and multiple-unit residential and commercial buildings. Ages and architectural styles
vary and reflect historic associations with the Civic, Progressive, Nationalization, and Postwar Expansion
phases of Bozeman’s development (RTI 2008). Of the residential styles, Metcalf identified five Queen
Anne-style houses from the turn-of-the-Century, one Dutch Colonial-Revival residence, eight Craftsman
houses from the 1910s, 20s and 30s, and two Mission/Spanish-Revival-style homes—one of which is a
duplex. The commercial properties that were recorded date later, to the mid-20th Century, in-keeping
with historic trends in commercial growth along W Main Street. These buildings date from the 1930s
through 1975 and, while most do not have stylistic embellishments that are readily classified, one
example of the Moderne style and another belonging to the Post-Modern style were identified.
Eight of the 24 properties recorded within the Story Addition are currently listed in the NRHP as
contributing to the 1987 Cooper Park Historic District (24GA953). These are 504, 508, 512, 516, 520,
522, 606, and 612 W Main Street. Metcalf updated the site record to reflect that all but one of these
properties retain sufficient integrity to convey historic character and maintain their listed status. The
exception is 508 W Main Street, which has experienced considerable modification.
Most of the properties Metcalf recorded within the Story Addition are in good or excellent condition and
retain sufficient integrity to convey their historic character.
Tracy’s 1st Addition
Ten properties recorded at a Survey Level II are located within Tracy’s 1st Addition (Map 3). William H.
Tracy, one of the founders of the City of Bozeman, platted this addition in 1882 on the west edge of the
original Bozeman townsite. The properties surveyed are nearly all residential properties. The exception is
a historically residential property that has been converted for use as a commercial building (601 W Main
St.). Most of the properties date to the first two decades of the 20th Century and are associated with the
Civic and Progressive phases of Bozeman’s development. One site is a house built in 1969, during the
City’s Postwar Expansion phase (RTI 2008).
Of the residential properties recorded in Tracy’s 1st Addition, Metcalf identified four as Queen Anne
style houses, one vernacular house with an upright-and-wing form, one Classical Revival style house, one
early example of Craftsman architecture, a Minimal Traditional style house, and one classified as Eclectic
in its embellishments. The now commercial building, 601 W Main St., was originally a Queen Anne style
residence.
322 W Mendenhall St (Property ID 093) is recommended individually eligible for listing in the NRHP,
and 502 W Mendenhall St (Property ID 103) is currently listed. The latter was previously recorded under
site number 24GA944 and is listed under Criterion C as an excellent example of eclectic, turn of the
century architecture in Bozeman and for its use of pressed stone.
10
Gonzalez, 9/30/2020
Page 4
Most of the recorded properties in the addition retain sufficient integrity to convey historic character and
would be considered contributing to a potential historic district as they date to the historic period and
retain sufficient integrity.
Tracy’s 2nd Addition
Twenty-three properties recorded at a Survey Level II are located within Tracy’s 2nd Addition (Map 4).
This addition was platted in 1883 as City development expanded north in anticipation of the arrival of the
Northern Pacific Railroad (RTI 2008). The properties surveyed represent both residential and commercial
property types. Those that are commercial are predominantly historic houses that have been converted to
use as commercial buildings. Ages and architectural styles vary in the neighborhood and reflect historic
associations with the Village, Civic, Progressive, Nationalization, and Postwar Expansion phases of
Bozeman’s development. Two of the 23 properties are not historic. 621 W Mendenhall St. (Property ID
112) was built in 1973 and 120 N 7th Ave (Property ID 018) was built in 1984.
Within Tracy’s 2nd Addition, Metcalf identified 11 examples of Queen Anne style architecture. In
addition, there was a Victorian-Era Stick Style residence and two contemporaneous Eclectic houses. One
of the latter shows influence from both Queen Anne and Classical Revival; the other has been remodeled
with contemporary stylings applied to what was likely originally a modest Queen Anne cottage. Other
styles recorded include Craftsman, Mid-Century modern, and Contemporary—the latter referring to the
two modern commercial properties.
None of the properties recorded in Tracy’s 2nd Addition are currently listed in the NRHP and Metcalf did
not identify any individually eligible properties. Only a small majority of the properties recorded retain
sufficient integrity to convey historic character.
Tracy’s 3rd Addition
Thirteen properties recorded at a Survey Level II are located within Tracy’s 3rd Addition (Map 5). This
Addition was also platted by Tracy in 1883 and is part of the City’s growth north with the arrival of the
Northern Pacific (RTI 2008). The properties surveyed in this area are both residential and commercial.
They span nearly a century; the earliest recorded was built in 1890 and the most recent dates to 1970.
Therefore, they reflect historic associations within the Civic, Progressive, Nationalization, and Postwar
Expansion phases of Bozeman’s development. Architectural styles present include four Queen Anne style
houses, one Classical Revival style house, four Craftsman bungalows, one Minimal Traditional house,
and three commercial buildings from the late Mid-Century classified as Contemporary.
One recorded property in the addition is currently listed in the NRHP. Located at 607 W Lamme and
previously recorded under site number 24GA930, the site is the c. 1890 Colburn House. It is listed under
Criterion C for its architectural significance.
Most of the properties Metcalf recorded within this neighborhood are in good or excellent condition and
retain sufficient integrity to convey their historic character, including the listed property.
Northern Pacific Addition
Five properties recorded at a Survey Level II are located within the Northern Pacific Addition (Map 6).
This addition was platted in 1883, with the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The area was marshy
and not well-suited to building. As a result, development here was gradual and largely industrial in nature
(RTI 2008). Regardless, there are some residential structures in the neighborhood. Three of the recorded
properties are single-unit dwellings from the early 20th Century. Two of the three are Craftsman
11
Gonzalez, 9/30/2020
Page 5
bungalows that were moved in from unknown locations in the mid-20th Century. The third is a 1942
Minimal Traditional style house with several modern outbuildings. Two commercial warehouse buildings
were also recorded in the Northern Pacific Addition and date to Mid-20th Century.
One of the properties recorded within the Northern Pacific Addition is currently listed in the NRHP as a
contributing element of the Northern Pacific/Story Mill Historic District (24GA1100). The property is the
Benepe Elevator Warehouse located at 625 E Tamarack St. The other properties recorded in this addition
are in good condition, but only 1010 N Rouse (Property ID 117) and the NRHP-listed site at 625 E
Tamarack retain sufficient integrity to convey historic character.
West Park Addition
Five properties recorded at a Survey Level II fives are located within the West Park Addition (Map 7).
This addition was platted in 1892 adjacent to the Park Addition which was, at the time, west of the
original townsite. The properties are all residential in nature with ages ranging from 1902 through 1917.
They therefore reflect historic associations with the Civic and Progressive phases of Bozeman’s
development (RTI 2008). One Queen Anne style house, three Craftsman style houses, and a duplex
classified as Eclectic (bearing some Classical Revival influence in its symmetry and massing) were
recorded.
None of the properties recorded in the West Park Addition are currently listed in the NRHP and Metcalf
did not identify any individually eligible properties. All but one, 818 W Babcock St., retain sufficient
integrity to convey historic character.
Park Addition
The Park Addition was platted as two, eight-acre tracts owned by Nelson Story and Walter Cooper and
John S. Dickerson. A subsection of this land was set aside for the development of a park, later named
Cooper Park (RTI 2008). Metcalf recorded only one property at a Survey Level II within this addition: a
1925 Craftsman bungalow at 720 W Babcock St (Map 8). Immediately east of the property is a
redeveloped lot, and construction of a multi-unit apartment building was ongoing at the time of survey.
Other houses on the block, to the south and southeast of the property, are a mix of similar Craftsman
bungalows and slightly older vernacular residences.
Observations made within the Park Addition suggest that encroaching re-development has likely affected
the neighborhood’s overall historic character. Modern residences were noted in the vicinity, but not
within the survey area. Further survey would be required to determine district potential.
Violett Addition
Twenty-one properties were recorded at a Survey Level II within the Violett Addition (Map 9). The
Violett Addition is a Mid-20th Century neighborhood that was platted in 1941 by Lena E. Border and
Harvey E. and Ina I. Murdock. The area was mostly developed following WWII and consists primarily of
1 to 1.5-story single-unit houses. Metcalf recorded 17 residential properties, three commercial properties,
and one educational facility, the Whittier Elementary School, within the addition.
The properties reflect historic associations within the Nationalization and Postwar Expansion phases of
Bozeman’s development. Eleven of the houses recorded are Minimal Traditional in their architectural
style. Five Ranch-style houses were also recorded, including a modern house built in 1990 (424 N 6th
Ave). Other residential styles noted include Mid-Century Modern and a vernacular bungalow. The three
12
Gonzalez, 9/30/2020
Page 6
commercial buildings recorded vary in style, with little embellishment, and the school is a Mid-Century
Modern style structure.
Most of the properties Metcalf recorded within this neighborhood are in good or excellent condition and
retain sufficient integrity to convey their historic character.
Karp’s Addition
Two properties were recorded at a Survey Level II within Karp’s Addition (Map 10). Like the adjacent
Violett Addition, this area was developed following WWII. John and Treentje Karp, Floyd and Florence
Spady, J.A. and Maggie Spady, and John P. and Mary Cloninger subdivided and platted this area into lots,
blocks, streets, avenues, and alleys as Karp’s Addition in 1946. The small subdivision is characterized by
mixed residential and commercial properties. The recorded properties reflect historic associations with the
Nationalization and Postwar Expansion phases of Bozeman’s development. One of the two properties is
an Art Moderne apartment building built in 1947. The other is a 1959 Mid-Century Modern
convalescence home. Both properties are in good condition and retain sufficient integrity to convey
historic character.
Border Tract Addition
One property was recorded at a Survey Level II within the Border Tract Addition (Map 11). This addition
is the most recent of all the developments within the study area. The subdivision was platted in 1970 by
the Border family, who were also responsible for platting and development the nearby Violett Addition.
The recorded property, the Royal 7 Motel, pre-dates the subdivision development and reflects historic
associations with Bozeman’s Postwar Expansion phase. The lot has been the site of a motor inn since the
1940s, which is in keeping with the development of N 7th Ave as a commercial strip on the west edge of
town. While not recommended to be individually eligible, it retains integrity sufficient to convey historic
character.
Management Recommendations
Results of the 2019-2020 architectural survey provide an overview of historic neighborhoods in Bozeman
not previously considered for NRHP District status. The National Park Service defines a District as, “a
significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united
historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development” (NPS 2002). For this reason, Metcalf has
evaluated the properties within the survey area with respect to known patterns of development, tying
properties to both specific geographic location (neighborhoods/subdivisions) and time periods (phases of
development).
A variety of building types, styles, and ages were encountered in the 10 subdivisions that overlap with the
survey area. Although no subdivision was surveyed in its entirety, Metcalf can provide preliminary
recommendations regarding district potential within the survey area. Those areas in which there is a
notable concentration of associated properties retaining sufficient integrity to convey historic character
have greater district potential, and those that also have a clearly defined period of significance or
architectural cohesion should be prioritized for further work.
Several of the subdivisions identified have a high percentage of properties that retain historic integrity.
Eighty-six percent of the properties recorded within Tracy’s 3rd Addition, for example, have integrity—
not including an NRHP-listed site in the neighborhood; however, the properties there span an entire
century and lack historic and stylistic cohesion. Further survey work would be required to identify historic
themes and associations to determine district potential.
13
Gonzalez, 9/30/2020
Page 7
Similarly, the Story Addition has a high number of properties with integrity, and the component
properties date to the Civic, Progressive, Nationalization, and Postwar Expansion phases of Bozeman’s
development. Twenty-five percent of the properties recorded there are already listed in the NRHP as
contributing elements to the Cooper Park Historic District, the boundary of which is justified not on the
basis of integrity alone, but by the age, style, and orientation of properties. While Metcalf does not
recommend this as an optimal candidate for district status, it is possible that an expansion of the Cooper
Park historic district could be explored through further survey work and analysis of the existing district’s
boundary justification.
The Violett Addition may also be a candidate for district potential, as the small, cohesive neighborhood
has associations with the Postwar phase of Bozeman’s development, a time period not strongly reflected
in existing NRHP listings in the City. Eighty-one percent of the properties recorded within this Addition
retain sufficient integrity and, while the area was not entirely recorded as part of the survey, that number
indicates the surrounding properties likely also retain integrity. It is recommended that further study of the
Violett Addition also consider inclusion of contemporaneous developments in adjacent subdivisions (e.g.,
Karp Addition), as they may be linked thematically.
Other subdivisions encountered in the survey area did not provide sufficient data to truly characterize the
potential for nomination as a historic district(s). In Tracy’s 1st Addition, West Park Addition, Park
Addition, Karp’s Addition, and the Border Tract Addition, fewer than 10 properties were documented.
Metcalf recommends that, in addition to a focused study of the Violett Addition to determine district
potential, the City consider expanding these areas for future survey, especially as they contain properties
dating to the recent past not previously surveyed.
We look forward to continuing work on the project in the coming years, and we thank you for continuing
to partner with our firm. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
