MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 6 Statement of Significance Property Name: 114-116 N Grand Ave. Site Number: 174 NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES NRHP Listing Date: NRHP Eligibility: Yes No Individually Contributing to Historic District Noncontributing to Historic District NRHP Criteria: A B C D Area of Significance: Period of Significance: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The property at 114 North Grand Avenue consists of a Craftsman-style duplex constructed between 1935 and 1940. Modern windows affect integrity of materials, however, all other aspects of integrity are retained and Metcalf finds the residence retains sufficient integrity to convey historic character. 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 in an existing or potential historic district. This site has been evaluated against the NRHP Criteria and has been determined to lack individual significance under Criteria A, B, C, and D. It is not located within an existing district and due to significant infill, properties in the vicinity do not exhibit cohesive characteristics of a time, style, or high degree of integrity to suggest district potential. While the site retains sufficient integrity to convey historic character, Metcalf recommends the site not eligible for inclusion within the NRHP.
