BACKGROUND:The City of Bozeman's contract with Metcalf Archaeology to update the
architectural surveys is continuing. In 2020, the B-2M zone district was
surveyed and completed. In 2021, the inventory has expanded upon the B-3
zone district continuing efforts completed in the 2014-2016 survey. The
total number of properties that were surveyed was 168 structures. Attached
is the final summary letter of the B-3 zone district survey.
The next survey area (project 3) is expected to take place in 2022 along the
north side of town. A neighborhood survey was sent out to residents of the
area to gather input on what they view as the priority areas of their area as
well as gather opinions of the NCOD and the Preservation Program. See
attached survey area showing where the survey was sent out. The results of
the survey are being currently analyzed.
Staff will also be updating HPAB about the board consolidation that is
currently in the works by City Management.

RE: City of Bozeman Architecture Survey 2020-2021 (Work Order 02), Summary of Findings and Management Recommendations Dear Ms. Rosenberg, In October 2020, Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (Metcalf) conducted an Architectural Inventory on behalf of the City of Bozeman (City), recording 158 architectural sites and evaluating them for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and with reference to the City of Bozeman’s Municipal Code. The purpose of the inventory was to collect current data pertaining to architectural resources in support of the City’s Historic Preservation and Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District programs. The field survey was conducted between October 11 and October 23, 2020, 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 May 18, 2020. The Level I survey provides basic information about a given property, including architectural characteristics, and a preliminary recommendation regarding 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 full evaluation of eligibility, as defined in Sec. 38.700 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. The initial list of properties to be surveyed totaled 170 but was modified to resolve duplicate addresses and demolished properties, as well as to combine addresses where appropriate. Ultimately, a total of 158 sites were recorded. Of these, 16 were recorded at the Level I survey type and the remaining 142 sites were recorded and evaluated to Level II survey standards (Tables 1 and 2). Figures 1-3 depict the
recorded properties on street view maps.

Rosenberg, 07/01/2021 Page 2
Resource Characteristics Results of Metcalf’s 2019-2020 Architectural Inventory for the City of Bozeman (Work Order 01)
provides an overview of each historic neighborhood in Bozeman’s core that was revisited and further inventoried in the 2020-2021 survey. Metcalf referred to that previously compiled data to provide context for our site evaluations and aid in making management recommendations. As exactly 50 percent of the sites recorded are within existing historic districts, Metcalf also relied heavily on National Register documents, including the Nomination Forms for the Bon Ton, South Tracy – South Black, and Main Street historic districts, when evaluating sites for historic significance. The 2020-2021 survey area contains a variety of resource types—from single-family residences to civic buildings and commercial blocks—each representing over a century of Bozeman history. Most of the sites surveyed lie within what is 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 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. Then, in anticipation of the Northern Pacific Railroad reaching Bozeman, development began to stretch north of Main Street. It was during this expansion that the Northern Pacific, Tracy’s 2nd, and Tracy’s 3rd additions
were platted northwest of the original townsite. By the turn of the 20th century, the automobile had revolutionized transportation, and commercial and residential development sprawled west along Main St. and, later, north along N 7th Ave. The resulting character of this historically dynamic survey area is generally dense, with mixed use and a rich variety of architectural styles and periods. It presents as a healthy and vibrant commercial core ringed by well-kept residential neighborhoods, and the historic character of much the area contributes to Bozeman’s distinct sense of place and identity. Management Recommendations 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. Each of the properties encountered were evaluated against the NRHP Criteria A-D. Preliminary recommendations have been made for all 16 of the Level I properties surveyed. None were found to be eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. Sites surveyed to a Level II standard were subject to additional historical research using both primary and secondary source materials, to allow for a
full evaluation of each site’s individual eligibility. Of the 142 sites surveyed to the Level II standard, 48 sites are recommended not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. Twenty-four of the recorded sites are currently individually listed in the NRHP, and three of those are also listed as contributing within the
Main Street Historic District (24GA0952). Three properties (118 E. Main St., 213 S. Black Ave., and 422 E. Mendenhall St.) are recommended individually eligible. Of these, one (118 E. Main St.) is already listed in the NRHP as a contributing site to the Main Street Historic District.
The Level II survey sites were also evaluated with reference to any existing or potential historic districts in the vicinity. National Register guidelines define historic districts as having a “significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development” (NPS 2002). While Metcalf considered NRHP district potential when evaluating individual sites throughout the survey area, we observed that the areas with such concentrations were those already listed in the NRHP as historic districts. Therefore, we do not currently recommend any new district potential in the survey area. The survey area overlapped with three existing NRHP-listed historic districts: the Bon Ton Historic District (24GA0954), the South Tracy – South Black Historic District (24GA0955), and the Main Street
Historic District (24GA0952). Seventy-one of the recorded properties are within the boundaries of one of
18
Rosenberg, 07/01/2021 Page 3
these districts. Three of the sites are in the Bon Ton Historic District (24GA0954). Two of the three are listed in the NRHP as contributing to the district and one is not eligible, non-contributing. In the South
Tracy – South Black Historic District (24GA0955), Metcalf documented seven properties. Of these, five are listed, contributing to the district and one that was previously non-contributing has since become eligible, contributing (11 E. Curtiss St.) due to restoration work completed. Only one of the sites recorded within the boundaries of the South Tracy – South Black Historic District was recommended not eligible/non-contributing. Sixty-one properties are within the Main Street Historic District. Metcalf found that 44 of those sites retain sufficient integrity to be considered or remain listed as contributing sites in the historic district. Of the contributing sites, four were previously considered not eligible but now should be included due to recent restoration that has re-established individual site integrity. Seventeen sites within the district do not currently retain integrity and are non-contributing/not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP.
Metcalf noted that three of the documented sites (33-43 W Main St, 27 N. Tracy Ave., and 138 W. Mendenhall St.) have potential to be added to the Main Street Historic District as contributing sites,
pending further work. They are not currently included in the district either due to their age at the time the district was defined in 1986 or because they are outside of, but immediately adjacent to the current district boundary. As defined in the 1986 National Register nomination form, the Main Street Historic District
has a period of significance that spans from 1870 to 1937. The end date (1937) was, at the time of the document, the arbitrary 50-year mark for properties to be considered historic. Metcalf recommends that an amendment be made to the district that would extend its period of significance to a more logical end date. In addition, the boundary should be increased one-half block north to incorporate two properties that should be considered eligible/contributing (27 N. Tracy Ave. and 138 W. Mendenhall St.) but were excluded based on the previous and arbitrary period of significance. An amendment to the Main Street Historic District (24GA0952) would require minimal additional or original research and would more accurately reflect—and acknowledge—the historic significance of Bozeman’s commercial core. We recommend that the period of significance be revised and extended, with reference to already-established phases in Bozeman’s historic development (RTI 2008). These are:
• Townsite Phase (1864-1872)
• Village Phase (1873-1883)
• Civic Phase (1884-1912)
• Progressive Phase (1913-1929)
• Nationalization Phase (1930-1945)
• Postwar Expansion Phase (1946-1970)
Pending further research, we believe extending the district through the Nationalization Phase (1930-1945) may be the most appropriate approach as this would allow for the inclusion of previously non-contributing properties built between 1937 and 1945. These properties reflect the culmination of
commercial downtown development. By the start of the Postwar Phase (1946), downtown had reached its building capacity and subsequent commercial development began to sprawl west along Main Street and in new ways characterized by rapid population growth and new trends in consumerism (RTI 2008: 31-32). Metcalf recommends that further work be done to address these concerns with the existing NRHP documentation of the Main Street Historic District. 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.

heritage, the Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board is committed to ensuring a dynamic
historic legacy for present and future generations. The BHPAB engages the community through
education and advocacy to cultivate awareness, appreciation and stewardship of our historic
resources.
The Vision:
Our pride in where we live rests, in part, on our understanding and appreciation of the past
inherent in the surviving historic buildings, structures, landscapes, streetscapes, and archeological
sites that surround us. We envision a Bozeman in which every citizen knows about and
appreciates his or her community’s unique contribution to Montana’s heritage, and takes pride in
maintaining and protecting that heritage and in which governmental agencies at all levels set the
example of good stewardship and support their citizens’ efforts.
