Source of Information: Montana Cadastral records online, accessed 09/07/2020.
The property at 114 E. Beall Street is a single family residence built in 1946 in the Minimal Traditional style. The single-story
structure is wood-framed, front-gabled with a rectangular footprint and a concrete foundation. It is clad in horizontal siding and the
roof is asphalt shingled. The entry door is accessed by a shallow concrete stoop, and is centered on the north facade. Above the door is
a vent in the apex of the gable. To the west of the door is a triptych window with a five-over-one-lite center flanked with 2-over-1 lite
windows. At the bottom corners of the eaves there is a slight curve. On the east elevation is a single-hung three-lite-over-one lite vinyl
sash window. The west elevation contains no windows or other openings. The rear or south elevation has centered, paired windows
with three-over-one lites. At the west third of the rear elevation recent remodeling has created a recessed and open sided porch with a
paired windows similar to the other set on the eastern half of the elevation, and a glass paneled door. The recessed porch is finished
with vertical wood siding.
The house is in excellent condition. The recent remodeling and alterations to the original siding and windows has altered some aspects
of the integrity of the structure, and the foundation exhibits some cracking. Based on recent photographs, the house originally had
asphalt shingles and single-lite fixed and casement windows. None of the windows present are original to the house and are, in fact,
inconsistent with its original character.

History of Property
Property Name: 114 E Beall St Site Number: 141
HISTORY OF PROPERTY
The property currently addressed as 114 East Beall Street is located in the Bozeman Original Plat.
From 1879 to 1912, this lot portion was associated with the residence located at 205 North Bozeman Street. In 1918, the property was
divided. From 1918 to 1935 the east portion of the property, the north 70 feet of lot 5, continued to be conveyed with the residence at
205 North Bozeman Street. Between 1912 and 1927, there was a small residence built on this property, addressed as 109A½ (Sanborn,
1927). In 1957, this residence was still present and still addressed as 109A½ but was slightly enlarged (Sanborn, 1957). On the 1991
plat rearrangement map, the footprint of the residence was increased again.
From 1918 to 1954, the west portion of the property - the north 70 feet of lot 4 - was conveyed with lots 1 and 2, and the north 70 feet
of lot 3.
From 1966 to 1988 all of the modern lot of Property #141 was conveyed with Property #185 until this block was rearranged in Plat C-
1-A in July 1991.
Effie Dennis moved into this residence in 1946 or 1947 and died in the house in 1963. Effie M. Dennis was born on February 12, 1878
in Missouri to Jacob and Mary Elizabeth Webber. In 1903 Effie married Charles E. Dennis in Springfield, MO (Ancestry, 2007). In
1910, the couple still resided in Springfield, and had three young children (Ancestry.com, 2006). Mrs. Dennis moved to Montana
around 1910. Records indicate that by 1920, Mrs. Dennis resided in Madison, Montana, and was listed as head of the household with
six children all under the age of 13 years. Charles was not listed as living with the family at this time (Ancestry.com, 2010). By 1930
Effie had moved to Bozeman, MT and was living on North Rouse Avenue with four children. The census listed her as a widow,
working as a laundress (Ancestry.com, 2002). Effie moved into this residence when it was constructed in 1946 or 1947 (R. L. Polk &
Company, 1947 to 1959). Effie Dennis died on October 19, 1963. This house was listed as her residence on her death certificate
(Ancestry.com, 2017). Effie and Charles had a daughter, Gladys "Cora" Walter who lived in this house after the death of Effie.
Galen E. and Gladys Walter lived in and owned this house from 1961 until Galen’s death in 1963. Gladys lived in and owned this
house until she sold it to Kenneth R. and Mary A. White on August 15, 1975. While living in this residence, Galen worked at the
Milam Greenhouses and Gladys worked as a nurse at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital (R. L. Polk & Co., 1961, 1963). Galen Walter had
been born on May 22, 1895 in Pony, MT and he died on May 29, 1963. He was buried in Pony (Findagrave.com, 2020). Gladys had
been born on May 23, 1906 and died on March 30, 1991. She was buried in Bozeman, MT at the Sunset Hills Cemetery
(Findagrave.com, 2020).
Kenneth White occupied the house in 1975 and again in 1980. While living in this residence Ken White owned the International
Construction Company and the White Construction Company (R. L. Polk & Co., 1975, 1980). Mary A. Hannula lived in the house
from 1977 to 1978.
Vasa W. White purchased the property on April 27, 2017 and is the current owner as of February 2021.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The property at 114 E. Beall has not been previously recorded. The site consists of a residence built in 1946 in a minimal traditional
style. The site is in good to excellent condition overall, and has had significant alterations to the exterior, including replacement of
siding and windows. As a result of the alterations, the aspects of feeling, design, and materials have been lost.
Section 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. This site has been
evaluated against the NRHP Criteria and has been determined to lack key aspects of integrity and individual significance under
Criterion A, B, C, and D. The site is not located within an existing historic district and, due to considerable in-fill and redevelopment
of the surrounding residential blocks in the past fifty years, Metcalf does not recommend adjacent properties have district potential.
The site is recommended not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
