BACKGROUND:As identified in HPAB's 2022-2023 Work Plan, the board seeks to establish a Heritage Tree Program where the community can acknowledge the importance of place beyond the structures of the built environment. The main point is that the significance of these places is based on their association with a historic event, activity, person, or place. HPAB will be discussing how this program could be established. City Forester Alex Nordquest will be joining in on the conversation.

This can include Heritage or Exceptional Trees, groves, orchards, parks, open spaces, or gardens, public street or trees on private property. The main point is that the significance of these trees is based on protecting our relationship to the natural world and trees which offer profound aesthetic and health benefits to our community. They exist within cultural contexts over time, that includes the environment, historic events and people, social activities, groups or places. HPAB will be discussing how this program could be established.  .  HPAB Subcommittee: Elizabeth Darrow, Linda Semones  Community Members: TBD  Phases/Steps 1. Research & Educate ourselves about what exists in Bozeman code already -locate other cities with programs what we can use- as we construct our own? 2. Partner Outreach to Bozeman Boards & Community 3. GET INVOLVED Tree Inventory: create forms (see example) treasure hunt! 4. Outreach to other cities code or program, people, and orgs (like possible guest David Moehrung from TreePac) knows about Tree Protection Code deep in the battle in Seattle for YEARS! 5. Media Campaign/Get community support/Incentives $ /donors pay for trees?/ HP honor 6. Writing it into the Code /Tree Regulations  Phase I  Research & Education into existing Tree Regulations, Heritage Trees or Exceptional Trees: A SELF- EVIDENT TRUTH: The Urban Forest is essential and a mature tree canopy critical. Heritage Trees provide a record over time of the social, cultural landscape and natural history of place in aesthetics, value of species, period taste, and the effects on the environment of human habitation. Trees save money through green infrastructure services. They reduce stormwater run-off, prevent mudslides, soil erosion, reduce energy costs by moderating the local climate. Trees are good for the environment and increase bio-diversity, protect habitat, pollinators, wildlife and mitigate the causes and effects of global climate change. 8 2  o Research: o City of Seattle Director’s Rule 2020 Director's Rule o https://www.seattle.gov/sdci/codes/codes-we-enforce-(a-z)/trees-and-codes o https://www.plantamnesty.org/about-plantamnesty/the-heritage-tree-program/  Phase II Community Outreach: Partnerships with other city Boards and depts.  Alex Nordquest, City of Bozeman Forester & now member of Urban Parks & Forestry Advisory Board has agreed to participate with HPAB in the Heritage Tree Program planning. Meeting Date TBD in late Aug. He makes it clear that his management extends to public street/boulevard trees and not trees on private property which we know will be very important for the success of our Program and for Tree Protection Muni Code improvements.  Urban Parks & Forestry Board: the Bozeman Tree Advisory Group is now part of new Urban Parks and Forestry Board.

BACKGROUND:Since 2020, the City has partnered with Metcalf Archaeological Consultants to conduct historic inventory surveys. The two areas that have been surveyed include the B-2M (North 7th area) zone district and the B-3 (downtown) zone district. Based on the findings of the surveys, Metcalf provided recommendations to the City to do further research and survey work or amend existing historic districts. The attached file includes Metcalf's recommendations in which HPAB will discuss pursuing these suggestions.

(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 17 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) 18 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. 19 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 20 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 21 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. 22 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.

Sarah Rosenberg, Associate Planner City of Bozeman Planning Division 20 East Olive St. P.O. Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771 srosenberg@bozeman.net 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. 40 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 41 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.
