NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The original house, built in 1881, is situated toward the front of the lot, with a small addition
on the back, and a small garage/shed roughly in the middle of lot.
In 1984, James R. McDonald Architects produced a “Montana Historical and Architectural Inventory”
report and is available on the City of Bozeman’s website. The physical description of that report is as
follows:
“This one- story single- family residence has a rectangular plan with a gable overdoor above the
front entrance, and a gable addition to the rear. The one- bay facade is asymmetrical and consists
of an off-center front entrance with 1/ 1 double-hung windows. The frame construction is finished in
drop siding and the gable roof is covered with interlocking T rust asphalt shingles. The roof features
exposed rafters and sits perpendicular to the street. Outbuildings include a small garage to the
rear.”1
The firm’s research found that their survey had, “not yielded any significant historical information
concerning persons or events associated with this property,” and, additionally, the building, “is an
intrusive element within a potential historic district.”

Finally, the report also states that the historic integrity has not been retained because of, “change in
original design and materials.”
Currently, as of 2023, the property does fall into the North Conservation Overlay District (NCOD),
but not into any other neighborhood district with separate zoning guidelines.

HISTORY OF PROPERTY
The construction date is listed as 1881, however it does not show up on the Sanborn Fire
Insurance maps until 1891. No research has concluded any historical significance to the property.
The Bozeman Hotel was built roughly in the same time period (1891), so the construction could
coincide with a boom and migration to the town. The house predates mail order home kits by nearly
two decades, so it one assumption is that the structure was vernacular housing, built from materials
available locally (perhaps from the lumber yard that was located on Main Street).

or in contributing to the neighborhood.

potential historic district.”

The wear and degradation of the house, including the rear alteration, only makes the building less
significant and, it is the opinion of this author, that it is beyond its useful life. This author also agrees
with the 1984 assessment that the “structure is an intrusive element within a potential historic
district.”
There is other neighboring stock that serve as better examples of the neighborhood characteristics
of the time and that of the historic vernacular architecture.
