Home My WebLink About004 Project NarrativePROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.00 This applicant is proud to present a new Multifamily 18 unit building design in downtown Bozeman. The project is located on the corner of E Mendenhall St and N Broadway Ave where the existing BG Mill is currently located. The residential units are located on levels 2-5 while the ground level is being activated through the use of a residential gym, lounge, and residential parking. This Multifamily project also intends to offer an integrated landscape design to activate the pedestrians in and around the site. With the site being split by the existing rail line the North West portion of the lot is maximizing its usable square footage for the Multifamily building design. This design decisions has provided the opportunity to allow the South Eastern part of the site to become a pedestrian landscaped area that fronts N Broadway Ave. The landscaped area on the South Eastern part of the site ties directly into the landscaping directly across the street, and in turn creating a more inviting progression down N Broadway Ave. Project Address: NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, ACRES 0.5123, PLAT C-23-A11 Lot Aggregation: No lot aggregation is intended for this project Zoning District: B-3 Occupancy Classifications: R-2, S-2, A-3 Floors 2-4 Residential (R-2): 18 Dwelling Units|Ground Floor, Ground Floor Parking Structure (S-2): 18 Indoor Parking Spaces | Roof Top, Residential Roof Top Courtyard (A-3): Approximately 5,230 SQ.FT. The development proposed in this submittal is intended to respond to the City of Bozeman’s goal to densify the downtown urban core. Since the development is occurring in the Downtown B-3 zoning district it was critical for the building to respond to the ground floor street activation at the frontage of Broadway & Mendenhall. Ground floor activity will be triggered by pedestrian traffic to and from the residential lounge, through the bike and ski storage areas, and the exterior lounge on the East end of the site. The parking garage entrance is proposed off the alley to the west of the property, and exits onto Mendenhall. The new trash room will also be located off the alley along with the water riser room. The alley access located right off of E Mendenhall St will provide direct access for all maintenance and circulation for the site. The design of the utility area is located at the SE corner of site to provide ease of access off of N Broadway Ave or E Mendenhall St. The ease of access to these utility areas are also integrated into the landscape design. With BG Mill being located on the corner lot between Mendenhall and Broadway views of the surround area will always be present. This site, being directly adjacent to an M-1 zoning to the North, will maintain its views to the Bridger Mountain Range while also maintaining its views to the South, towards the Spanish Peaks; as there is an existing parking lot for the adjacent businesses. EXISTING BUILT ENVIRONMENT PROJECT GOALS PROJECT DESCRIPTION 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.01 Based on the information provided in the Bozeman Community Plan, established in 2020, the North East Neighborhood will possibly see change in zoning and development. The design team has been able to identify that the BG Mill site is a very advantageous location as development continues to grow throughout Bozeman. The proposed zoning of The North East Neighborhood includes Community Commercial Mixed Use, Urban Neighborhood, Parks and Open Lands, as well as some identified industrial zones located by the main rail line to the North of the BG Mill Site. With the increase potential for commercial use and residential activation of the area, the BG Mills site will be the primary corner of activation between Downtown Bozeman and the newly proposed zoning opportunities to the North, established in the Bozeman Community Plan. Through integrated Architectural Landscaping, public areas, a creative Multifamily building design, and incorporating the original BG Mill signage the proposed design is hopeful to become an integral part of the Downtown Bozeman atmosphere. Located on the East of Bozeman’s Downtown core, the BG Mill design draws from the existing contextual conditions. Through the reuse of the BG Mill weathered corrugated metal siding and pushing the exterior of the building to its outer most limits, as identified by the setbacks and property lines, it brings the Old BG Mill to the forefront of the pedestrian experience. The intention of using the Old BG Mill signage as an aesthetic opportunity for building identity/branding will provide historical ties to the existing site. Some of the other materials proposed are intended to tie into the rest of the downtown environment by providing the timeless materials of metal, wood, and glazing to highlight particular elements of the building’s design. DESIGN INTENT MATERIAL CONTEXT VERTICAL SCRIM WALL CORRUGATED METAL PANELS GLAZING The proposed design for BG Mill includes amenity opportunities for both the residents as well as the public. At the main entry there is a lobby that provides a buffer between the interior and exterior environment with available seating for the residents. Additionally, there is a fitness facility with available storage for the residents to use at their convenience. At the east-end prow of the building there is an opportunity for both the residents and the public to interact on site through both the Landscape Architecture along N Broadway Avenue and the shared workspace where the Old BG Mill signage is intended to be displayed. While the Landscape Architecture occurs predominantly at the ground floor, it occurs at the roof top as well. Roof top amentities at the prow of the building allow for the most advantageous views on the site. Providing a lounge, hot tub, and dining space at the roof top enables the residents to engage in an outdoor experience while being removed from the streetscape. The roof top provides separation from the streetscape and also provides vthe opportunity for the residents to interact with one another. Lastly, In the garage of the proposed BG Mill building there are private storage stalls for the residents. This is intended to provide an added convenience within the design for the residence. BUILDING AMENITIES FIBER-CEMENT PANEL 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.02 PROJECT TIMEFRAME JULY 2022CONR|EXEMPT START OF CONSTRUCTION END OF CONSTRUCTION SPR|SUBMIT SITE PLAN REVIEW TO THE CITY The proposed site is zoned with a zero-lot line development standard at all sides of the property, but as the required setbacks/easements/ vision triangle are projected onto the site the building’s limitations become evident through its proposed design. The design is utilizing a 12’ storefront setback along E Mendenhall St, a 5’ alley setback to the West of the lot, and the railroad easement onsite is determining the lot setbacks to the East and South towards N. Broadway Ave. The footprint of the building is placed directly on the previously mentioned setback lines around the site, however there is a request for a departure along the frontage road, E Mendenhall St. This departure is intended to allow for a more congruent and cohesive landscaped entry design for the BG Mill building, as well as providing a more accommodating pedestrian sidewalk experience. BG Mill’s main utility services that are being provided will be located off N. Broadway Ave., under the railroad, and tucked into the South East portion of the building. While the utilities pass under the railroad from N. Broadway Ave., the main access to the Mechanical, Electrical, and Meter services will be off the main frontage of E. Mendenhall St. Some of the smaller utility services including the trash collection and water riser room are intended to be accessed from the improved alley in the BG Mill design. The water riser room will accommodate both the domestic water and fire suppression needs for the building. These utilities spaces are intended to blend into the building’s facades in each location, for both a clear and easily accessed entry. A primary benefit to be noted in the proposed design is the implementation of a usable and inviting pedestrian access across the property. The integral Landscape design will promote access for pedestrians through the use of planters, trees, and architectural elements to activiate the frontage along E Mendenhall St. The existing conditions do not promote easy access across the site and pose potential hazerdous conditions for pedestrians if they are using the site for gaining access to Downtown Bozeman. PROJECT TIMEFRAME AUGUST 2022DECEMBER 2022MARCH 2023NOVEMBER 2023SEPTEMBER 2024SITE IMPROVEMENTS BUILDING PERMIT SUBMITTAL 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.03 The proposed plan is designed with 18 residential units. According to the City of Bozeman regulations, only one parking space is required to be provided per dwelling unit and no spaces are required for commercial use less than 3,000 sf. There are 18 new parking stalls in the garage, so the amount of parking required by the UDC of the City of Bozeman is currently being met. There is currenty not a necessity to provide any on street parking with the proposed design. This is a huge benefit to the property as the intersection of E. Mendenhall St. and N. Broadway Ave can be quite congested throughout the day, according to the recently updated traffic study. This will limit the number of opportunities for hazardous situations to occur along the frontage of the building, and in turn provide a clear/safe zone for any service vehicles that may or may not be needed on site. As mentioned earlier in the project narrative, the BG Mill development has considered the impacts and standards identified in the North East Neighborhood from the newly developed Bozeman Community Plan that was established in 2020. In conclusion, the supporting Traffic Impact Study and Parking Summary that have been included are compatible with the design requirements implemented in the UDC from the City of Bozeman. PARKING AND TRAFFIC DEMAND 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.04 LANDSCAPE All landscaping will comply with the mandatory landscaping provisions of the Bozeman UDC including the use of drought tolerant plants, use of appropriately sized landscape plant material, street frontage landscaping, use of trees with residential adjacency, coordination with utilities, and use of permanent irrigation. All service areas and utility equipment will be screened, as necessary. Streetscape: Street paving is designed to preserve the neighborhood’s design and continuity from adjacent sites. The street scape at BG Mill will connect seamlessly into the existing downtown fabric. E Mendenhall St. will follow storefront block frontage standards with a minimum 12’ width sidewalk. The original BG Mill building and site is currently in a hazardous state and does not provide clear access or adequate drainage throughout the site. The lack of site maintenance and site overgrowth has given the site an undesirable aesthetic on the promenant corner of E Mendenhall St. and N Broadway Ave. Planting Strips: The storefront block frontage along E Mendenhall St. is intended to have multiple groupings of planting strips w/ permeable materials to add interest and to help maintain on-site surface water retention. These planting strips are intended to be located between the street and the pedestrian sidewalk along with various groupings of trees, along the buildings primary frontage. Pattern of Street Trees: The pattern of street trees relates directly to the buildings reliefs and design intent, while also maintaining the requirements set forth in Bozeman’s UDC. These trees will be placed within planting strips and maintained in an attractive appearance. Connections between indoor and outdoor spaces are integral to a successful design and vital to a positive experience for residents. Code requirements for open space, Sec. 38.520.060.C, states “up to 50% of the required open space may be provided by private balconies, provided they meet the requirements of subsection B.3”. Only balconies that are at least 36 square feet, with no dimension less than 6 feet, will be counted towards this amount. The rooftop courtyard, will provide approximately 2,525 square feet of open space, leaving the remaining required 175 sf to be dispersed throughout the rest of the building design. The remaining open space requirement is being met through balcony space (1,830 sf.) and residential workout facility area (approximately 490 sf.). These calculations are indicated in the Project Matrix included with these application documents on the Open Space Distribution columns of the spreadsheet.

This presents an opportunity to design a landscape that blends the two neighborhoods together. Also unique to the BG Mill site is that it currently exists as a relic mill, reminding Bozeman of its agricultural history. Looking to the future of our rapidly changing community, it is important to consider sustainable landscapes that not only withstand the harsh climates of our region, but also be beautiful and support the wildlife that reside with us. The proposed landscape addresses these conditions by: x Creating a soft transition between commercial and neighborhood as you move from west to east along East Mendenhall building frontage. o Create a neighborhood garden feel with proposed plantings and tree groves o Blend into adjacent neighborhood to the North x Using recycled material to create texture and acknowledge historic, industrial character x Designing for water wise landscapes o Promote stormwater infiltration with pervious paving and pervious boulevards o Design with drought tolerant plants x Creating pollinator friendly planting areas 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.06 DESIGN GUIDELINES | SUBCHAPTER 4B A | MASS & SCALE 1. Provide density to meet the goals and objectives of the Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan: With 18 total units on 0.51 acres, BG Mill makes good use of its lot area. It is an urban residential development opportunity, which directly relates to the intent identified in Bozeman’s UDC for B-3 zoning. As a residential building, the floor to floor height at level 1 is 15’-0” with large storefront windows to engage the sidewalks and the surrounding streetscape. On levels 2-4 the floor to floor height is 13’-6” to provide larger scale within each unit. Lastly, on level 5 the floor to floor height is 14’-6” to maximize each units oppotunity for addressing the spectacular views the site has to offer. 2. Innovative development and diversity of design is encouraged: BG Mill incorporates a varied material palette of corrugated siding, fiber cement panels, vertical scrim walls, and large glazing elements to relate to both the existing Mill aesthetic and to tie into the high density Community Core. We believe it is important to tie into both the existing fabric as well as tying the new development seen in Bozeman’s Downtown Community. To the understand the design/aesthetic intent of BG Mill the building renderings and elevations provide a more holistic picture of the design intent. 3. A new building should exhibit clear order and comprehensive composite on all elevations: BG Mill establishes itself at the corner of E Mendenhall St. and N Broadway Ave. Due to the site setbacks and easements at the BG Mill location, the site provides a unique lot arrangement. As the building approaches the North East corner, the building tapers to a point and is intended to be treated with glazing. This design intent creates a unique ‘prow’ to the building. The materiality and design at the prow has been applied to the rest of the building so that each intended unit has the availible views and the unique aesthetic carries around the rest of the building and site. 4. Building interface with residential zone properties: BG Mill’s site, zoned B-3, is directly adjacent to M-1, B-2, and R-O zoned properties to the North and East of Downtown Bozeman. To the South & West of the property the B-3 zoning continues into Downtown Bozeman. All façades of the building are resopnding to the required setbacks with an additional railway easement on the East side of the property. B| BUILDING QUALITY 1. New buildings shall be designed to the level of permanence and quality appropriate for Downtown Bozeman: Given that BG Mill is still within the B-3 boundary that makes up Downtown Bozeman, it was important to consider the material context that was shown there. In an effort to deliver quality and timeless building materials, BG Mill implements Fiber Cement Panels and Glazing as its primary materials and Corrugated Metal Panels to tie into the existing urban fabric. All of these materials have been tested over time for their permanence. 2. Sustainable methods and techniques shall be applied to building design but also integrated with site layout and infrastructure design: At a density of 18 units / 0.51 acres the proposed design allows for the residence to live in the “Community Core” which reduces the need and use for cars in the area. Storm water management procedures for on site retention are proposed, while also providing green space to the residents at multiple locations throughout the site. Individual heating systems are planned for each unit as these will be leasable units. The building design plans for recycling/trash chute at each floor to encourage green disposal of waste. Lastly, the envelope and mechanical systems will exceed energy standards as set by the State of Montana. C| BUILDING ROOF FORM 1. Use flat roof lines as the primary roof form: BG Mill’s roof design lends to the buildings aesthetic engagement as it relates to the other B-3 zoned buildings, while also maintaining available locations for the mechanical equipment. Roof top mechanical units will be hidden from the pedestrian experience and the proposed screening will provide for near-zero visibility of the mechanical equipment. 2. Use of other roof forms: The use of a trellis structure is intended at the roof to accomodate sun shading for the roof top balcony. The roof top balcony space also includes a BBQ area, fire pit, and seating area for the use of the residence. 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.07 D| SITE DESIGN 1. Create strong connections between downtown’s sub-districts and between downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods: BG Mill utilizes façade relief and a unique design at all facades along E Mendenhall St. and N Broadway Ave. This, partnered with storefrontage at the ground level, encourages an interaction with pedestrians and brings the five story building down to a pedestrian scale. The landscaped elements around the site allow for integration into the city fabric and pleasurable access to downtown Bozeman’s activity. 2. Public spaces should be made active through programming or utilizing opportunities with adjacent uses that promote vitality and safety: BG Mill’s site offers a small public amenity space to the North East corner of the building. The space is intended to be a more interactive area to allow both pedestrians and residents to utilize the availible seating area. The public space on the North East frontage has incorporated a series of planters & landscaped flower beds to promote a more comfortable seating area. The plantings will provide privacy and will buffer the façade from the pedestrian experience, and also create a buffered experience from the streetscape at the corner of E Mendenhall St. and N Broadway Ave. E| PARKING FACILITIES 1. Enclosed parking, integrated into individual new buildings as well as additions (if feasible), is preferred whenever possible to surface parking lots: BG Mill is planning to house 18 cars in an enclosed at-grade parking garage to meet the required amount of parking stalls required in the B-3 zoned district. With each residential unit having the required 1 stall per unit in the parking garage at Level 1, there is no need for on street parking. Ultimately, this design intent was to help with both the convenience of the residence but also to help de-clutter the intersection at E Mendenhall St. and N Broadway Ave. 2. Shared parking structures are preferred to surface parking lots. A parking structure should be designed so that it creates a visually attractive and active street edge: The building is utilizing enclosed parking in a garage that is hidden from the street frontage, to promote the pedestrian activation at the street frontage. 3. For residential projects, enclosed parking is preferred to surface parking lots: The enclosed parking garage is to be hidden from the street frontage, to promote the pedestrian activation at the street frontage. F| SIGNS 1. Commercial and Mixed Use projects should include a variety of creative and clear signage: BG Mill’s main building signage is still in development as building branding has yet to be finalized. Signage will be located in prominent yet unobtrusive locations at the primary façade, north façade, according to the signage standards as set forth in the design guidelines and Unified Development Code. 2. Residential projects are encouraged to include building identification signage to add to Bozeman’s overall sense of place: The main building identification signage will prominently add a sense of place to the building as a point of reference along the North elevation. Utilizing the existing buildings signage has been discussed for potential interior applications of increased connection to the original site. 3. All signs should be developed with the overall context of the building and the area in mind. The placement or location of a sign is a critical factor in maintaining the order and integrity of a building. Consistent placement of signs according to building type, size, location and even building materials creates a visual pattern that enhances the street scape experience: BG Mill’s building signage will compliment the proposed design, while establishing a sense of place visible from the surrounding neighborhoods. See signage calculation for allowable building signage. 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.08 G| STREET PATTERNS 1. Alleys: The existing alley, to the West of the lot, is nearly undefinable and has not integrated site drainage. The intent of the new site design as it relates to the alley is to update and provide a new/identifiable access accross the entire site. 2. Streetscape: The streetscape at BG Mill has been designed to align with the landscaping proposed. The design streetscape is in line with what is identified in Bozeman’s Code of Ordinances. Additional landscape details have been provided in the landscape section and the landscape project narratives. 3. Planting strips: Planting strips will be maintained to keep with the existing design of the streetscape. 4. Pattern of street trees: The pattern of street trees is intended to create a soft transition between commercial and residential neighborhoods of the surrounding area, while addressing the requirements of Bozeman’s Code of Ordinances. The use of recycled materials is intended to acknowledge the historic/industrial nature of the site and the surrounding neighborhoods. H| LANDSCAPE DESIGN 1. Preserve and maintain mature trees and significant vegetation that are a direct enhancement of the pedestrian streetscape environment: The landscape will include planting areas with ornamental grasses, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Required City of Bozeman landscape performance points will be met with a combination of drought tolerant plants and enhanced pedestrian areas. See landscape plans for more information on the design that is being proposed at the ground floor and common courtyard. I | UTILITIES 1. Orient service entrances, waste disposal areas and other similar uses toward service lanes away from major streets: The waste disposal, trash room, is located directly adjacent to the main site access along E. Mendenhall St. with access to the continuous alley for ease of access across the site. This location takes advantage of the existing site circulation and pattern of service areas located off of the alley, off of E. Mendenhall St. 2. Position service areas to minimize conflicts with other abutting uses: Trash bins are located in the conditioned trash room for easy access off the alley while trying to keep these services away from the pedestrian store frontage. J| SITE FURNITURE 1. Site furniture should be simple in character: In order to maximize the usage of the site and comply with frontage setback requirements, integrated site furniture has been provided to coinside with the design aesthetic at the prow of the building and the recycled materials used within the proposed landscaping plan. 004 PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|004 Notes from previous submittal: • In 2017 the owner paid $13,123 for the Cash-in-Lieu of Water Rights CASH-IN-LIEU OF WATER RIGHTS !"!!!#"$% &’()*+ ,++- ,--./01 """" 2(""""!3 4--5’ 4- &)63’)78 ++./013+ ,-- ./01’33+’9::&:!" $5--:+:’9: ’:)%;5+’5< !=:’53+ ! >4<?"""@4+3 ’9:;5’’--5 $--:’ 3+" 4@’:-53+3-A+3-" !B4@4@- :’53 $C !BD" E!B 4@):$B " ".’3+ ./01+:’5+;-’3 2533:’-’’- "!F4@5325 :-+’+!B4A! >4 E " F4/+533--+-’3./01 .;;5+3’9:: ;5)-"!F-2:’35--= %-’-3%2’-+’9:7;5: !"" #$%& ’’ ()*+( PROJECT NARRATIVE SPR SUBMITTAL BG MILL | NORTHERN PACIFIC ADD, S07, T02 S, R06 E, LOT 1, PLAT C-23-A11 | BOZEMAN, MT, 59715 BG MILL|11.10 PHYSICAL GLAZING PRODUCT DATA SHEET Product Data Sheet Vitro Architectural Glass Aesthetic Description Solarban® 60 solar control, low-e glass by Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) was engineered to control solar heat gain, which is essential to minimizing cooling costs. In a standard one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban® 60 glass offers an exterior appearance similar to clear, uncoated glass. With a very good Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.39, Solarban® 60 glass blocks 66 percent of the total solar energy while allowing 70 percent of the visible light to pass through. This combination produces an excellent Light to Solar Gain (LSG) ratio of 1.79, along with exceptional insulating performance, as evidenced by its 0.29 winter nighttime U-value. Aesthetic Options Solarban® 60 glass can be coated on Starphire® glass and paired with Starphire® glass to produce an IGU with exceptional clarity and solar control characteristics. For even more color and performance options, it can be coated on the second (#2) surface of nearly all Vitro’s wide range of tinted glasses. It also can be combined in an IGU with any Vitro tinted glass, Solarcool® reflective glass or Vistacool® subtly reflective, color-enhanced glass (see performance data on back page).

Energy Use & Operating Cost Reduction: An energy modeling study conducted by an independent energy design and consulting firm showed that a building can potentially save millions of dollars over its lifetime with Solarban® 60 glass instead of less advanced glasses. The study showed that by substituting Solarban® 60 glass instead of dual-pane tinted glass, a typical glass-walled, eight-story office building in Boston could lower its initial HVAC investment by nearly $350,000 and its annual energy costs by more than $80,000. Carbon emissions from the same building also were reduced by more than 300 tons per year.

In 2014, there are only three. The Montana Elevator Co. was an important franchise of elevators throughout the state and Gallatin County. The development of this elevator at the terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad aided in the continues development of Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley as one of the primary agricultural centers of Montana. At a time when grain farming was focused on numerous small family farms, local elevators were important as terminals between the farms and the distant centers connected by the railroad. This specific elevator complex is one of the last remaining vestiges of this early- to mid- 20th century operation.

Currently the structure is clad in vertical ribbed metal panels, unpainted, with some of the ancillary additions sheathed in painted, wide dimensioned cement board siding with 10” approximate exposure. The grain bins (silos) are formed by large riveted steel bands. To the east of the elevator structure is a long, single-story, storage/retail building of wood frame construction clad in metal, ribbed, vertical siding. (Feature #2) The foundations material appears to board-formed poured concrete where visible. Roof structure is generally wood framed with corrugated metal roofing. The eastern addition has a more recently installed standing seam metal roof with snow guards. Architectural Description: Setting/Context The grain elevator complex was sited particularly for its relationship to the adjacent railroad spur running to the south of the building crossing the southeastern portion of the lot. The tracks, constructed c. 1910 by the Northern Pacific Railway (NP), were part of an historic network of spur lines in the neighborhood serving a number of local businesses and industries. While most of the railroad spurs in the area have been removed since the 1970s, the track across this lot still remains, providing service to the Ag Depot grain elevator complex immediately west of this site. The spur, now operated by Montana Rail Link (MRL), connects with the current MRL main line about a mile north of this site. The complex is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of North Broadway Avenue and East Mendenhall Street, just one block north of Bozeman’s Main Street, the primary east-west thoroughfare in the valley and commercial core of the city. (Photo 01) The site is approximately three blocks east of the eastern end of the Bozeman Main Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 3 Architectural Description Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: Immediately to the west of the property is a second grain elevator complex, currently operated as the Ag Depot; this larger elevator facility was constructed c. 1947, and as of 2017 still functions as an elevator, agricultural and coal distribution site. (Photo 02 & 05) To the south across the tracks is a large surface parking lot servicing a modern three-story commercial building and the historic Northern Pacific freight house (c. 1910), now occupied by a bar and restaurant. (Photos 03 & 04) The former freight house, southwest of this property, was once served by the same railway spur that serviced this site. Most other Main Street buildings in the immediate area are of modern construction, though a former Milwaukee Road freight house still exists immediately south of the Northern Pacific building. East of the lot is a new residential development located at the intersection of Mendenhall Street and North Broadway Avenue off Village Downtown Boulevard constructed in the early 2000’s. (Photo 06) The north side of Mendenhall Street currently displays an eclectic, mixed-use streetscape, with vernacular, historic-era single-family residences interspersed with larger, non-historic commercial, industrial, and apartment buildings. Sanborn Maps indicate this area was once densely populated with primarily one and two- story houses on lots approximately 140 feet long by 28 feet wide and serviced by an east/west alley. Only limited contextual integrity remains from the period of the date of construction and the Montana Elevator Company’s height of activity. (Photos 07 & 08) Site Context The site is comprised of a single lot, generally rectangular in form and measuring approximately 250 feet in the east/west direction and 98 feet in the north/south dimension. The total site area is approximately 23,200 square feet or just over a half acre of land. The main elevator structure is sited at the western edge of the lot and comprises about a quarter of the site area. (Photo 09) The later freestanding storage building to the east sits immediately adjacent. A small one-story addition to the west of the main elevator complex is likely non- original, but from the historic era of construction. A small, unimproved parking area services the complex and is located and accessed off East Mendenhall Street and sits just north of the east building. Building Description General MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 4 Architectural Description Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: The 1928 structure primarily consists of the rectangular form of the elevator complex (Feature #1) which encompasses four (4) grain storage bins (silos), a delivery bay and former scale room, a series of distribution chutes with access platforms, and the loading dock area. The office area sits to the north of the elevator and appears be a later addition or remodel, with date of construction or remodel undetermined (Photo 10). To the west is a linear one story storage addition adjacent to the elevator, but with no apparent physical internal connection. (Photo 11). The east building (Feature #2) is detached but is in close proximity to the elevator structure. (Photo 12). Elevator Structure (Feature #1) The elevator is the primary structure on the site and was constructed in 1928. With a height reaching in excess of an estimated fifty feet, it serves as a landmark at the east end of the City of Bozeman and the east terminus of Mendenhall Street. (Photo 13). While the primary mass of the current structure likely dates from 1928, the facility has seen a series of small additions, remodels, and repairs, using a variety of materials and construction methods. With only minimal documentation available, it is not definitive which building materials may be original and what are from a later period. The main structural form is four stories, rests on an elevated concrete foundation, and has east/west shed roofs flanking either side of the five story elevator tower. (Photo 14). The elevator tower is capped with an east/west gabled roof with rounded apex, also clad in corrugated metal roofing. Generally clad in large, unpainted corrugated metal panels the monolithic gray mass is prominent in the skyline. Few openings pierce the mass with just three large openings including two overhead doors and loading area occur at the first floor. (Photo 14) The upper areas are punched with a small number of other openings, most likely used for ventilation or part of the grain distribution mechanism. In plan, the largest interior space (on the north end of the structure) served as a drive-through grain loading and weighing area. Entered from the east and west, both from a small gravel incline, trucks loaded with grain were weighed and unloaded. A large rectangular concrete formed pit approximately five (5) feet deep held the truck scales (no longer extant). (Photo 15). This space looms three and a half stories tall and is inter-tangled with webbing of steel, wood and sheet metal. (Photo 16). In the southeast corner of the space two of the cylindrical steel grain bins interrupt the rectangular form. A small opening allows movement through the space adjacent to MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 5 Architectural Description Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: the bins. Vertical steel truss members, equipment and stairs clutter the space and make it barely passable. (Photo 17). The grain storage bins, at the southeast corner of the primary mass, are comprised of wide, smooth steel bands riveted together to create vertical, cylindrical bins. The interior bin diameter is approximately 25 feet. Small doors at the base of the bins provide access to the interior where arriving grains were stored for later distribution. (Photo 18). The four grain bins are approximately three stories in height and are capped with an east/west gable roof with a rounded apex. The roof is clad in corrugated metal with a small rectangular window opening in the east gable end. The window sash no longer exists. The central elevator core space is interspersed with structural members and elevator equipment. A narrow wood open stair leads to upper level platforms for access to equipment, viewing and maintenance. A large shaft sits adjacent to the stairs and is clad in horizontal wood planks. (See photo 19). Two of the platforms, one above the other were only partially accessible. (Photos 20 & 21). The uppermost platform was unsafe for anything more than visual inspection from the metal ladder that provided access. The last space of the primary elevator form is the large loading dock area where materials were distributed to awaiting rail cars on the adjacent tracks to the south. The room is finished generally with flat wood planks and other piecework of varying materials. (Photo 22). This space is also approximately three stories in volume but is also interrupted with a large grain funnel and attached chutes and sheet metal piping. If the adjacent attached structure to the west were at any time accessible from the main elevator, it would have been through this space. Evidence of what may have been an opening occurs at the west wall. (Photo 23). West Addition Attached and adjacent to the west is a one-story addition. While the interior of the addition was inaccessible, the construction and materials suggest it may be a later, historic-era addition. The wood-frame construction is also clad in corrugated sheet metal and capped with a shed roof sloped to the south with exposed wood rafter tails. A shallow, double-sloped roof covers the addition. A lean-to open porch supported by pipe columns is attached to the north elevation and is accessed by an elevated concrete platform through a large opening, now boarded. (Photo 24) MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 6 Architectural Description Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: Offices North of the main elevator core is a wood framed, one-story office space comprised of three rooms, closets and a restroom. The exterior is clad in a painted cement board siding with an exposure of approximately 10”. Evidence of earlier metal cladding and ship lapped board siding can be seen in a few areas. A wood framed shed roof covers the space and is capped with corrugated metal roofing. On the interior, one space opens to the next. The southern-most office has two doors leading to the scale area. These spaces are generally finished in drywall and are trimmed with simple window and door casing and baseboard trim. (Photos 25-26). Few windows of a variety of styles provide natural light to the spaces. An upper level appears to occur over office 2, but access to this space was undetermined. This later addition adds another full height floor and is clad in corrugated metal and capped with a shallow single-sloped roof. (Photo 27) East Building (Feature #2) The final component of the complex is a linear building located immediately adjacent and east of the grain storage bins. The building is not physically attached to the elevator and appears to be of later construction, though it clearly dates from the historic era. Also resting on a concrete foundation, this frame structure is one story in height and also clad in metal siding, but of a ribbed form. The roof is comprised of a single gable running east/west with standing seam metal roof, metal soffits and metal snow guards. The north, east and south elevations are punched with windows in a regularly spaced fenestration pattern. Single entry doors are located on the north and east facades. The general appearance suggests this building may have served as a retail venue for the Montana Elevator company. (Photos 28, 29, 30).

While many of the valley’s homesteaders initially focused on supplying vegetable crops to the region’s mining communities, they soon realized that the region’s climate and soil conditions were ideally suited to the cultivation of small grains, and by the end of the decade grain production was a primary economic focus. That and other grains were marketed to the United States Army at nearby Fort Ellis and to nearby towns, although the region’s remoteness and lack of transportation options limited the potential growth of the agricultural economy. This difficulty ended with the construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad (NP) into southwest Montana in 1882. The arrival of NP gave the Bozeman area its first reliable, all-season transportation corridor, a development that was transformative for the region. This new accessibility spurred population growth and economic development in Bozeman itself, and gave the valley’s farmers a practical and relatively inexpensive method of shipping products to more-distant markets. This greatly strengthened the valley’s agricultural base, while encouraging the local development of businesses focusing on grain wholesaling, processing and shipment — primarily flour mills and grain elevators. Development of the infrastructure needed to support the shipment and processing of Gallatin Valley grain was well underway by the late 1880s, with Bozeman serving as the hub of this commercial activity. The first major facility — and the largest — was a large flour mill and elevator complex developed by the successful Bozeman entrepreneur Nelson Story beginning in 1882, located about two miles north of town at a location suitable for a water-powered mill. The NP almost immediately constructed a spur line to serve the story MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 9 History of Property Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: operation, while story’s early competitors constructed elevator facilities alongside the existing NP tracks on the northeast edge of town. Spurred by the construction of the railroad and the new businesses it attracted, Bozeman’s northeast neighborhood quickly became the town’s de facto industrial quadrant. Bozeman’s population growth and industrial development continued for the remainder of the 19th century and into the 20th, with an accompanying expansion and stabilization of the valley’s wholesale agricultural economy. By the early 20th century, multiple small elevators existed along the NP main line in Bozeman. Following a pattern seen throughout the Northern Plains, these elevators were relatively small, standard-plan structures, with wood-crib grain bins and lapped-wood exterior cladding. The earliest Bozeman elevators were locally owned and built, though as the 1900s progressed larger regional and national companies began building and operating elevators, as well. The size and geography of Bozeman’s northeast industrial neighborhood changed dramatically during the first decade of the 1900s, with the introduction of competition to the Gallatin Valley railroad scene. The corporate predecessor of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (“The Milwaukee Road”) completed its transcontinental main line across southern Montana in 1909, and a Milwaukee affiliate constructed a branch line through the Gallatin Valley to Bozeman almost immediately thereafter. The new branch traversed the eastern end of Bozeman from south to north, creating the first direct rail access to Bozeman’s primary commercial area. The NP quickly responded to this competitive threat by constructing its own spur line to the East Main Street area, and erecting a new freight house nearly adjacent to the Milwaukee’s Bozeman facilities. This created a new focus for Bozeman industrial activity at the eastern end of Main Street, served by two competing rail lines, and this became the location for much of the town’s early 20th-century industrial growth. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 10 History of Property Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: The next two decades saw the construction of a variety of industrial facilities on the once-vacant land east and north of the NP and Milwaukee freight houses. Reflecting the advance of the automobile age, bulk-oil facilities were prominent in the area, but two substantial grain elevators also appeared, built on adjacent lots just north of the NP freight house and served by an NP industrial spur. The earliest was a 45,000-bushel facility built in 1928 by the Montana Elevator Company, on the southeast corner of Mendenhall and Ida Streets. A second and larger elevator later appeared to the west, along a streetscape that also included various commercial warehouses, petroleum distributers, and other small-scale industrial enterprises. The Montana Elevator Company was perhaps the largest operator of small-town grain elevators in Montana during the first half of the 20th century. Established in Lewistown in 1904, the company apparently built several dozen elevators in Montana grain country over the next two decades, generally using the same wood-crib design that was the standard for the Northern Plains. The company also marketed its own line of animal feeds and other agricultural products, using the “Ceretana” brand name. Montana Elevator remained an independent operation through the 1960s, with its assets later acquired by the Cargill agricultural conglomerate. Montana Elevator locations were particularly associated with Milwaukee Road rail lines in Montana, and the Milwaukee’s Gallatin Valley branch line hosted a number of Montana Elevator sites. The surviving elevators at Menard and Accola, for example, are both former Montana Elevator properties. Montana Elevator’s Mendenhall Street facility was apparently among the later grain elevators constructed by the company, and while the structure’s overall layout and exterior appearance resembled that of earlier Great Plains elevators, the structure reflected period advances in grain-elevator engineering and design. Eschewing the timber-frame design and wood-crib grain bin arrangement of earlier elevators, the Mendenhall Street elevator featured a steel-truss structural framework and cylindrical steel grain bins. Steel-bin elevator MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 11 History of Property Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: designs were developed nationally during the late 1800s and saw only limited use in Montana; nationally, they are seen as a transitional structural form between early wood-crib designs and contemporary concrete elevator structures. Few elevators of this design likely exist in Montana today, though steel-bin grain storage remains common, both at individual farms and at terminal facilities. City directories for Bozeman indicate that Montana Elevator continued operating its Mendenhall Street facility through approximately 1970. The structure saw a number of structural changes over four decades of Montana Elevator ownership, including new exterior cladding and the addition of a smaller, freestanding storage building to the east. (Though undocumented, this building may have been associated with Montana Elevator’s retail retail feed and farm products business.) The dates of these changes are not documented, but their visual appearance suggests that they may have occurred in the 1930s or 1940s. Similarly, the commodities wholesaled at the facility are not documented, though given the valley’s agricultural economy barley may have been a product stored there. By 1971 the Mendenhall elevator was operated by the grain division of Con Agra, Incorporated, later known as Cargill. The facility was unoccupied int he late 1970s, before being acquired by Gallatin Valley businessmen Richard Boylan and Jim Grey, who operated B-G Grain at the site. B-G wholesaled and shipped malting barley produced by local farmers, and operated from the elevator until the mid-1990s. Other businesses — not related to grain production or wholesaling — utilized portions of the facility over the following decade, but the property is now vacant.

These elevators, nearly all sharing the iconic vertical design characteristic of the structure type, were among the earliest and most ubiquitous industrial facilities in the Bozeman area, and were strong visual reflections of the community’s economic focus on agriculture through the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Collectively, Bozeman’s grain elevators, flour mills, and vegetable processing facilities were key essential components of the Gallatin Valley agricultural economy, while simultaneously providing employment to city residents and indirectly helping shape the community’s historic identity. This importance continued through the middle years of the twentieth century. Except for the large Story Mill complex located north of town, Bozeman’s historic grain elevators all existed in the town’s northeast quadrant, scattered along the network of railway lines and spurs that crisscrossed the area. They were among the larger structures in an eclectic, mixed neighborhood of vernacular residential and small-scale industrial buildings, prominent visual landmarks in the area and important character-defining features in a series of intriguing, Montana urban streetscapes. Three historic grain elevator facilities remain in this Bozeman neighborhood in 2017, with varying levels and aspects of integrity. This facility is one of two that remains much of its historic interior configuration, and that continues to be associated with an historic railway spur line. Although the elevator itself is no longer functional, it retains a relatively strong level of historic integrity overall, and is the older of the MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 15 Statement of Significance Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: city’s two best-preserved elevators. It is also noteworthy for its construction and technology, an early and locally uncommon example of a steel bin elevator design, an engineering contrast from the wood-crib elevators that were far more common in Montana. For these reasons, the Montana Elevator Company grain elevator is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places with local significance under Criteria “A” and “C.” The structure is significant under Criterion A for its association with the agricultural history of the Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley, the area’s prime economic force during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Along with the city’s other elevator facilities, the Montana Elevator provided grain wholesaling and warehousing services that were essential to the valley’s agricultural community and the elevators themselves became iconic representations of that industry. The elevator is significant under Criterion C as a well-preserved, characteristic example of a small-town Montana grain elevator facility from the early 20th century. The elevator continues to display an overall massing and spatial arrangement that is highly reflective of the hundreds of small grain elevators that once existed in nearly every rail-served town in the agricultural regions of Montana and the Northern Plains. Once visual landmarks throughout the region, the number of small grain elevators in the state has declined significantly since the middle twentieth century, And this is a strong visual example. Internally, the structure is also significant for itw use of steel structural framing and cylindrical metal storage bins, both relative rarities in the structure type. MONTANA HISTORIC PROPERTY RECORD PAGE 16 Integrity Property Name: Montana Elevator Co. grain elevator Site Number: INTEGRITY (location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, association) Overall, Bozeman’s Montana Elevator Company elevator appears to retain a good level of historic integrity, although the facility has almost certainly undergone some changes since its construction. The 1943 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map fo the area shows the primary mass of the building in its current location, and with the approximate size and special arrangements that remain evident today. For functional reasons, it is likely that this overall massing dates to the structure’s initial completion in 1927. No documentation exists to document the chronology of modifications to the building, but based on a contemporary visual examination it is likely that some changes occurred, likely during the facility’s first two decades of use. The current metal exterior cladding, for example, may note be original, and the Feature 2 ancillary building to the east is not shown on the 1943 Sanborn map. Other, smaller, changes have likely taken place as well, but based on the structure’s overall visual qualities and condition it is believed that these changes took place prior to perhaps the 1950s. In its current configuration and visual appearance, the structure is probably little-changed from 60 to 70 years ago, and it thus continues to evoke the appearance that it displayed during its period of significance.
