STATUS NOTES ON STATUS CHANGE
Original location
Addition/alteration The original home appears to have been built between 1902-03 and is assumed to have been the typical
I-House form of two rooms wide and one room deep, with a bay window on the south side and a porch
across the main (east) facade. By 1904, when the first Sanborn Fire Insurance map was published for the
block, an extension was on the rear of the house, making the plan T-shaped. A porch had also been
added to the south side of the rear addition. The 1912 Sanborn map shows a ½-story addition on top of
the rear (west) part of the house, and a 1-story addition on the north side of the rear of the house. No
additional changes are shown on the 1927 or 1943 Sanborn maps. At some point, however, a second-
story porch was added to the existing porch on the south side of the house, and an entrance and
enclosed staircase were added just west of the bay window. Newspaper ads suggest this occurred in the
mid-1920s. That entrance is currently marked as 411 ½. At an unknown date but likely after 1943,
Sanborn maps suggest the original front porch that spanned nearly the entirety of the main façade was replaced with a portico over the main entrance.
A 1984 photo of the property shows that the windows on the first floor of the primary façade used to be
2-by-3 with the top two lights in each window consisting of a decorative diamond pattern. Sometime
after 1984, those two windows were replaced with single pane glass and the window frames were
replaced with simpler forms from their previously wider trims and more prominent lintels. The rest of
the window frames were also replaced with the same simpler forms.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The site is a 1.5-story, wood frame I-House. The original footprint is obscured by additions but was likely two rooms wide by one
room deep. The house retains simple Colonial elements of a symmetrical façade, pitched roof, brick chimney, roof dormers, and
portico. The house is clad in replacement horizontal vinyl siding, sits on a concrete foundation, and is sheltered beneath a side gable

asphalt shingle roof. The house was originally a single-family residence but was converted into a multi-unit dwelling by the mid-
1920s.
The primary façade faces east onto N Tracy Avenue and includes a symmetrical arrangement of features. Centered on the façade is a
concrete pad stoop covered by a front gable portico supported by two curved brackets. The front gable of the portico is sided with
the same horizontal vinyl siding as the rest of the house and is covered with asphalt shingles. The entrance includes a modern metal
storm door. The first floor of the east façade includes two replacement vinyl sash, single pane windows. Though the windows have
been replaced, the openings appear to be original. The second floor of this façade includes two roof dormers with 1-over-1 double
hung sash windows. A brick chimney is located near the center along the gable ridge.
A 1.5-story addition is located on the southern half of the rear/west façade. Sanborn maps indicate that a one-story addition was
added to the rear of the house by 1904. A second level was added to this addition by 1912 making it 1.5 stories. The south elevation
entrance was likely added by the mid-1920s to provide access to the upper-level unit. This entrance features a single story shed roof
and an enclosed staircase to the second story unit. The south façade of the rear addition has a concrete pad patio on the first level
and a second-story porch with wood post supports and wood railings. It is covered with an asphalt shingle shed roof. An entrance to
the ground level is also located on the west end of the porch, and the enclosed staircase leads to an entrance on the second story at
the east end of the balcony. A three-section bay window protrudes from the first floor of the east end of the south façade.
A one-story section is located on the north façade of the 1.5-story rear addition, also added by 1912. This rear, one-story section
features a small fixed single pane window and a small 1-by-1 sliding window. Another small 1-by-1 sliding window is located on the north façade of the two-story addition.
The north façade of the original massing and the west façade of the two-story addition include single, rectangular 1-over-1 double
hung sash windows on the first and second floors. Another single 1-over-1 double hung sash window is located above the bay
window on the south façade. Two brick chimneys are present within the roof structure. One is located along the gable ridge of the
original massing, and the other is along the gable ridge of the two-story rear addition. A paved pathway extends from the street
sidewalk to the front door of the east façade. Paved pathways also extend around the north side of the house to the rear porch.
No other features are present on the site. Vegetation on the property includes two deciduous bushes on either side of the primary façade, and other deciduous trees and bushes along the northern border of the property.
HISTORY OF PROPERTY
Prepared by Crystal Alegria, Extreme History Project, Bozeman, MT
The property currently addressed as 411 North Tracy Avenue is in Beall’s Third Addition that was platted on December 28, 1891.
Fred C. Jacobs purchased this property on June 17, 1902 and most likely built the residence on the property between 1902 and 1903.
Fred C. Jacobs was born on June 28, 1873 in Morton, Indiana. He came to Bozeman in 1899 and lived here the rest of his life. He
worked as a carpenter and was in business for himself. He married Virginia L. Bartholomew on March 14, 1904 (Bozeman Daily
Chronicle, 10 March, 1964).
William O. Bohart purchased this property from Fred C. Jacobs on December 28, 1903. William O. Bohart was born on January 03,
1877 in Paris, Missouri. He came to Bozeman as a youth, attending the Montana State Academy in 1897. He married Margaret
Johnston on October 26, 1904 in Marysville, Missouri, and the couple returned to Bozeman to live. Bohart was a rancher, cattleman
and businessman while living in the Gallatin Valley, and he was responsible for bringing the first Brown Swiss cattle to the valley.
Bohart helped organize the Bozeman Country Club, the Baxter Hotel, and the Deaconess Hospital. He also operated a meat market
with his son, W. P. Bohart, for many years. Margaret Bohart died in 1947 and William died in 1961 (Great Falls Tribune, 27 October
1961).
William O. Bohart sold this property to Robert A. Fitzhugh on June 25, 1904. Robert and Fannie Fitzhugh lived in this residence during
ownership. While living here, Robert worked as a county assessor (R. L. Polk & Co., 1906). Robert and Fannie sold the property to

William Fitzhugh, possibly a relative, on November 11, 1907. William Fitzhugh sold to Frank P. and Ollie Baker on September 16,
1909.
While living in the residence, Frank Baker worked as a railroad conductor for Northern Pacific out of Billings MT. Ollie Baker was born
February 29, 1880 in Shelby County, Missouri to Thomas Jefferson and Nancy Allen Collins Davis (Mexico Ledger, 24 July 1967). Frank
and Ollie Baker sold this property to Alex McLain on June 10, 1910.
Alex McLain lived in this residence during ownership. Alex McLain was born in Illinois on June 18, 1865. He came to Montana as a
young man, establishing Bozeman as his home (The Bozeman Courier, 17 April 1936). Alex McLain married Elizabeth Wrenn on July
30, 1899 in Bozeman, Montana. Elizabeth died on September 17, 1908 of nephritis. Alex then married Helen Lowe later in 1908.
Helen died on July 20, 1913 (The Bozeman Daily Chronicle, 26 July 1913). While living in this residence, Alex worked first as an
engineer and then as a painter. He died in 1936 after a fall from the top of a ladder while working on a paint job in the Club Café
located at 117 East Main Street. Alex McLain had sold this property to Henry and Inga Roys on May 07, 1914 but later purchased it
back from them on May 06, 1924.
Alice Johnson purchased this property from Alex McLain on July 31, 1933. While owning this property, Alice lived at 506 North
Bozeman Avenue (R. L. Polk & Co., 1912 – 1944).
During Alice Johnson’s ownership, multiple families lived in the residence, including Earl and Hattie Lannin and their son, Vernon
from approximately 1931 to 1936. Earl Lannin was born in Philipsburg, Montana on January 13, 1890 to Charles and Louisa Lannin.
He attended school in Philipsburg and then graduated from Butte High in Butte, MT. He went on to attend Montana State University
where he became a track star. While living in this residence, he worked as an electrician. Earl Lannin married Hattie Toepper in 1915
in Bozeman, MT (The Montana Standard, 27 July 1979). Hattie Toepper was born November 25, 1891 in Bozeman (The Montana
Standard, 07 Feb 1963).
From approximately 1937 to 1939, Mrs. Katherine Roche and her daughter, Elizabeth Roche, lived in the residence. Katherine (or
Catherine) Hynes was born February 19, 1876 in Rush City, Minnesota to Dr. Lawrence and Janie Hynes. She married Matthew Roche
in Billings, MT in 1907. The couple then moved to Bozeman, MT where Matthew Roche was a businessman, working for Bozeman
Marble Works for a time and also farming. Matthew Roche died in 1920 (The Independent Record, 21 July 1960; The Bozeman
Courier, 01 December 1920). While living in this residence, daughter Elizabeth Roche worked as a stenographer for the County
Relieve Administration (R. L. Polk & Co., 1937).
Alice Johnson died in 1944 and the executor of her estate, Keith Gastineau, sold the property to M. W. and Ellen Townsend on
October 22, 1944. They quickly sold the property to Lawrence Wittman on September 26, 1945. Lawrence Wittman then sold the property on March 26, 1946 to Glen H. and Irene J. Crabb.
Glen and Irene Crabb lived in the residence for a time during ownership. Glen Crabb was born September 6, 1912 in Illinois to Elmer
and Mary Crabb. While living in this residence he worked as a postal clerk. Glen Crabb married Irene Urdahl in May of 1941 (The
Montana Standard, 25 May 1941). While living in this residence, Irene worked as a clerk at McCay hardware which was located at 27
E. Main Street (R. L. Polk & Co., 1947 - 1950). Irene’s mother, Mrs. Martha Urdahl, also lived with them in this house. By 1954, the
Crabb’s had moved out of this house and installed two families as renters, Edward and Beulah Amsden and George and Lucille
Hedrick. By 1958, only the Amsden’s remained in the residence.
Edward and Beulah Amsden lived in this residence from approximately 1956 to 1965. Edward was born on January 5, 1916 in
Hettinger, North Dakota. Beulah McPherson was born in 1916 at Gallatin Gateway, Montana. Edward and Beulah were married on
December 2, 1955 in Bozeman, Montana just prior to moving into this residence (Ancestry.com, 2017). While living here Edward
Amsden worked as a logger for Yellowstone Pine, and as a custodian for the Bozeman Veterinary Hospital. Beulah Amsden worked
for the Chamber-Fisher Department Store located at 7-11 West Main Street in downtown Bozeman.
Irene Fulker purchased the property from Glen and Irene Crabb on September 17, 1962. She then lived in the residence along with
the Amsden’s. When the Amsden’s moved out of the residence around 1965, Irene Fulker always had a tenant living in the residence.
In the Polk City Directories, this is referenced as a separate living quarters with a “1/2” address. This indicates two separate living
quarters in the upstairs or downstairs or in different areas of the house. Most of the tenants of Irene Fulker’s were students.

Marjorie Irene Richardson, the daughter of Irene Fulker, obtained the property from her mother, Irene Fulker, on February 18, 1965.
Irene Fulker continued to live in the residence until 1973.
The Richardson Family Trust sold the property to Craig R. and Lisa A. Woolard on November 7, 2013. Craig and Lisa Woolard sold the
property to Law Engineering LLC on January 28, 2014. Law Engineering LLC sold the property to Vistas LLC on February 06, 2015 and
Vistas LLC sold the property to Mark R. and Kathleen A. Comaratta on October 04, 2016. Kathleen A. Comaratta sold the property to
Barking Frog LLC on May 20, 2022, the current owner as of October 2023.
This residence contains two living spaces and according to the City Directories, there were often two families living here historically.
This was very typical of houses on the north side of Bozeman, especially on North Tracy Avenue, which was a very working-class
neighborhood. The residents of this house worked as clerks, stenographers, custodians, bank teller, in construction, and in logging.

B – Persons YES NO No research was uncovered to suggest associations with significant persons under Criterion
B.
C – Characteristics YES NO
Though the structure does not retain its original siding, windows, and front porch, the overall
design, feeling, and association are retained from within the period of significance of the
Historic District (1890-1930). The structure retains enough integrity to convey its historic
context and serves as one of the few remaining examples of I-House design in the area. The
replacement siding mimics the original siding, likely horizontal wood boards, and although the
windows have been replaced, the fenestrations appear original. Changes to siding type and
windows are common among historic properties and often necessary for the longevity of the
home. Furthermore, the additions to the rear of the property were incorporated within the
first 10-15 years of the home and support the history of the Historic District as a working-class
neighborhood where many homes were altered to accommodate multiple dwelling units.
Therefore, the structure is recommended eligible for listing in the NR under Criterion C as a
fine example of an early twentieth century I-House building type.
D – Information YES NO The site is unlikely to yield important information regarding research questions under Criterion
D.
COMMENTS
411 N. Tracy Ave was included in the City’s 1984 architectural survey and was subsequently determined to be a contributing property
within the National Register-listed North Tracy Avenue Historic District (McDonald 1984). It is recognized as one of the best
remaining examples of the I-House building type in Bozeman (Cohen 1985), with other examples being at nearby 322 N. Tracy Ave
and 308 S. Tracy Ave. Considering the rarity of this house type in Bozeman, its excellent condition, and overall integrity of design,
feeling, and association, Metcalf concurs that it contributes to the historic district and also recommends the property individually
eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C.
INTEGRITY (LOCATION, DESIGN, SETTING, MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, FEELING, ASSOCIATION)
The site is in good condition overall. The house retains integrity aspects of location, design, setting, feeling, and association. The
house has not been moved from its setting in a residential neighborhood of similar age houses and maintains its design and use as a
multi-unit dwelling beginning as early as 1904 and as late as 1926 (still within the North Tracy Avenue Historic District’s period of
significance). Integrity aspects of materials and workmanship have been impacted by the replacement of the front porch with a
portico, vinyl siding, windows, and front door.
POSSIBLE IMPACTS TO THE SITE
