I have lived in the Historic District since 1994. We moved to Bozeman in 1993 and soon after bought our home at 921 S.
Willson Ave.
Subsequently, we began the on-going process of remodeling and renovating a hundred year old home. In both 1998 and
2005 we were awarded the Historic Preservation Award for our efforts. We have been successful at adapting an older
home for the lifestyle of a modern family.
When we bought the house, there were seemingly very few renovation projects in the District Since then, we have
witnessed huge changes in the neighborhood. It's gratifying to see the community's increased appreciation of its original
core. Bozeman's Historic District should reflect the growth and innovation that exists all over the Valley. I would like very
much to be a part of this by serving on the Historic Preservation Advisory Board
Since moving to Bozeman, I have been a full time mom. My prior career was in advertising and marketing. Now I find as
my children have grown, I have time for more public service. The changing face of our community is of great interest to
me. I hope to learn more about and contribute to the District's development. Historic preservation should not be static.
With our proximity to MSU, with its prestigious architecture department, I would hope to see historically"true" but vital
renovations that reflect this dynamic community.
Aside from school volunteering, I served on the Friends of the Library board from 1995 through 1999.
Please accept this application for my participation on the Historic Preservation Advisory Board.
Thank you.
