Bozeman, Montana, situated near the center of the well-watered and fertile
Gallatin Valley, is one of the earliest established, trading communities in the
State. At an elevation of 4795 feet, the city has historically served as the
commercial hub of a large agricultural area, and enjoys that role today. The
current population of Bozeman is 21,645. The historic resources included in this
nomination reflect the evolution of this western Montana community from a
frontier outpost located on the west side of Bozeman Pass to a prosperous stable
commercial and educational center.
The commercial district in Bozeman today reflects the late 19th to early 20th
century period and is composed primarily of masonry structures of varied height
and design. Although little historic fabric exists at the street level, the
commercial district is unified by intact upper levels, cornices, and fenestration
patterns. The overall massing and building ornamentation lend the greatest
visual. cohesion. The earliest period of commercial construction represented in
Bozeman is of Italianate and Commercial Queen Anne styles dating from the 1870's
through the early 1890's. However, over one-half of the commercial buildings on
Main Street either date in construction or facade remodelling from the turn of
the century to the late 1930's. These buildings are of a variety of styles,
including Art Deco, Neo-gothic Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival, using
glazed brick, terra cotta, molded concrete, and stucco to achieve an overall
polychromatic and highly textured appearance. After the 1930's a number of the
city's historic commercial buildings were altered, and a few significant Art Deco
and Streamline Moderne storefronts were yet added after the historic period.
Some of these later buildings and a few of the International Style may gain
significance in future years.
Residential construction represented in this nomination of historic resources in
Bozeman spans the historic period of significance from the 1870's through the
mid-1930's. Some of the oldest houses in the city are of brick veneer
construction and date to the early 18801s, a time when brick served as an
effective symbol of the community's self-perceived permanence. Many of these
tri-gabled dwellings with irregular massing are located on the north side of
town, which was the part the community to be settled earliest, and are included
in this nomination as independent resources.
By the 1880's South Central Avenue, later to be renamed South Willson Avenue,
became the most prestigious address in town. Although a number of extraordinary,
high style residences were built here on the south side of town during the final
decade of the 19th century, it was not until after the turn of the century that
the ambitious plats filed during the early 1 890's when the city bid for state
capital designation began to fill. in with middle class housing. By 1908 the very
lopsided nature of city development occasioned some local concern as preference
for the south side for new construction resulted in stymied development on the
north side, where some streets remain unpaved even today.
The most intense period of residential construction in Bozeman occurred during
the early 20th century, and this fact is clearly reflected in the type and
quality of housing that comprises the city's major historic districts. Local

builders played an enormously important role in determining the character to the
city's historic neighborhoods. Elmer Bartholomew, A.J. Svokmoe, William Cline,
George Dier, A.J. Moe, J.A. Bartholomew, Guy Ensinger, Ora E. Long, and Lou F.
Sievert were all important builders who had a clear influence upon the appearance
of Bozeman's neighborhoods. One will find pairs and small groupings of houses
built by any one of these builders, each house exhibiting the builders'
recognizable signatures in the distinctive ornamentation treatments. The Cooper
Park Historic District is likely the best example of the speculative construction
of these important local builders.
Bozeman, like many Montana communities, supported one prolific architect through
most of the 20th century who was responsible for the majority of the designs for
both public and private buildings. Fred F. Willson, son of one of the town's
earliest pioneers, had a thriving practice in Bozeman from about 1910 until his
retirement during the early 1950's. During this period, Willson designed
hundreds of buildings, including almost all of the schools, the county
courthouse, a number of commercial buildings, and residences ranging from simple
Craftsman bungalows to high-style Chateauesque, Colonial Revival, and Mission
Revival designs. Willson's success as an architect may be attributed to his
ability to fulfill the needs and stylistic desires of his clients more than to as
the inherent aesthetic quality of his designs. Fred Willson's mainstream
architectural designs, found throughout the community, make an important
contribution to the overall character of the city.
The Bozeman Multiple Resource Area nomination includes 634 contributing
properties found within the eight historic districts and 32 independent resources
listed below.
Main Street Historic District
Period of Significance: 1870-1937
Areas of Significance: Architecture, Commerce, Exploration/Settlement
Contributing Structures: 49
Non-contributing Structures: 19
The site of virtually all significant construction in the city of Bozeman prior
to the arrival of the railroad in 1883, Main Street is still the focal point of
the city's commercial activity, and consequently reflects the continuous
development of Bozeman, from the erection of the first brick commercial
structures in 1 872 to the present. Three general periods of historical
development characterize the kind and quality of buildings found within the
boundaries of this district. The earliest, from the 1870's to the early 1 880's,
reflect Bozeman's role as a gateway to the mines of the Northwest and as the
regional center for trade and supply. The next generation of construction on
Main Street, dating from the mid-1880s to about 1910, illustrates Bozeman's
tremendous growth and diversification following the long-awaited arrival of the
railroad. Growth in the commercial district was matched by corresponding

expansion of the city's residential neighborhoods. The last period, from 1910 to
1937, reflects the city's increasingly important role in the economy of the
Gallatin Valley and the local manifestations of national trends such as the
construction of department stores, theatres, and storefronts remodeled in the Art
Deco style. The expanding role of the architect during this period is evident by
the numerous buildings designed or remodeled by local architect, Fred Willson.
Bozeman Brewery Historic District
Period of Significance: 1895-1925
Areas of Significance: Architecture, Industry
Contributing Structures: 5
Non-contributing Structures: 0
This small, highly cohesive historic district located at the northeastern corner
of the city is dominated by the Bozeman Brewery and the impressive, Queen Anne
style Lehrkind House, built by the founder of the brewery, Julius Lehrkind. Two
more modest residences built during the early 20th Century by Lehrkind family
members and the one-story brick bottling plant complete the district. Proximity
to the railroad was clearly a factor in the development of this tiny district,
which is located at some distance from the commercial core and other residential
historic districts.
Bon Ton Historic District
Period of Significance: 1880-1937
Areas of Significance: Architecture, Community Planning, Settlement
Contributing Structures: 190
Non-contributing Structures: 39
The choice location for residences from the 1880s through the mid-1930's, the Bon
Ton Historic District includes approximately 27 facing blocks of So. Willson, So.
Grand, and Third Avenues that form a distinct unit by virtue of the number of
substantial and more high-style residences than are found in concentration in any
other part of the city. A distinctly different architectural character to either
side of this district justifies its definition as a separate historic district.
Many of the leading names in Bozeman history built their homes within the Bon Ton
Historic District, and numerous of these individuals also constructed business
blocks within the Main Street Historic District. The popularity of this
neighborhood increased after the turn of the century and a pattern of middle to
upper-middle class residents moving at that time from houses north of Main Street
to new residences built in this area has been well documented. Grand and Willson
Avenues were deliberately laid out wider than other city streets, having been
specifically intended to develop as an upper class neighborhood. A portion of
this district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on December
18, 1978 as the South Willson Historic District.

So. Tracy - So. Black Historic District
Period of Significance: 1872-1937, 1939
Areas of Significance: Architecture, Settlement
Contributing Structures: 78
Non-contributing Structures: 15
This district contains well preserved, middle class residences from the 1870's
through the 1930's. So. Tracy Ave. is architecturally the stronger of the two
streets, although identically designed houses also appear on So. Black, as well.
Two exceptionally elaborate houses on Black St. , which would be expected to be
found in the Bon Ton Historic District, are the Craftsman style house at the
northeast corner of Story St. and the Shingle style Luce House, which has been
determined to be non-contributing due to alterations. This district includes the
only one of three identical Fred Willson-designed schools which has not undergone
major alteration to the entrances. Bozeman Avenue, which is virtually devoid of
architecturally significant buildings due to alterations, forms a clear boundary
to the east.
Cooper Park Historic District
Period of Significance: 1885-1937
Areas of Significance: Architecture, Settlement
Contributing Structures: 222
Non-contributing Structures: 42
Bozeman's early 20th Century expansion is evidenced by this district of modest,
middle class houses dating primarily from that period. The boundaries for this
district conform quite closely to the gap in development between Third Ave. and
the State Agricultural College as shown on an 1898 bird's eye view of the city.
Cooper Park was included on the plat for this area before any construction took
place in the district. The park is an example, on a very small scale, of
formalized, early 20th Century city planning. It may have been intended to be a
part of the 8th Ave. boulevard, which was laid out in 1891 to lead up to the
proposed State Capitol building, which Bozeman at that time coveted. Many of the
houses in this historic district were designed by the prominent local architect
Fred Willson and a number were built as speculative ventures by carpenters such
as Elmer Bartholomew, Guy Ensinger, William Cline, Ora Long, and Lou Sievert.
Lindley Place Historic District
Period of Significance: 1880-1922
Areas of Significance: Architecture, Settlement
Contributing Structures: 26
Non-contributing Structures: 8
The district consists of a dense, very cohesive grouping of late 19th and early
20th Century vernacular houses that line both sides of Lindley Place, an
isolated, two block-long street that has no cross streets. A small group of

bungalows on Olive Street at the head of Lindley Place serve to terminate the
district. A few of the oldest and best preserved houses in the city are located
within this district. Lindley Place is especially notable for its small scale,
its high density, and its high degree of overall architectural integrity.
North Tracy Avenue Historic District
Period of Significance: 1890-1930
Areas of Significance: Architecture,Settlement
Contributing Structures: 21
Non-contributing Structures: 8
The North Tracy Avenue Historic contains the most significant concentration of
historic residential architecture north of Main Street, and is a representative
portion of what was once a quite extensive historic residential area. The
district consists of 29 modest residences spanning two blocks, from Villard to
Peach Streets. The neighborhoods to the north of Main Street were established
long before expansive development occurred on the south side during the early
20th Century. However, no areas of the north side of Bozeman retain as much
historic architectural integrity as the small group of residences that compose
this district.
South Tracy Avenue Historic District
Period of Significance: 1916-1923
Areas of Significance: Architecture
Contributing Structures: 6
Non-contributing Structures: 1
This compact and cohesive group of seven small, one-story, gable front, Bungalow
style houses stretches for one block along the east side of S. Tracy Avenue. An
island of Bungalows from the time of its initial construction in 1917 and well
into the 19301s, the South Tracy Avenue Historic District remains a cohesive
architectural unit, and a particularly vivid example of Bozeman's rapid early
20th Century expansion. The seven similar, modest residences that make up the
district, each with a separate garage, represent the work of four local
carpenters.

Statement of Significance (in one paragraph)
The historic resources of Bozeman, Montana are significant due to their ability
to accurately portray the social and economic forces that shaped the historic
character and physical appearance of this stable and rather prosperous western
Montana community. The commercial patterns of development, resulting in the
evolution of a typical, western vernacular Main Street, are evidenced by the one-
and two-story masonry buildings dating from the early 1880's through to the late
1930's that line both sides of the street. Although some important examples of
late 19th century vernacular and high-style residential architecture exist today,
Bozeman's neighborhoods are primarily characterized by the extensive blocks of
early 20th century, carpenter-built housing. The degree to which the community's
commercial and residential historic districts retain their original ambience and
architectural character is unusual in Montana. The relative stability of the
Bozeman economy likely has supported this remarkable level of preservation.
The town of Bozeman was established as a strategicallysituated frontier outpost
located on the west side of Bozeman Pass, which was the mountain crossing for a
major transportation route to the gold mines of western Montana. As early as the
mid-1860's Bozeman existed as a trading center for a burgeoning agricultural
hinterland, which supplied basic commodities to the miners who crowded in at the
major strikes in Virginia City, Bannack, and Helena. The importance of regional
commerce to the early Bozeman merchants is clearly depicted by the active role
they played in bringing to the attention of the U.S. Government the threat they
thought posed by Indians to unfettered travel or railroad construction during the
mid-1870's.
With the Indian population thoroughly quelled by the late 1 870's and the
transcontinental Northern Pacific Railroad completed to Bozeman in 1883, the
young city of Bozeman was bursting with renewed optimism regarding its future.
Bozeman became an incorporated city, and a number of new additions to the
original townsite were immediately platted. As the hub of a growing and
prosperous agricultural region, Bozeman citizens and business people benefited
from expanded markets as well as convenient accessibility to imported goods and
industrial products available by rail. The accumulation of wealth in the
community is exhibited in the number of substantial residences and commercial
buildings in the Italianate, Queen Anne, and Second Empire styles built during
this period. Most of the residences dating to the 1880's were constructed on the
north side of town and exist today surrounded by more recent infill construction
or extensively remodelled historic structures.
During the early 1890's, Bozeman demonstrated its desire to gain the distinction
of being the capital of the new state of Montana. In reality, Bozeman had little
chance for the title when compared to the larger and wealthier cities of Helena
and Anaconda, which were in intense competition for the honor. Like many towns,
Bozeman's bid was a symbolic one, designed to secure for itself an important

state institution and some political clout when it threw its votes behind one of
the top contenders. Indeed, Bozeman did gain the Montana State College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. Although the city initially accepted the college
with disappointment, this institution would prove to be a vital contributor to
the stability of the local economy throughout the 20th Century.
In a state where the cycles of boom and bust of natural. resource exploitation
have caused considerable stress to sustained economic development, the city of
Bozeman stands out with an unusually secure and generally prosperous local
economy. The relatively slow pace of development that the town experienced
during the 1870's, 1880's, and 1890 's left Bozeman with an ambitious plat and a
stable agricultural market that would well accommodate the steady expansion of
both business enterprise and population during the first three decades of the
20th century. Bozeman came of age as a modern city during this period. Although
very little industrial investment occurred in Bozeman, diversification in both
the agricultural and service sectors during the 1910's brought markedly increased
prosperity to the city, supporting a much expanded middle class population.
Commodity prices held strong through the First World War, and the ranks of the
Gallatin Valley farmers were swelled by new homesteaders taking up virtually all
of the as yet unclaimed agricultural land. In town, large tracts of carpenter-
built housing constructed between 1900 and 1937 survive today as intact
neighborhoods that are presented in this nomination as the Cooper Park, Bon Ton,
South Tracy-South Black, South Tracy, North Tracy, and Lindley Place historic
districts.
The city of Bozeman fared considerably better than most Montana communities
through the years of the Great Depression due to the presence of the State
College and to the tremendous agricultural productivity of the Gallatin Valley,
where farmers were not subjected to as high a rate of foreclosure as was
experienced by settlers in other parts of the state. Although the city continued
to grow during the Depression years, it did so at a very moderate pace.
Detailed descriptions of each of the eight historic districts and 32 independent
resources included within the Bozeman multiple resource area follow.
