Number the buildings and featuresto correlate with the Site Map. This hospital complex is a detached three-and-one-half/four-story building constructed on an irregular plan with four largeRoman Doric columns supporting the raised two-story porch with a heavy ornamental cornice and a flat roof. The Doriccolumns are made of white glazed tiles (of terra-cotta or metal) pieced together to form each column, base, and capital.The three-bay asymmetrical façade is of brick and faces south to W. Lamme St. The original plans for the building was forthe central entry bay, with extension to north, on the east and flanked on the west by another bay. It is presumed that theoriginal design and plan was to supplement an additional symmetrical bay to the east as expansion was needed.Exposures of the east elevation of the central bay show in-fill bricks with no decorative detail, indicating position for futureaddition. The addition of the future bay would eventually make a symmetrical façade, but this wing was never undertaken.The third bay at the far west of the lot was a later addition, and a modern addition was added to the east end of the lot inthe 1960s, with a completely different design. The windows on all stories of of the original (central) and early addition(west) 3-over-1 and 6-over-one double-hung wood sash windows. Windows on the newer addition to the east are modernsliding and fixed windows. The bearing wall construction of the older portion of the building to the west is finished inrunning bond brick and rests on a raised concrete foundation that exhibits a terra cotta belly band at the level of the firstfloor. The flat built-up roof of the original portion of the building has a heavy, ornamental cornice on the older portion of thebuilding and a concrete band around the roofline of the additions. The axis of the roof is parallel to W. Lamme St. the rear(north) elevation has a broken face of projections and entries. The exterior wall of the second-floor operating room has afull-height glass-block window for light. The new addition to the east is an asymmetrical one-bay mass of two-stories, flatroof, with brick in-fill between vertical concrete buttresses. The far southeast corner of the building is removed to form anentry way and outdoor seating/approach. Basement level of original building has exposed upper portion of wall and"daylight" windows. Main entry single door is set in substantial stone border capped with segmented arch, dental molding,and central crest. Substantial stone cornice with dental molding is topped with band of brick work with alternating circleand diamond motif patterns of stone. The west wing has simpler, less classical cornice and decorative treatments. (cont.) Concrete. Foundation Flat built-up materials.

Lamme St. and N. Tracy Ave. Thecentral north portion of the lot has two small storage buildings. The 1912 Sanborn Map, Sheet 8, shows the same buildingas depicted on the 1904 map. The 1927 Sanborn Map, Sheet 8, shows the original wood-frame sanitarium building at theeast and the 3-story brick hospital "L" plan at the center. A two-and-one-half story wood-frame Queen Anne Style hospital was built at the east end of the existing lot. This buildingwas the first centralized healthcare in Gallatin Valley created as the Bozeman Sanitarium of Dr. Foster. In 1902, Dr. J.F.Blair purchased the building and created Blair Sanitarium. In 1911, Bozeman Deaconess purchased the sanitarium fromDr. Blair and renamed the facility Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, managed by the Methodist deaconesses. By 1920,growth in Bozeman's population (15,864 in 1920) necessitated the expansion of the hospital. Local architect, Fred Willsonwas retained to develop a design for a 50-bed hospital and then state-of-the-art surgery and care facility. The originalsanatarium building at the east end of the the lot was retained as quarters for nurses and staff. The last of the MethodistDeaconesses retired in 1944, and management transferred to the hospital organization. In 1944, the 3-story west-wing ofthe building was added to serve as a nurses' dormitory but was converted to patient services in 1944 -- increasing thecapacity to 104 beds. In 1955, a full-time radiologist was hired and a modern x-ray department opened at the hospital. In1956, the hospital administrators understood the future potential growth in Bozeman and purchased 500 acres at the eastend of Bozeman. In 1957, the hospital on West Lamme St. created a modern equipped physical therapy department andtwo years later created a modern medical laboratory. In 1969, an intensive care unit was built at the east end of the brickhospital, in the location of the original wood-frame sanitarium. By 1971, new construction at the east end of the lot wascompleted. By 1980, the population of Bozeman had grown to 42,865 and the health-care facility at W. Lamme and Tracyhad outgrown its space. In 1986 a new 86-bed hospital was built at the new location east of Bozeman near Sunset HillsCemetery. The newer additions of the original hospital at W. Lamme St. were then converted to a senior nursing carefacility. The original portions of the central and west wing buildings were converted to public housing.
