The Lindley Concrete Block Factory
[Concrete] Building Blocks for Bozeman

by Courtney Kramer Monday Jun. 1st, 2015

Deed research hints at the possibility that Svorkmoe partnered with E. Broox Martin to construct the Clark Apartments, at 616 South Grand Avenue, of concrete block in 1914. Svorkmoe constructed a number of Queen Anne and Craftsman style homes as speculative investments along South Grand Avenue between 1890 and 1910; he purchased the site of the Clark Apartments in 1898.

Martin, whose business partnerships with Nelson Story involved him in banking and real estate development, capitalized on Bozeman’s growth during this time period by constructing residential housing for the working class, including the Evergreen Apartments at South Third and West Koch. The trolley line on South Grand Avenue provided public transportation to the pea canneries developed on the north east side of town in the 1910’s.
