The Bon Ton District totals about 27 blocks, with examples of Italianate, Queen Anne, Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Bungalow architecture including buildings with Eastlake features and some examples of vernacular architecture, such as pattern-book homes from the turn of the century.

…. “As a young man, Story started with nothing but his energy, strong will, intelligence and fearlessness. He came out to the wild West and in 1863 made a fortune in Montana’s gold rush.
.... He parlayed that into a famous cattle drive from Texas to Montana, which a century later would inspire author Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel “Lonesome Dove” + Very Successful Television Miniseries!
....Nelson Story settled in the fledgling outpost of Bozeman when its namesake, John Bozeman, was still roving the town…”.. [Skip 11 Paragraphs Re Nelson Story exploits & successes, and read the following => ]
.... “Even [Nelson Story’s] … grandson, the late Malcolm Story , knew little first-hand. Malcolm said in a taped lecture that he was just a kid when Nelson was in his 70s or 80s. Most of what Malcolm learned came from his father, Thomas Byron Story.
....Yet Malcolm’s vivid stories, collected on CDs in MSU’s special collections, are consistent as he told and retold them.
....Phyllis Smith, author of “Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley: A History,” spent many hours listening to her neighbor Malcolm’s tales as he sat at her dining room table, across the street from the pink house where he [Malcom Story] lived on South Willson Avenue. Later she would check out his facts......“Everything he said was true,” Smith said.
