Crouse Homestead, 9720 Walker Road, Belgrade, Gallatin County, MT

2014 Charles E. Peterson Prize
Significance: The Crouse Homestead is significant not only for its connection to a pioneering family of Montana's agricultural industry, but also as an example of a transitional period in the architectural structure of large buildings.

Homesteader, Henry Crous(e), arrived in the Montana Territory in 1864, only two years after the first gold strike. After unsuccessful attempts at gold mining, he became a leader in the emerging agricultural community of Springhill, 12 miles north of Bozeman, Montana.
