1111 North 32 Street

Built circa 1916, this one-and-one-half-story Craftsman bungalow retains much of its early appearance, with knee braces beneath wide overhanging eaves, a low-pitched shed dormer, wooden lap siding, and a front porch enclosed by removable glass storm windows. In 1917, insurance company manager Daniel Hynds, his wife Kathleen, and their thirty-year-old son Harry, a traveling salesman, lived there as card parties and club luncheons filled their social calendars. Billings banker Fred Marble and his wife Lillian bought the bungalow in the late 1920s, and like other North Elevation residents, they appeared often in newspaper social pages. In 1936, Walter Foster, superintendent of a meat packing company, purchased the home, and his wife Louie May continued its active social life by hosting bridge parties, the Congregational Woman’s Society, and other gatherings.
