This two-and-one-half-story residence features elegant Colonial Revival and classical elements, including round columns supporting an open front porch, hipped roof dormers, boxed eaves, an ornately bracketed cornice, and dentils beneath the cornice line. By 1902, developers had platted the 600 block of South Fifth, and eight years later William and Clara Berry and H. G. and Lottie Ford bought lot seven and built the house as an investment. In 1910, furniture salesman David Haviland rented the home for his wife Leta, their two daughters, and Leta's brother, a drapery salesman. By 1920, grocer Thomas Farley and his wife Edna occupied the residence and purchased it in 1922. In 1926, the Farleys sold the house to Oscar and Effie Wold. Born in Norway, Oscar immigrated to the United States as a young boy, began his Forest Service career in 1908, and served for many years as a fiscal agent in Missoula. He and Effie lived here with their daughter, and at times other family members, until after World War II.
