New Signage in Bozeman’s Historic Districts

Wednesday Dec. 14th, 2011

The Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board is pleased to announce the installation of signs identifying each of Bozeman’s National Register of Historic Places Historic Districts.

Measuring 16 inches wide by 16 inches in height, the brown signs include the name of each district in white lettering, as well as a visual representation of the architecture found in the neighborhood. Installed at the “entrances” of each district, the signs are intended to help community members identify the various historic districts and their locations.

The signs were funded through a one-time grant from the Montana State Historic Preservation Office. Keri Thorpe, a planner with the City of Bozeman’s Department of Planning and Community Development lent her design skills to creating images reflecting the commercial, industrial and residential nature of Bozeman’s eclectic historic districts. The City of Bozeman’s Streets Department was able to install historic district signs on existing street sign posts.
