The Holy Rosary Church Rectory at 220 W. Main in Bozeman, Montana is a brick building that was designed by Fred F. Willson and built in 1912.{{cite web|author=James R. McDonald, Matthew Cohen, and Patricia Bick|date=1987|title=Montana Historical/Architectural Inventory: Holy Rosary Church Rectory|url={{NRHP url|id=87001801}}|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=December 25, 2016}} with {{NRHP url|id=87001801|photos=y|title=photo from 1987}} It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The two-story brick building features Gothic arched windows and a detailed brick design along the roofline, visually linking the rectory to the church. The crenellated (notched) door surround evokes the image of a medieval castle, reinforcing the connection to the Gothic style.{{Cite web|title=Holy Rosary Church Rectory|url=https://historicmt.org/items/show/589|access-date=2021-04-13|website=Historic Montana|language=en}}

History

One of the early works of Fred F. Willson, the rectory is derived from 19th century architectural forms. Although individually eligible for the National Register on architecture significance, this Neo-Gothic Revival style rectory is also indicative of the growing early 20th century wealth of the Catholic Church in Bozeman. The building is a significant landmark on Main Street, especially when seen next to the Holy Rosary Church, a large Gothic Revival style church, which is non-contributing due to alteration.{{Cite book|last=Department of the Interior.
