Is This What Chris Called “The House With the Funny Roof”?
“ Do you remember this street?" I ask Chris. .. He looks around and says, "We used to ride in the car to look for you." He points across the street. "I remember that house with the funny roof -- .Whoever saw you first would get a nickel. And then we’d stop and let you in the back of the car and you wouldn’t even talk to us." .. "I was thinking hard then." .. "That’s what Mom said." .. He was thinking hard then. “
Wilson Street, about 5 blocks towards downtown from MTSU Bozeman, MT. In Bozeman, as I traveled many of these neat tree lined streets between Main Street and the University, I looked for “"that house with the funny roof, “ but I never saw any worthy candidates. Most local people I asked seemed to be unaware of any house or roof that might appear peculiar to a child; however, Diana, a student staff member of the MTSU Bookstore, says that a house with a funny roof, called the "Pink House" was to be found on West side of Wilson Street, approx 5 blocks North from MSU. Once owned by the Story Family, it is a pink and dark maroon fashioned after the imagined colors that the Victorians would use! From campus this house is 1/2 to Main Street on a corner and on the left side (West side). I finally searched Google for [The Pink House], and there it was listed as a "Bear and Breakfast", with many photos!! Wow!! BUT ….. I should have copied all those shots, because this site is no longer there. My Summer 2006 trip produced the photo you see above, plus two more photos of the Story House. next photo for more info on Pink House.
