E. Kirkemo to design this two-story residence in 1935. Best known for his commercial buildings, Kirkemo also created plans for many University District homes. For the Hardenburgh family, he envisioned a modern version of a Tudor style Cotswold cottage. Less elaborate than Tudor style homes built a decade earlier, the residence still features many elements of the style: an irregular roofline, multi-paned windows, small dormers, and upper rooms with sloping walls. The Tudor style’s characteristic asymmetry allowed for two primary facades, maximizing the benefits of the corner lot. An elaborate, two-bay garage features distinctive Tudor style half-timbering to complement the primary residence. The home’s interior reflected a more modern sensibility than its exterior. Instead of traditional Tudor style elements, it boasts Art Deco and Craftsman style details. It also features a divided basement with one of the earliest recreation, or rec, rooms in Missoula. Kirkemo was known for client-pleasing designs, and the Hardenburghs’ long residency suggests this was no exception. Floyd lived here until his death 1966; Kathleen stayed on until 1976.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/6c366039-f63c-4dfe-a00b-6e52513d1ad4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the University Area Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/27234b9f-e046-4d17-9a5f-697320e10a9d/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the University Area Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/4c20d1435362b7a1ec2a904283ccfa49.jpg":{"id":1468,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Hardenburgh Residence","description":"Hardenburgh Residence.
