Louise Sels soon sold the house to her son-in-law Arthur Burnes, but according to the 1900 census, she continued to live in the home with her extended family. The household included her three grown children, granddaughter, son-in-law, and his mother. Josephine Richards and Ella Bell owned the house between 1902 and 1905, renting out &quot;nice large front rooms&quot; to gentlemen. The distinctive horseshoe-shaped porch was added between 1903 and 1907. The home&#039;s longest occupant, Maude Drew, lived here between 1905 until her death in 1959 at age 89. A year after she and her husband George bought the house in 1905 they installed a brick sidewalk. The local newspaper lauded this improvement over the standard wood sidewalks and predicted, &quot;Other property owners will note the manner in which the walk wears with much interest.&quot;","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/327a1cd2-8c29-4b4d-aef9-85fda060a8a9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the East Side Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/bf86f980-7198-4b0a-90c5-671ee0bbda46/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the East Side Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/1be6b6abcda65a4fec90334f01bf7eea.jpg":{"id":4577,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"George Drew Residence","description":"George Drew Residence.
