McCulloh and his wife Ella constructed this elegant two-story brick home in 1911, raising their two children here. Its two-and-one-half stories, simple box shape, low-hipped roof, large central dormer, wide overhanging eaves, and offset front porch mark it as a Prairie style foursquare. Light colored bricks decorate the eavelines; dark bricks mark the corners, mimicking stone quoins, which are stylistically associated with the Italian Renaissance. The most popular house type in the 1910s, foursquares had a reputation for economy and efficiency—their straightforward layout maximized a family’s living space. The style’s practicality and commitment to comfort may have appealed to Carroll, who spent his career improving Montanans’ living conditions. In the 1900s and 1910s, he worked as a civil engineer, helping to modernize infrastructure, especially sewer and water systems, in towns across Montana. In the 1920s and 1930s, he became a businessman, serving as secretary of an ice company and manager of the People’s Finance and Thrift. Carroll died in 1937; Ella continued to live here through 1940. <br />","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/8327df66-87d9-43fb-91bf-259b58154a5c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Great Falls Northside Residential Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/cd2acfb0e07fca4c6457dcc194fd8c11.jpg":{"id":2917,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"McCulloh Residence","description":"McCulloh Residence (PAc 91-51 Great Falls R14 F31).
