832 Fourth Avenue
(1913): Roper Home. Clyde and
Eglantine Roper were very active in the Havre business area. He worked
at the freight depot for the Great Northern, owned and operated Roper
Transfer Company, and filed a homestead ten miles north of Havre. She
was an insurance agent, land attorney and owned the Northern Auto
Garage; Clyde served as manager. According to official court documents,
they were reportedly active in bootlegging during Prohibition. They
turned to real estate speculation later in the 1920's and she became an
agent for the U.S. Building and Loan Association, owned rental
properties and both sold oil leases in Montana and real estate in
California. Life must have been very busy in this Bungalow style home,
built for around $3000.
