Gary Cooper’s House in Bozeman Today [Pic]

This morning on the XL Morning Show we found ourselves on the topic of Gary Cooper. Longtime Bozeman residents know that before Gary Cooper starred in the movies, he actually attended and graduated from Gallatin County High School in Bozeman back in 1922. One of our listeners this morning called in to say her father actually went to high school with Gary.

Why did he move to Bozeman from Helena? Turns out he was expelled from school in Helena, so his parents sent him to Bozeman to finish school.

Click here to read an old Bozeman Daily Chronicle article on Gary's time in Bozeman. There's even a picture of Gary from his high school days.

We wondered on the show if the house was still here. Bill Sanchez, one of our loyal listeners, was nice enough to go to the old address to see. Apparently, the old house is still there. Here's the picture of the house Bill took for us this morning.
