The J.A. Bookman General Store, on Main Street in Ingomar, Montana, was built in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
It was one of only two surviving brick buildings in Ingomar. It has two single-bay commercial storefronts, topped by a parapet wall.[2]
It was deemed
historically significant for its association with early twentieth-century patterns of trade and commerce in Ingomar and Rosebud County. As with most small towns in eastern Montana, Ingomar existed primarily as a retail trade center for farm and ranch settlers in the immediate vicinity. The town's small business district was a focal of retail (and, consequently, social) activity for both the community and the surrounding countryside. The Bookman Store was, in turn, a primary element in Ingomar's business life. For nearly thirty years, J.A. Bookman General Store was the largest mercantile in Ingomar, and a centerpiece of the town's commercial district. The store's importance and prosperity is attested to by the building's relatively large size, substantial construction, and prominent location.[2]
