This house was built for Joshua P. McCuistion, a prominent Rosebud County rancher and businessman. McCuistion was involved in a number of Forsyth businesses and real estate activities.

Work began in April, 1914, when McCuistion built a garage (since razed) on the lot, and the Forsyth Times-Journal announced that a contract "For a fine residence" would soon be let. The newspaper's May 25th issue noted that L.P. Wahl had begun work on the home, which "will have all the modern conveniences and will be one of the most costly in the city."

The home was later occupied by Whit and Elsie Carolan; Whit was a local lawyer and County Attorney, and Elsie was a well-known music teacher.

In 1980 David Lloyd and his wife purchased the home and lived there during the time he was superintendent at the Forsyth Schools. While living in Forsyth he was doing some writing in his leisure time. The story grew on him and he got his first book done in time for the Montana Centennial in 1989.

Information


"Forsyth is the seat of Rosebud County, the third largest county in Montana, where there is plenty of elbow room to enjoy the best of small town living, along with the kind of recreation that only the wide open spaces of southeastern Montana can offer.
Forsyth was born in 1882 when the Northern Pacific Railroad came through, and is named after the first Army officer to land here. Forsyth is home to over 2000 friendly people. The historic city is tucked away behind hundreds of beautiful trees in the heart of the fertile Yellowstone Valley."
