Meet Douglas
Outgoing, Conscientious, Responsible
I've lived throughout the U.S. and in six countries across the world, conducting business in more than 20 as an executive and Foreign Service Officer. I very much enjoy meeting new people.
On a typical day...
I have a very open house. My house is your house.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

One of a kind Tudor style home surrounded by mature pines, providing a private oasis just a few minutes from the hospital corridor/campuses & downtown and private driveway off Upper Highwood Dr.
Custom-designed and built in 1936, by Hermine M. Roberts, founding faculty member at Eastern (MSUB). The available unit is the main deck master, which stays nice and warm in the winter and cool in the summer; and we're hopeful the house can serve as a "home away from home" for those seeking to hang their hat in Billings for a while.

My stay at 801 has been restful. I came here on a travel contract and it was a great place to land. The home is beautiful, clean, quiet, and peaceful. Douglas is a great host. He is very accommodating, kind, and thoughtful. He is great at communicating anything going on in the house and is always on top of any needs that I had. Grateful for my time here!
