settler, Ira McAllister established the company in 1878 and operated a hardware and building supply store
at 1550 Pearl Street. The business supplied materials for many of the houses constructed in the city during

The small frame building located at the south edge of the property was constructed between 1932 and
1958 though it may have been a portion of the longer wood sheds that were located along the ditch until the

the historic preservation program. Staff suggests that the applicant consider preserving the building and
Amendment of Approved Site Review st 1725 28TH ST: Redevelopment of the existing Golden Buff Hotel and
Eads Newstand on the site. The development proposal includes the demolition of existing structures and
construction of two hotels, an East Hotel fronting on 28th street (select service hotel compromised of 171
guest rooms) and a West Hotel fronting on 26th street (full service hotel compromised of 204 guest rooms)
both to be located at 1725 28th street. The development also includes the construction of a 42,890 s.f. mixed
use commercial building (Canyon 28) comprised of office and retail uses to be located at 1715 28th street.
Project will also have 2 stories of underground parking with approx. 469 parking spaces.
A portion of the existing Golden Buff buildings (formerly the Wayside Lodge) were constructed in 1960
and are older than 50 years in age. In addition, our GIS indicates that the Eads building was originally built
Given that project plans indicate these buildings are to be removed to make way for new construction a
demolition application must be submitted for each building (per 9-11-23 of the Boulder Revised Code) to
assess whether the buildings have historic or architectural significance. The application fee for the review of
non-designated buildings older than 50 years but constructed after 1940 is $51.
