Public hearing and consideration of a demolition permit application
for the demolition of a non-landmarked building over fifty years old
constructed in 1912 and located at 16I5 7~h Street, pursuant to
Section 10-13-23 of the Boulder Revised Code (HIS2005-00229).
1615 7~ Street
MXR-E (Mixed Density Residential)
Peter Olivo
^ This building is neither in a historic district nor locally landmarked, but is
over fifty years old. Proposed Changes to the building (removing the roo~
meet the definition of demolition and therefore is subject to review under
Section 10-13-23 of the Boulder Revised Code.
Based upon analysis of the building's architecture and level of historic
integrity, it is staff's opinion that it has historic significance and may be
eligible for designation consistent with the purposes and standards in
section 10-13-1 "Legislative Intent" and 10-13-3 "City Council May
Designate Landmarks and Historic Districts," B.R.C.1981.
Staff recommends that a stay of the issuance of a demolition permit for a
period not to exceed 180 days be imposed for the property in order to
consider alternatives to the demolition of the building.
BACKGROUND:
A demolition permit application for the house at 1615 7th Street was received on
November 2nd, 2005. The Landmarks Design Review Committee reviewed the
application on November 2nd, and determined that there was "probable cause" that the
building at 1615 7~'' Street may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
The wood frame one and a half story craftsman bungalow at 1615 7~ Street was
built in 1919 by Lewis and Katie Thomas. The rectangular plan house has a side gabled
roof with a low sloping shed dormer, bracketed eaves, and full front porch. The exterior
walls are covered in stucco and wood shingles. The windows are primarily original4/1
and 5/1 double hung windows, and the front door appears to be the original wood door
with four upper lights.
The original house measured 38 feet wide by 33 feet deep, with an additional8'
deep porch. There appear to have been two additions to the house, the first being a 12
foot by 21 foot rectangular one story garage which is conriected to the northwest corner
of the original house. The garage is noted on the 1929 tax assessor but it is unknown if it
was constructed with the original house. A 1996 it was converted to living area. The
second addition was a 6 foot by 36 foot addition to the rear of the house, which was
constructed in 1996.

NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORY
Smith's Addition to West Boulder was platted June 8~', 1874 by Marinus G. Smith,
a significant pioneer in Boulder's history. Smith owned a large amount of land
extending up the hill to the south of the original town plat. He is one of the three
residents who donated land for the establishment of the University of Colorado. Smith's
Addition to West Boulder spanned from University at the south to Arapahoe at the
north, and 9~' Street on the east, with the western boundary 100 feet east of 6~' Street.
Although this addition was small, it linked the Highland Lawn Addition to Smith's
Addition to Boulder, unifying this section
of town.
PROPERTY HISTORY
Marinus Smith sold the lot on which
this house sits to Andrew Palmquist in
1891.1 At that time the lot stretched along
7~' Street from Marine Street north to the
alley. Palmquist constructed the house at
655 Marine in 1892.2 He owned the house
and lot unti11897 when it was sold to
Rachel Bostwick, who then sold to Aaron
and Hettie Kinsey in 1899. The Kinsey's
sold the house to Katie and Lewis Thomas

Re: Demolition Permit 161 S 7`h Street
in Apri11903.3 They lived in the house at 655 Marine Street until deciding to construct
their new house. On April3~d, 1919, Mrs. Thomas received permit #361 to construct a
wood and stucco bungalow at 1615 7~h Street at a cost of $2,000.4 Katie died in 1947, and
Lewis continued to live in the house until he died on August 28, 1952. It is unknown
when the lot line separating 655 Marine from 1615 7th Street occurred. Because of the
size of the lot, additional structures were constructed over the years. The house to the
north, 1625 7t'' street, is dated as c. 1890's on the architectural inventory form, and
appears in what is estimated to be a 1929 photograph.
The property was inherited by Ralph Ardourel (the Thomas's nephew) in 1952, and he
lived in the house until 1985. The property changed hands 5 additional times until 1999
when it was purchased by the current owner, Peter Olivo. Analysis of aerial
photography from the 1960's shows the lot with a driveway coming off the alley to the
garage (now a studio space). An additional garage on the alley, as well as a small shed
for 1625 7~ Street is visible. The driveway no longer exists, and the rear of 1615 7~ Street
is now yard space, creating almost a compound like feel with the four structures on the
lot. The house at 1625 7~h Street was gutted by fire in May 2005.
CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD'S DECISION:
The Historic Preservation ordinance specifies that the Landmarks Board shall consider
and base its decision whether or not to impose a stay of demolition upon any of the
following criteria [10-13-23(g)J:
(1) The eligibilify of fhe buifding for designation as an individual landmark consistent with
the purposes and standards in Sections 10-13-1 and 10-13-3, B.R.C. 1981;
(2) The relationship of the building to the character of the neighborhood as an established and
definable area;
(3) The reasonable condition of the building; and
(4) The reasona6le projected cost of restoration or repair.
In considering the condition of the building and the projected cost of restoration or repair
as set forth in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, the board may not consider deterioration
caused by unreasonable neglect. ~
No claim has been made by the applicant that the condition of the building or the cost of
restoration or repair (criteria 3 and 4) are factors in the request for demolition. As such,
staff concentrated on criteria 1 and 2, the building's eligibility for landmark designation
and its relationship to the character of the neighborhood, in the analysis below.

Re: Demolition Permit 1615'7°i Street
CRITERION 1: ANALYSIS OF LANDMARK ELIGIBILITY
10-13-23(g)(1): Eligibility of the Building as an Individual Landmark.
Staff considers the house at 1615 7~ Street to have sufficient significance for designation
as an individual landmark under Criterion A Hisforical Significance, and Criterion B
Architectural Significance, adopted by administrative policy in 1975 (see Attachment El. The
building is an extremely well preserved example oF the Craftsman Bungalow style, as well as
being constructed and occupied by residents of local significance.
A. Historic Significance:
1. Date of Construction: 1919 (Building Permit Ledger, Assessor Card)
Constructed in 1919 by Lewis and Katie Thomas, the building is an excellent
example of the Craftsman Bungalow Style popular in Boulder through the first
part of the 20~` century.
2. Association with Historic Persons or Events: Lewis G. Thomas, Katie (Cobb)
T'homas, Ralph J. Ardourel
Lewis G. Thomas was a significant Boulder County resident, having first worked
as a Miner, later a teamster running the first successful freighting operation with
his brothers-in-law Charles F. and Elmer Cobb. Lewis served for four years as a
Boulder County Commissioner, elected in 1926. Katie was also very involved in
the community, and her garden at 1615 7w Street was revered in the community.
Ralph J. Ardourel was also a significant Boulder resident, who was a plumber,
then ran a very successful excavating business, including the construction of the
Boulder-Denver Turnpike. (See Attachment D for detailed information on the
residents)
3. Distinction in the develo~ment of the cornmunity of Boulder: Not Applicable
4. Recognition by Authorities: A 1989 survey of the building by Front Range
Research Associates (Attachment B) states that the house was in excellent
condition and representative of the Bungalow Style popular in Boulder in the
1920's.
B. Architectural Significance:
1. Recognized Period or Style: Craftsman Bungalow
The house at 1615 7w Street is an excellent example of the Craftsman Bungalow
style. Pearce's Guide to Colorado architecture states that "the most common
expression of Craftsman style architecture, the residential Bungalow spread

quickly across the country during the early 20th century. In Colorado, this type of
architecture was popular from 1900 to around 1930". The character defining
feaiures of this house include the front porch, tapered columns, low sloping side
gabled roof with front dormer, stucco and shingle exterior, and multi-light over
one wood frame windows.
2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: None known.
3. Artistic Merit: Excellent example of the Craftsman Style.
4. Exam~le of the Uncommon: Not Applicable.
5. Indigenous Oualities: Not Applicable.
C. Environmental Significance:
1. Site Characteristics: Not Applicable
2. Compatibility with Site: The one and a half story bungalow is compatible with
the surrounding neighborhood in terms of massing and scale.
3. Geograuhic Im~ortance: Not Applicable
4. Environmental Ap_pro~riateness: Not Applicable
5. Area InteQritv: Not Applicable
CRITERION 2: RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD:
This property and the surrounding neighborhood has been identified as a
potential historic district (expanded Highland Lawn Historic District) in the Boulder
Valley Comprehensive Plan, and would be considered contributing. Criterion 2 is
therefore relevant as the house is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in
terms of massing, sale and architectural style.
DECISION OF THE BOARD:
If the Landmarks Board finds that the building to be demolished does not have
historic significance under the criteria set forth in section 10-13-23(g) B.R.C., and the
Individual Landmark Significance Criteria (1975) the city manager shall issue a
demolition permit.

Memo to the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Boazd
Re: Demolition Permit 1615 '7'~' Street
If the Landmarks Board finds that the building to be demolished may have
historic significance under the criteria set forth above, the application shall be suspended
for a period not to exceed 180 days from the November 2, 2005 date the permit
application was accepted by the city manager as complete [Section 10-13-23(h)]. A 180-
day stay period would expire on May 1, 2006.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT: None received
PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board issue a stay of demolition up to 180
days finding that the proposed demolition has historical significance when weighted
against the criteria set forth in Section 10-13-23(g) B.R.C and the Individual Landmark
Significance Criteria (1975) T'he purpose of the stay of demolition is to consider
alternatives to the demolition of the building, such as an appropriate addition to the
house in a way that respects that character is possible and encouraged. Furthermore, the
applicant is recommended to meet with staff to discuss the possibility of constructing a
compatible addition. Following that review, the Board may elect to lift the stay of
demolition or to initiate the designation process. Designation would open up numerous
incentive options, including the possibility of state and local tax credits for rehabilitation.
Should the Board choose to issue the demolition permit at this time, or if the
permit is allowed to expire, staff recommends that demolition be conditioned upon
submittal of the following to the Planning Department for recording with the Carnegie
Branch Library for Local History:
1. A site plan showing the location of all existing unprovements on the subject
property; "
2. Measured elevation drawings of the building depicting existing condirions, fully
annotated with architectural details and materials indicated on the plazis;
3. Medium formaY black and white photographs of all exterior elevations.
FINDINGS:
Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following findings including the
Staff Memorandum and Attachments:
1. A stay of demolition for the house at 1615 7"' Street is appropriate based on the criteria
set forth in section 10-13-23(~ B.R.C, in that the building:
1. May be eligible for individual landmark designation based upon its historical,
architectural and environmental significance;

SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
Individual Landmark
September 1975
On September 6, 1974, the City Council adopted Ordinance #4000 providing procedures

deems necessary for its own organization and procedures. The following Significance Criteria
have been adopted by the Board to help evaluate each potential designation in a consistent and
equitable manner.

development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the community, state or nation; be the site of
a historic, or prehistoric event that had an effect upon sociery; or exemplify te cultural, polirical,
economic, or social heritage of the wmmunity.
1. Date of Construction: This area of considerarion places particulaz importance on
the age of the struchue.
2. Association with Historical Persons or Events: This association could be nadonal,
state, or local.
Distinction in the Develonment of the Communitv of Boulder: This is most
applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structwe,
though is some cases residences might qualify. It stresses the importance of
preserving those places which demonstrate the growth during different time spans
in the history of Boulder, in order to maintain an awareness of our cultural,
economic, social or political heritage.
4. Reco ~~n'tion bv Authorities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, Inc. the
Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Bazker, Crossen, Frink, Gladden,
Paddock, Schooland, etc), State Historical Society, The Improvement of Boulder,,
Colorado by F.L. Olmsted, or others in published form as having historical
interest and value.
5. Other, if applicable.

specimen, a good example of the common; be the work of an architect or master builder, known
nationally, state-wide, or locally, and perhaps whose work has influenced later development;
contain elements of azchitectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship which represent a
significant innovation; or be a fine example of the uncommon.
1. Recoenized Period/Stvle: It should exemplify specific elements of an architectural
period/style, ie: Victorian, Revival styles, such as described by Historic American
Building Survey Criteria, Gineerbread Aee (Maass), 76 Boulder Homes (Barkaz),
The Historv of Architectural Stvle (Marcus/Wiffin), Architecture in San Francisco
(Gebhard et al), History of Architecture (Flectcher), Architechue/Colorado, and
any other published source of universal or local analysis of "style."
2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: A good example of ihe work of an architect
or builder who is recognized for expertise in his field nationally, state-wide, or
locally.
3. Artistic Merit: A skillful integration of design, material, and color which is of

4. Example of the Uncommon: Elements of architectural design, details, or
craftsmanship that are representadve of a significant innovation.
5. Indigenous Oualities: A style or material that is particulazly associated with the
Boulder area.
6. Other, if applicable.
Environmental Sip.nificance
The place should enhance the variety, interest, and sense of identity of the community by
the protection of the unique natural and man-made environment.
1. Site Characteristies: It should be of high quality in terms of planned or natural
vegetation.
2. Com,patibility with Site; Consideration will be given to scale, massing placement,
or other qualities of design with respect to its site.
Geographic Importance: Due to its unique locarion or singular physical
characteristics, it represents an established and familiaz visual feature of the
04.OSsignif-indiv
Page 2 of 3
community.
4. Environmental Appropriateness: The surroundings aze complementary an8/or it is
situated in a manner particulazly suited to its funcrion.

BIOGRAPHY OF RESIDENTS AT 1615 7T~ STREET
This area was platted in 1874 by Mazinus G. Smith, one of Boulder's pioneers. Smith
was one of three Boulder residents who donated land to stazt the University of
Colorado. Smith sold the lot in 1891 to Andrew Palmquist, .who built a brick house on
the south end of the lot facing Marine Street. (still extant at 655 Marine) Sometime in
the 1890's the house at the north end of the lot was also constructed (still extant at
1625 7~ Street) He lived in the house at 655 Mazine until 1897 when it was sold to
Rachel Bostwick, who in turn sold to Aaron and Hettie Kinsey in 1899. The Kinsey's
sold the houses and lot in 1903 to Lewis and Katie Thomas. They moved into the
house at 655 Marine Street on the south end of the lot. In 1919 they constructed a
bungalow at 1615 7~ Street (subject house), situated between the two other houses on
the lot, (655 Marine and 1625 7~j.
Lewis G. Thomas was born in Audubon County, Iowa on August 28~, 1870. In 1881
he moved to Longmont, Colorado with his parents, then to Lyons, and finally to
Jimtown in 1883. In 1890 he began hauling ore for the Utica Mine Company in Ward.
Lewis began competing in hard rock drilling contests, and at one time was considered
the champion single hand driller in the world. He married Katie D. Cobb in Boulder
on October 6~, 1895 at the home of Mr. W.F. Rowen, 1918 Pine Street. At the time of
their marriage, the newspaper reported that she was "a popular belle of the
mountains." Katie was born November 16, 1885 in Indiana. As a youth she moved to
the vicinity of Springfield, MO, and came to Boulder in 1890 at the urging of her
brother and significant Boulder merchant Charles F. Cobb.
In 1902 Lewis and Katie moved to Boulder from Ward, and Lewis bought his first 4-
horse freight team, and began hauling supplies from Boulder to the mining camps and
mountain towns. At one point Lewis managed over 36 head of horses and employed
6 drivers. One of his drivers was brother-in-law Elmer Cobb, who later served as a
Boulder Policeman and was murdered while walking to work in 1923, spawning a
significant murder investigation which was highly publicized for over a year. Lewis
was responsible for some of the largest freight items taken up the canyon, as well as
supplying the pipe for the Silver lake Ditch, which is still in use today and visible
from the Boulder Canyon trail. One of Lewis's deliveries even took him to the glacier
fields of the continental divide.
In 1926 Lewis sold his remaining horse team, as the era of the gasoline powered
automobile took over the fr~ighting business. In November of that same year Lewis
was elected as a Boulder County Commissioner, representing the mountain towns of
the County he had spent the last 35 years serving as a teamster. Lewis served 4 years,
his term ending in 1930.
Katie died on April 25, 1947 at the age of 62. She was remembered by many as
tending one of the best lawns and gardens in all of Boulder. Lewis continued to live
in the house until his death in 1952.
The house at 1615 7~ Street was then inherited by Lewis and Katie's nephew, Ralph J.
Ardourel. Ralph ran a plumbing and heating business, but soon after moving into the
house began an excavating business, whose garage was located at the rear of 702 Pearl
Street. Ralph's excavating business was successful, and even participated in the
construction of the Denver-Boulder Turnpike. Ralph lived in the house until his death
in 1985.
The property then changed hands another 5 times unti11999 when the present owner,
Peter Olivo purchased the house and lot.

A little note of pride crept inta
his next words.
"I hauled in the pipe for the
