Exhibit A: Proposed Landmark Site).
There are two primary structures on the parcel located at 2045 Walnut: a Foursyuare house and
a Terrace duplex with the separate addresses of 1919 and 1921 216` Street.
Memo to the Landmarks Preservation Adwsory 8oard
Re Individual Landmark Designation, 2045 Walnut
The Foursquare at 2045 Walnut Street is a 2,377 square foot, two-story brick house. It has a
random rubble, sandstone foundation, as well as sandstone lmtels and sills at the wmdows and
doors. The south elevauon has an entrance off-center to the west, flanked by a small wmdow to
the west and a large picture wmdow to the east. The smali window contams beveled, diamond-
shaped panes, and the large window employs the same design in its upper sash. A porch extends
across 3/a of the south elevation, with the front door at the far west end, and wraps around the
southeast corner of the house The porch has a brick foundation, concrete slab deck and steps,
narrow metal columns supporting the roof, and wrought iion railmgs. At the second story, a
central door accessmg the porch roof is flanked by symmetrical double-hung wmdows. A small
hipped dormer faces south at atric level. The east elevation has a second entrance from the narth
end of the porch at the southeast corner of the house. A bay wtndow with canted sides is
centered on the east elevation, between the porch to the south and a double-hung wmdow to the
north There are two double-hung windows at the second story, symmetrically aligned to each
side of the bay below, and a hipped dormer facmg east A two-story addition, possibly an
enclosed sleepmg porch, extends across'/a of the north elevation, and a later one-story addrtion
extends north and east from the northeast corner Both are clad m wood shingles, and the one-
story addrtion has a concrete block foundation The west elevation has a band of three double-
hung wmdows just north of center on the first floor, two double hung windows directly above at
the second floor, and a smgle double-hung wmdow between the floors ~ust south of center. The
roof is hipped and is topped by a central chimney. The eastern roof plane of the two-story
addition is an extension of that of the mam house, with a lower ridge height. A second chimney
is located between the origmal house and the addition.

Memo to the Landmarks Preservahon Advisory Board
Re Individual Landmark Designation, 2045 Walnut
The wood frame Terrace-style duplex is located behind the house at the extreme northeast corner
of the site, bearmg the street address ]919-21 21s~ Street. This 980 square-foot buildmg is 28
feet wide by and 30 feet long, with an additional five feet in length provided by a shed addirion
across the back. The roof slopes down from east to west, with side parapets that step down twice
with the slope, but with no visible parapet on the east elevation. The buildmg was origmally clad
with shiplap sidmg, approximately the lower five feet of which appears to have been replaced on
the original buildmg (but not the addition) with broader horizontal siding. No foundation is
visible from the exterior. Both residential units in the duplex are accessed on the west elevation,
which has a double-hung wmdow at each end and two doors at the center of the fa~ade. A
simply-braced shed roof hangs over the doors The north and south elevations each have three
double-hung wmdows, and the north elevation of the addrtion has a small square wmdow. The
west elevarion has two similar square windows and a]ow door. This buildmg currently sits in
the public right of way to the north and east, and will be moved to the property lines and placed
on a new foundarion. The owners plan to remove the rear shed addition at that time.
A third buildmg is currently located at the northwest corner of the srte This 693 square foot
accessory structure was apparently built as a garage and is now used as a residential unit. On
June 2, 2003, the Planrung Department issued a pernut far the complete demohtion of this
structure

Memo to the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board
Re Indiwdual Landmark Dasignadon, 2045 Walnut
SIGNIFICANCE
The followmg is the result of staffs research on the proposed landmark relative to the
sigmficance criteria for mdividuallandmarks adopted by the Landmarks Board on September 17,
1975. The Landmarks Board uses significance cnteria in determmmg if a building confarms to
the purposes and standuds of Sections 10-13-1 and 10-13-3 of the Historic Preservat~on Code,
B.R.C. 1981.
Historical Signi~cance:
The buildings located at 2045 Walnut Street and 1919-21 21a` Street ue historically significant
under criteria 1, 3 and 4.
1. Date of Construction: 2045 Walnut. 1906 - 1910
1919-21 21a` SC.: 1918 - 1922
3. Distinction in the Development of the Community: The buildmgs at 2045 Walnut and
1919-21 Street typify the mixed-density character of East Boulder throughout the 20`h
century.
4. Recognition by Authorities: The Historic Buildmg Inventory Form states that the house
at 2045 Walnut, while not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, "is a good
example of Foursquare, a common style found m Colorado after 1900," and "is also
representative of Boulder's early 20`h century middie class housing i1 The buildmg at
1919-21 21s~ Street has never been surveyed, although a handwritten note on the 2045
Walnut survey notes the presence of a"historic duplex."
~laboration: The buildmgs on the subject property are located in the East Boulder addition to
the origmal town site. The addition was platted m 1872 and expanded m 1874 by Boulder
pioneers Amos Widner and Granville Berkley to contam the area from 18`h Street to 25`h Street
between Front (now Walnut) and Bluff Sheets (see Attachment B. East Boulder Plat Map)
Berkeley and Widner were mstrumental in attracting the railroad and the university to Boulder,
and wanted to capitalize on the city's success in these ventures by establishing a residential
neighborhood for the mcommg population In 1874, Berkley, along with his sons Jumus and
Granville Jr., Alphus White, Samuel Hayden, and Thomas Graham, had mcorporated the White
Rock and Boulder Ditch, which flows north opposite 21s~ Stieet from 2045 Walnut
The orignal part of the primary structure at 2045 Walnut was built between 1906 and 1910,
according to the Sanborn maps of those years (see Attachment D. Sanborn Maps) The earliest
known owners or residents of this property were Jay C. and Maggie M. Lee, who were listed as
occupants in the 1911 Polk City Directory, and who sold the house to John and Mary E Sides in
1913. Jay Lee was a carpenter and contractor. In 1917, Mary Sides sold the house to Clarence
and Mmta Mason for $3000. The Masons held the house until 1930 when it was acquired by the
Central Investment Company, and then Railway Savmgs and Buildmg.
The Masons added the Terrace style duplex to the rear of the property between 1918 and 1922
(see Attachment C. Sanborn Maps). The earhest known residents there were Lee R. and
Josephine W. Akins and Gayle B. and Goldie Burchett. The 1926 Polk City Directory lists
Gayle Burchett as a driver for the Hygiene Ice and Coal Company and Lee Akins as a laborer.

Meino to the Landmarks Preservation Adwsory Board
Re Individual Landmark Dasignation, 2045 Walnut
Ten years later, Mr Akms ~oined the CU Athletic Department as equipment manager, and
became future Supreme Court Justice Byron White's first boss.
Durmg the 1930s, both buildmgs were plagued by frequent vacancies. Owners dunng this time
included postal clerk Clarence Lewis (1935-36), railroad inspector Robert Seth Gardner (1936-
37), and Charles W. Parsons (1937-38), semor member of the Parsons-Harris Real Estate and
Insurance Agency and husband of novelist Peryl Wade Parsons, who wrote such titles as Gates
of the Gods, My Love Is Young and Argentine Adventure. Of these, oniy Mr. Lewis lived on the
property
The presence of two primary buildings on the site is mdicahve of the nature of East Boulder as
an early rruxed-density neighborhood of both smgle-family homes and mulhple umt apartments
This was due to its proximity to the railroads, the uruversity, and the downtown and Pearl Street
commercial areas In 1939, new owner Mrs Eva V House broke up the house mto three
apartment units to accommodate additional rental mcome Vacancies at 2045 Walnut and 1919-
21 21s` Street were rare for many years as students, waitresses, nurses, labarers, electricians,
plumbers, retail clerks and phone company employees sought out housing m the central Boulder
neighborhood. Among Mrs. House's first tenants were two widows: seamstress Ida M. Hoff in
the house, and housekeeper Ethel Robinson in 1917 (now 1919) 21`~ Street. Anna E Yates, a
nurse at Boulder Commumty Hospital, also lived m the house at that time Upon her reUrement
m 1954, Mrs Yates was honored when the hospital named its new nursery after her
Ownership passed from Mrs House to Rose E. Kronquest, who worked for the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company for over 40 years, first m Nebraska and m Boulder afrer
1944 Other MST&T employees hved ay 2045 Walnut durmg the 1940s, mcluding Clyde and
Betty Whmery and William and Rosemary Clark. Between 1940 and 1943, the addresses at the
terrace changed from 1917 and 1919 to 1919 and 1921, respectively Mrs Kronquest sold to
Enoch Spicer m 1945, and Mr Spicer occupied 1919 2151 Street unhl 1951, when he sold to
Loyal Erwm and Marie Grace Terry An electrician, Mr. Terry had moved to Boulder m 1890,
and sold appliances before buymg and operating the lllig fox farm north of town Alfred and
Grace Gutfelder, tenants of the Loyals' since 1951, purchased the property in 1959 The
Gutfelders currenfly own the property ~omtly with the apphcant for landmark designation, Sue
Mundmger (for a corrtplete lest of owners and resadents, see Attachment D: Deed and D~rectory
Research).
Architectural Significance:
The buildmgs located at 2045 Walnut are architecturally significant under criteria 1 and 5.
1. Recognized Period or Style: The structure at 2045 Walnut is an intact example of a
vernacular Foursquare house, and the structure at 1919-21 21s~ Street is an intact example
of a Terrace duplex
4. Example of the Unwmmon: The Terrace at 1919-21 21s~ Street is an unusual wood
frame exampie of the locally uruque Terrace style.
5. Indigenous Characteristics: Window and door lintels and sills of local sandstone.

Memo to tha Landmarks Preservatlon Advisory Board
Re Individual Landmark Designation, 2045 Walnut
Elaboration: Accordmg to Sarah Pearce's A Gu~de to Colorado Archetecture•
One of the most commonly found sryles m Colorado after 1900, the Foursquare is
easily recognized by its square plan and overall simplicity. The majority of these
homes were build during the first three decades of the 20'h century. A typical
Foursquare is a two-story h~pped roof structure with central dormer, mmimal
decoration, broad overhangmg eaves with brackets or modillions, classical frieze
with dentils, and a porch with hipped roof supported by simple Doric columns or
square posts Occasionally, a Foursquare will feature a shaped gable or will be
considerably larger with more elaborate ornamentation. But in each case, the
basic square plan is dommant "z
A Field Guide to American Houses classifies the Foursquare as a subtype of the Prairie style.
The Prairie Box or American Foursquare has a simple square or rectangular plan,
low-pitched hip roof, and symmetrical fa~ade One-story wmgs, porches, or
carports are clearly subordmate to the principle two-story mass The entrance,
which may be centered oi off-center, is a conspicuous focal-pomt of the fa~ade.
This was the earhest Prairie form and developed mto the most common
vernacular version. In vetnacular examples, htpped dormers are common, as are
full-width, smgle-story front porches and double-hung sash wmdows. Many
show Mission or Italian Renaissance secondary details, such as tiled roofs or
cormce-lme brackets."3
With rts predommantly square plan, htpped roof and dormeis, smgle-story porch, and the
simplicity of its decoration, the house at 2045 Walnut is an intact example of a vernacular
Foursquare house The earliest mdication of any structure on this property, the 1910 Sanborn
map, shows both the origmal house and the two-story rear addihon. The one-story rear addition
does not appear on any Sanborn map through 1960.
Agam referrmg to Sarah Pearce's A Guicle to Colorado Architecture.
The Tenace Style is considered to be somewhat umque m Colorado and dates
from the late 1880's through 1920. These structures are basically one or two story
brick bu~ldmgs with a flat roof and corbelled cornice. The style ~s evident m a
few single-family homes as well as duplexes, tnplexes, and multrple family umt
complexes. Many have mdividual porches at each entrance. While the most
common cornice treatment is brick corbelling, occasionally a separate cormce
with brackets or parapets at the rooflme are evident. Stylisuc elements such as
Richardsonian arches or Italianate bracketed cornices are used occasionally, but
the basic flat-roofed, rectangular form predommates."4

Memo to the Landmarks Preservation Adwsory Board
Re Individual Landmark Designation, 2045 Walnut
Wrth its flat roof and parapets, one-story rectangular form, and dual residenhal umts, the
bmldmg at 1919-21 21s` Street mamtains the mtact form of an atypically wood-framed Terrace
style structure.
Environmental Significance:
The property located at 2045 Walnut is environmentally significant under criteria 2 and 5.
2. Compatibility with Site: This buildmg is compahble to rts location m terms of scale,
massing, placement and use
5. Area Integrity: These buildings would contribute to the potential Walnut Historic
District as defined by the 2000 Update to the Boulder Va11ey Comprehensive Plan.
Elaboration: This buildmg is located in an area which has been determmed by the Landmarks
Preservation Advisory Board to have the potential for local historic district designahon, as the
Walnut Historic Distriet The area is primarily residential m character, and already contams two
landmarks: the Berkeley Farm at 1841, 2108 and 2141 Walnut, and the Lytle House at 2016
Walnut Although the mventory survey of 1988 characterizes the Foursquare at 2045 Walnut as
not contributmg to a National Register Historic District, both the Foursquaie and the Terrace
would contribute to a local historic district
SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY
The buildings at 2045 Walnut are• 1) historically significant for their dates of construction and
association with Boulder's early 20~h century middle-class, 2) architecturally sigruficant as
examples of the Foursquare and Terrace styles; and, 3) environmentally sigmficant as
contributing to a potential Walnut Historic District
Character-defmmg features of 2045 Walnut mclude rts one-story porch, hipped roof form,
sandstone lentils and sills, double-hung wmdows, and two story addition on the north elevation.
Character-defimng features of 1919-21 21s~ Street include its flat roof and parapets, door and
window opemngs, and single-story rectangular from.
RECOMMENDATION

"Guidelmes for Names of Landmarked Structures and Sites" adopted as admimstrative
regulation m 1989. (see Attachment E• Guadelines for Names of Landmarked Structures and
Sates)

6UIDELINE5 FOR NAMES OF IANDMARKED SiRUCTURES AND SITES
Purpose:
The City of Boulder Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board finds that adoption
of gutdelines for the offic~al landmark names of structures and sites designateo
by the City Counc~l as City of Boulder Landmarks will provide consistency in
meet7ng the histortc preservation goals as set forth in the Historic Preservation
Code (10-31-1 and 10-13-3).
Criteria for Select~on of Official Landmark Names:
w=,.~,`~ 1. The official landmark name of the site or structure should be based on one
or more of the following criter~a:
A. Ortginal owners, architect or builder;
B. Historically significant persons or prominenti long term residencs,
C. A commonly accepted name;
D. prig~nal or later events or use;
E. Unusual or arChitectural characteristic which clearly identifies the
landmark; and ~
F. 7he contr7buttons of both men and women.
2. Owners requesting landmark destgnation for their build~ngs may be
considered under the above criteria. In the event that the off~c~al
landmark name does not include the present owners, a separate plaque
containing the statement "Landmark destgnation appl~ed for (date) by owners
~names of owners)" will be made available at the owner's expense. '
