DESCRIPTION: The approximately 20,000 square foot lot is located on the southeast corner of 19t'' Street and Walnut Street. The 19~'' Street right-of-way just west of the school does not continue through to Walnut Street, and is occupied as a small pocket park. Histaric resources in the area were originally surveyed in 1988. (See Attacl2merit A: Vicinit~ map arrd site plan, with propose~~ boi~rzdari~) A~enda Item #6A Pa~e #2 Memo to Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 04/04/07 Re: 1902 Walnut Street - Landmark Designation T11e building is an approximately 3,480 square foot residence, converted to a private high school. The Boulder County Assessor lists the date of construction as 1900, but based on research the building was believed to have been constructed in 1873 to 1874, with several additions and alterations, all of which appear to be over 50 years old. (see Attachment C: Sanborn Map Analysis.) The earliest portion of the building was constructed in 1874, for A. R. Stewart. At the time, the eastern end of Walnut Street (Formerly known as Front Street) was the choice of many prominent pioneers, including Amos Widner, and Granville & Junius Berkley (The Berkley farm, located just east of the subject site, was Landmarked in 1993). The Boulder Coticnty NEWS reported on September 19, 1873 that "Work is actively prosecuted on Mr. A.R. Stewart's new residence, in the east part of town, on Front St. (now Walnut). The walls will be laid of the finest brick, and the establishment is altogether, one of the choicest in location, and most thorough in construction." By 1906, the Sanborn fire insurance maps show several additions on the rear of the house, including what appear to be several porches. In 1929 the sleeping porch was remodeled, although it is unknown if this was the front porch or rear porch. In 1936 the rear porch was added to and windows were added. In 1951 the house was re-roofed A~enda Item #6A Pa~e #3 1902 Walnut, March 2007 Memo to Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 04/04/07 Re; 1902 Walnut Street - Landmark Designation with asphalt, and in 1958 the garage also received a new roof. Permit records show that in 1963 a demolition permit was applied for to demolish the garage, but it is unknown if the building was actually demolished, as the existing music studio was converted from a shed/garage in 1993. In 1977, September School converted the building from 6 apartments to a school building, including rewiring, installation of a fire alarm system, plumbing repairs, and mechanical repairs and replacement. In 1987 the interior was completely remodeled, and a sprinkler system was added. In 1993 a PUD was enacted on the property to allow for the detached storage building to be converted into a music studio. As part of the review comments in 1993, the school was encouraged to landmark the building. 1902 Walnut Street, March 2007 A~enda [tem #6A Pa~e #4 Memo to Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 04/04/07 Re: 1902 Walnut Street - Landmark Designation 1902 Walnut Street window detail , March 2007 THE BOARD'S DECISION: Section 9-11-5(c) Public Hearing Before the Landmarks Board, of the historic preservation ordinance specifies that in their review of an application for local landmark designation, "the landmarks board shall determine whether the proposed designation confarms with the purposes and standards in Sections 9-11-1 Legislcetive Intent, and 9-11-2 Cify Coi~ncil May Designate Landrnarks and Historic Districts".

SIGNIFICANCE ANALYSIS ANALYSIS OF LANDMARK ELIGIBILITY SIGNIFICANCE FOR DESIGNATION AS AN INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK UNDER CRITERIA ADOPTED AS ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY,1975 Staff considers the property at 1902 Walnut Street to have sufficient significance for designation as an individual landmark under the criteria for Historical, Architectural and Environmental significance, adopted by administrative policy in 1975 (see attachment D). A. Historic Significance: The building has historical significance under criteria 1- 4. Date of Construction: Constructed 1873 to 1874. In reviewing Sanford Gladden's reference book "Improvements in Boulder", numerous entries referring to the building at 1902 Walnut were found. On September 19, 1873, The Boulder Count~ NEWS reported that "Work is actively prosecuted on Mr. A.R. Stewart's new residence, in the east part of town, on Front St. (now Walnut). The walls will be laid of the finest brick, and the establishment is altogether, one of the choicest in location, and most thorough in construction." By January 1874 the house appears to have been mostly complete, and a February 18, 1874 article reEerences Stewart's recently completed residence. In 1880, after Eben Smith had purchased the house, the Boulder County HERALD reported that Smith "having bought the A.R. Stewart house (at 1902 Walnut) is having it overhauled and refitted. When finished it will be a handsome place." 2. Association with Historic Persons or Events: The building at 1902 walnut is signiEicant for its association with the Stewart's, Smith's, and Foote's, all of local significance. The building is also locally significant for its nearly 30 year association with September School, as an early ~Iternative high school. The house was built for Augustus R. Stewart in 1873-1874. Little is known about Stew~rt, although the 1880 Census reported Stewart as being 39 years old, and having been born in Alabama, rl~enda Item #6A PaQe #6 Memo to Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 04/04/07 Re: 1902 Walnut Street - Landmark Designation and worked as a retail grocer. His store was located at 1227 Pearl Street. His Wife Julia was born in Georgia, and was 34 years old in 1880. They had two children in 1880, a son William, age 18, and Georgia, age 16. In 1887 newspaper records show Stewart served as the Boulder County Treasurer, and in viewing Boulder County Clerk and Recorder records, he held numerous mining interests. In 1880 Eben Smith purchased the house, and appears to have sold the house in 1882 possibly to a relative or child, Emily Smith, who later that year married Issac Gardner. While Eben was in Boulder he served as a Boulder County Commissioner. Eben died in 1908 in California, leaving behind a large estate, including the Little Johnny Mine. His estate in Colorado was valued at $350,000, his California estate was valued at $700,000. In 1899 Harriet E. (Miller) Foote purchased the house. She was the widow of James B. Foote, a butcher & meat market proprietor. Although further research has not been completed, it is believed that Harriet's maiden name links her as a relative to Lafayette & Mary (Foote) Miller, the founders of the city of Lafayette, Colorado. Harriet's daughter Katherine lived in the house with Harriet, and was the proprietor of the Art Specialty Store. Harriet's sister married Junius Berkley, a prominent Boulder attorney and son of Granville Berkley. Harriet died on January 5, 1921 in Denver at the age of 71. ~ In 1977 the September Schools, Inc. purchased the building, and converted it for use as a school facility. September School was founded in 1973 by Cindy Harrison through a class in Boulder's Free School. Developed as an alternative high school, they first operated out of Highland School before moving to the building at 1902 Walnut in 1978. September School owns two other buildings along 19t'' Street, both of which are located in the Chamberlain local Historic District. 3. Distinction in the development of the Communitv of Boulder: Built in 1873-1874, this building survives as a significant example of early masonry construction, designed in the Italianate style. According to current Boulder County Assessor records, this building is approximately the twelfth oldest building still remaining in Boulder. Newspaper accounts from 1873 & 1874 oEten discussed the homes of east Walnut, and the exceptional craftsmanship. 4. Reco nition bv Authorities: Historic resources in the area were originally surveyed in 1988. Front Range Research Associates found the building to be eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. They stated this building "is an excellent example of the Italianate Style. The building, which is well- A~enda Item #6A Pa~e #7 Memo to Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 04/04/07 Re: 1902 Walnut Street - Landmark Designation restored, is an important visual landmark on Walnut Street and in the Whittier neighborhood." B. Architectural Significance: The building has architectural significance under criteria 1,3,4and5. Reco~nized Period or Stvle: The building at 1902 Walnut was designed in the Italianate style, with a hipped roof, large overhanging eaves with paired decorative brackets and a paneled frieze. The walls are clad in brick, with a wide mortar joint. The windows appear to be original one over one double hung windows, with segmental stone arches and sills. The sandstone window arches have decorative carvings. A bay window is located on the west elevation. The front porch stretches the full width of the front of the building, with a second story balcony. 2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: The house was built for A.R. Stewart, but it is unknown who designed or built the building. 3. Artistic Merit: The stone arches have all been carved in decorative flower designs, and the detail of the paneled frieze and paired brackets with pendants exhibits a high level of artistic merit which retain a high degree of integrity. Example of the Uncommon: The decorative carvings in the sandstone window lintels are quite uncommon in Boulder, as are the paired decorative brackets and paneled frieze. Indi~enous Qualities: The stone foundation sandstone lintels are indigenous materials to the Boulder area. C. Environmental Significance: The building has environmental significance under criterion 1, 2, and 3. Site Characteristics: The building is prominently located on Walnut Street, highlighted by the pocket park within the 19'h Street right-of-way. Compatibility with Site: Although intensive development surrounds the building, due to its location next to the park the building stands alone surrounded by trees, and mature landscaping. .~1~;enda Item #6A Ya~e #8 Memo to Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 04/04/07 Re: 1902 Walnut Street - Landmark Designation 3. Geo~raphic Importance: The building serves as a visual landmark along Walnut Street and the Whittier neighborhood. 4. Environmental Ap~ro~riateness: None observed 5. Area Inte rit~: None observed NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT: No comment has been received regarding the designation of the building. FINDINGS: Staff considers that the designation of the building at 1902 Walnut Street conforms with Section 9-11-1 Legislative Intent of the Code which states that, "The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by protecting, enhancing, and perpetuating buildings, sites and areas of the city reminiscent of past areas, events, and persons important in local, state, or national history or providing significant architectural styles of the past" and to, "foster knowledge of the city's living heritage". Furthermore, staff considers the house to have, "a special character and historic, architectural, or aesthetic interest and value". . Given these considerations, staff recommends that the Board forward the application to City Council to designate the building at 1902 Walnut Street as an individual landmark in that it conforms with Sections 9-11-1 and 9-11-2 of the Boulder Revised Code and that it adopt the staff inemorandum as findings.

Construction History: Historical Background: In 1898, this was the home of Harriet Foote, who was the widow of James B. Foote, a butcher and meat market proprietor who also had coal mining interests, and who had died in 1895. The 2901 directory lists this house as the home of Samuel and Mary West, who may have been renting the house while Harriet Foote and her children were travelling. By 1913, this was the home of Katherine Foote, daughter of Harriet and James Foote, and proprietor of the Art Specialty Store at 1324 Pearl Street. Harriet Foote's sister was married to Junius Berkley, a prominent Boulder attorney and son of pioneer Granville Berkley. Since 1978, this building has been the September School, an alternative hiqh school. The school originated when founding director Cindy Harrison crated a class through BoUlder's Free School for people interested in an alternative high school. The school originally opened at Highland School, located at 9th and Arapahoe, in 1973. The school moved to this address in 1978, at which time the building was renovated.

Adjoining the Corson place, a little below the church lots, is the fine brick residence of Mr . E. Pound. The walls are all cam - plete, and roof going on . Nearly opposite Mr. Pound's, on the south side of the street, is the new dwellin.~ house of L~~. Rock. The next new building below is the large framed residez~ce of Mr . W inter , next to Mr . Lovelock's place. Thi s i s on the W idner addition. Mr. I,M. Philips is also making a home nearby. These houses are close by the recently completed brick residences of Stewart and Andrews, which are an ornament to the town. Below there, the last in the Widner addition is the new brick residence of Mr. J.C.Fowler. This is now nearly completed. This is one of the neatest and best built of the houses on the .:~ '< -45 - ,. ~..~ ;~-:N::,r, ^~ ~,~~n;~ , IU~:a~~G~fl"~i~= ./ ~ s °~sz~' Summary for 1874 (cont'd) Mills, erected a fine brick residence, $6, 000. Total value of improvements, $276, 33~. In estimating values as above, the land or lot is not included, but the value of the buildings is estimated at what the same will cost when completed, where the work of com- pletion is going on, and the structure is well along. Where only foundations are laid, or material gathered, no account of the same is made, or of finishing of house: properly belonging to the work of the year before. Hardly any one in town but has done something in the line of building new or improving old houses. The sum total given, we feel assured, would fall short of the actual cost of new buildings and improvements, if it were possible to make an accurate list of all for the year. There are unavoidable omissions and discrepancies in such a table. If some estimates are too high, others are too low, or omitted altogether, but on the whole we think it about as near the true figures as such compilations can be made. The owners of the most costly buildings have all been seen, and their own estimates, in round numbers, Boulder County NEWS, Jan. 22, 1875 Omissions Were inadvertently made in the list of buildings for 1874, for ex- ample the fine stable of Henry & Metcalf. We were under the im- pression that only the addition was constructed in 1874, but the whole was the work of the past year, costing $4,500. So there is an om i ss ion of $3 , ~00 . . Geo. Lytle, A. R. 5tewart and very many others expended considerable sums in additions to their buildings, so that if every- thing was reckoned, we think the whole would not fall short of three hundred thousand dollars expended in buildings in the town of Boulder for the year 1874. : +~ ,F-:,~rs., ~ , , ~-,.=6~,~ :. 11~~ ~,daa.a';= !" ~~ ,~ ~ l ~ ~~ n 1 I ~ ~~/ ~- ~ / l v `~ l Summary for 1875 Alpheus Wright, improvements on stone building, $300.

Clark has had a beautiful iron fence erected s F around her husband's grave. The fence was made here, and is ~ ` by far the prettiest and most substantial one in the cemetery (Columbia).
