DISCUSSION OF LANDMARK ALTERATION AND DEMOLITION APPLICATIONS ISSUED AND PENDING  Statistical Report  Matt Appelbaum, Council Member, shared the City Council’s interest in enhancing connection with the city’s boards and commissions, noting that he and City Council Member Jan Burton are leading this effort and form the subcommittee. He elaborated on avenues to communicate and work effectively with council. Some of the strategies included were: o Submitting topics of interest onto the City council’s January retreat agenda, so that they may be considered for the upcoming work plan. o Communicating, either as an individual or as a board, via written message (email or letter), to a City Council member; this is especially helpful to highlight a board’s case on the council agenda, because the packets can be lengthy. o Watching the City Council agendas and board members placing themselves on the agenda via staff, is preferred to board members speaking during public participation. o Creating a board manual (or one‐pager) similar to the Library Commission’s that highlights the structure of the group, i.e. quasi‐judicial, topics addressed, the current members, the number of hours of participation. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Public hearing and consideration of an application to designate the house and a portion of the property located at 479 Arapahoe Ave. as a local historic landmark, per Section 9‐ 11‐5 of the Boulder Revised Code, 1981 (HIS2016‐00122).

Yin saw the case in Landmark design review committee (Ldrc) and made site visits to the property. Staff Presentation M. Cameron, presented the case to the board, with the staff recommendation that the Landmarks Board approve the requestto forward the application to the City Council with a recommendation to designate. . Applicant’s Presentation Kate Toan Merlin, 479 Arapahoe Ave., spoke in support of landmark designation. She shared her enthusiasm for rehabilitating the house. Mark Gerwing, 3675 Silver Plume Ln., spoke in support of landmark designation. He explained the reasoning for proposing a partial landmark boundary of the property due to the timing of addressing the accessory building. Mr. Gerwing mentioned plan is to remove the accessory building and build another modestly sized building, but due to the existing duplex zoning, this will take more time and the applicant would like to proceed. Board Discussion Motion On a motion by F. Sheets, and seconded by E. Budd, voted and approved (4‐0) that the Landmarks Board recommend that the city council designate the house and portion of the property at 479 Arapahoe Ave. as a local historic landmark, to be known as the Higman House, finding that it meets the standards for individual landmark designation in Sections 9‐11‐1 and 9‐11‐2, B.R.C. 1981, and adopt the staff memorandum dated August 3rd, 2016 as the findings of the board.

Hewat, presented the case to the board, with the staff recommendation that the Landmarks Board approve the request. Applicant’s Presentation Michael Bosma, 1885 Quince Ave., spoke in support of landmark designation.

Butler, voted and approved (3‐0) that the Landmarks Board recommend that the city council designate the property at 2949 Broadway Street as a local historic landmark, to be known as the Hulse House, finding that it meets the standards for individual landmark designation in Sections 9‐11‐1 and 9‐ 11‐2, B.R.C. 1981, and adopt the staff memorandum dated August 3, 2016, as the findings of the board.

Site: 2935 19th St. 2. Zoning: RL-1 3. Owner/Applicant: Albert A. and Eleanor Frances Roberts Bartlett Trust 4. Legal Description: Jos. Wolff's Subdivision Replat A, Lot 18A 5. Date of Construction: 1917 ______________________________________________________________________________ STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following motion: I move that the Landmarks Board recommend that the City Council designate the property at 2935 19th St. as a local historic landmark, to be known as the Tyler-Monroe-Bartlett House, finding that it meets the standards for individual landmark designation in Sections 9-11-1 and 9-11-2, B.R.C. 1981, and adopt the staff memorandum dated September 7, 2016, as the findings of the board. FINDINGS The Landmarks Board finds that, based upon the application and evidence presented and subject to the conditions of approval, the proposed designation application will be consistent with the purposes and standards of the Historic Preservation Ordinance , Chapter 9-11, B.R.C. 1981, and: AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 2 1. The proposed designation will protect, enhance, and perpetuate a property reminiscent of past eras and persons important in local and state history and provide a significant example of architecture from the past. Sec. 9-11-1(a), B.R.C. 1981. 2. The proposed designation will maintain an appropriate setting and environment and will enhance property values, stabilize the neighborhood, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the city’s living heritage. Sec. 9-11- 1(a), B.R.C. 1981. 3. The proposed designation draws a reasonable balance between private property rights and the public interest in preserving the city’s cultural, historic, and architectural heritage by ensuring that demolition of buildings important to that heritage will be carefully weighed with other alternatives. Sec. 9-11-1(b), B.R.C. 1981. 4. The property proposed for designation has historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value. Sec. 9-11-2(a)(1), B.R.C. 1981. BACKGROUND On June 3, 2016, the city received an application from the property owner, the Estate of Albert A. Bartlett and Eleanor Frances Roberts Bartlett Family Trust, for an individual landmark designation of the property at 2935 19th St. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Constructed in 1917, the two-story eclectic-revival house at 2935 19th St. is located between Elder and Cedar Avenues in the Newland neighborhood. The house is aligned perpendicularly to 18th and 19th streets, its façade and main entry located on the south face, while the east (side) elevation of the house faces onto 19th Street. The surrounding lots were developed primarily in the 1950s and 1960s when the original Tyler Ranch was subdivided. It is not located in a potential or designated historic district, but was found to be potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places when it was surveyed during the 1995 Boulder Survey of Historic Places: Newland & North Boulder. See Attachment B: Architectural Record Inventory Form. AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 3 Figure 1: Location Map, 2935 19th St. Figure 2: 2935 19th St., South Elevation, 2014 Designed in an eclectic variant of the Italian Renaissance Revival with elements of the Prairie School, this prominent house makes use of local stone, a clay tile roof and echoes the Mediterranean Revival found at the University of Colorado, Boulder’s campus. The AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 4 rusticated fieldstone first story, stuccoed second story, prominent concrete lintels, emphasized entrance, and terracotta tile roof are all adapted examples of the university’s traditional design vocabulary. A wide projecting eave reminiscent of early twentieth century “Prairie Style” houses of the Midwestern United States features exposed rafters covered at the end by a fascia board, which is itself largely concealed by copper gutters and downspouts. The roof is clad in barrel-shaped red terra cotta tile, and is crowned by a pair of stucco clad chimneys with metal vents. The façade (south elevation) is dominated by a prominent entry covered by a hipped frame roof clad in red asphalt shingles and supported by carved wooden brackets and two square wood columns. The front entry features a single 6-over-6 light door, surrounded by rose colored decorative panels with curvilinear wooden frames. Three multi-light windows flank the entrance, with a pair of multi-light windows located on the east bay. The second story features three pairs of multi-light windows, with a bay located above the entrance. All windows appear to be original. An abandoned driveway descends to a basement level garage door at the east end of the façade. Figure 3. East (side) elevation, 2014. The east elevation features two sets of three double hung, one-over-one double hung windows on the first floor and a similar configuration of three-over-one, double hung sash windows on the second floor. A concrete string course supports the upper story windows while the lower story windows feature concrete lintels matching those on the façade. AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 5 Figure 4. Northwest corner, 2014. The north face of the house features two pairs of six-over-one, double hung windows, and one shorter double hung window near the northwest corner. The lower level of the north elevation features one pair of hung windows near the inset to the narrow east wing, a single hung window in the middle, a shorter hung window just north of the center, and a back door. The back door is accessed via four concrete steps and a landing, which are clad with field stone. A cellar door penetrates the field stone wall at the west face. ALTERATIONS Figure 5. Boulder County Assessor’s Photo, c.1949 AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 6 The house retains a high level of historic integrity, with only minor alterations having occurred over the years. The recilinear wood posts at the front entry were a later addition, likely made in 1975, when construction permit records show that work was being done on the front entry. The metal vents on the chimneys were added after the 1950’s, and the westernmost chimney vents have been replaced since 1995. No clear historic imagery of the north or west elevations is availible, making the extent of alterations there unclear. However, there is no visual evidence of significant change to the house in these areas. HISTORY Until the 1950s, North Boulder was predominately agricultural, with a mix of ranches and small farms. The land now occupied by 2935 19th St. was part of a ranch owned by local judge James H. Decker.1 It was acquired by Captain Clinton M. Tyler, a prominent Boulder pioneer, in 1872. Tyler was a key early Boulder pioneer, arriving from Baraboo, Wisconsin to Colorado in 1860, where he established one of the most advanced stamp mills in the territory.2 He, along with James P. Maxwell, was instrumental in establishing the first roads through the foothills above Boulder, a vital boost for the economy of the then-struggling town.3 Fred Tyler took over his father’s landholdings in Wyoming following Clinton’s death in 1886, and later mined in Nevada.4 It was there he met and married Mae Robinson, originally from Detroit, on December 23, 1907.5 They moved to Denver in 1914 and to Boulder in 1917, where at 2935 19th Street they, “built one of the finest country homes to be found in Boulder County”.6 It was designed and built for them by local building contractor and architect Albert Lawrence.7 Fred Tyler operated a quarry for architectural stone and gravel, located in Four Mile Canyon and was a member of the Masons and the Knights 1 Simmons, R.

Millikan Award and the Melba Newell Phillips Award38. He also held two administrative positions with the university, serving on its Boulder Campus Planning Commission for 25 years and chairing the committee which designed Duane Physical Laboratories Complex, home of the CU Physics and Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences departments.39 Bartlett was highly influential in civic affairs; in 1959, he and fellow professor Bob McKelvey founded the movement to establish the Blue Line, a city charter regulation prohibiting city water service above about 5,750 feet in altitude, which serves to limit development in the foothills above town.40 On the heels of that successful effort, Bartlett was one of the founders of People’s League for Action Now, commonly known as PLAN--Boulder.41 PLAN— Boulder’s original objective was to further limit growth by establishing an Open Space sales tax, which provided funds for city acquisition of open space outside the city itself.42 This effort succeeded in 1967, leading to the creation of the greenbelts, over 41,000 acres of preserved open space ringing the city of Boulder.43 Bartlett also attained international notoriety with his famed lecture on growth, “Arithmetic, Population, and Energy.”44 In this lecture, with its memorable tagline, “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function,” Bartlett explained how seemingly small, continual rates of growth lead to 38 University of Colorado, Boulder. “CU-Boulder Campus Morns Death of Longtime, Celebrated Physics Professor Al Bartlett.” Web. http://www.colorado.edu/today/2013/09/09/cu-boulder-campus-mourns-death-longtime- celebrated-physics-professor-al-bartlett 39 Ibid. 40 Talbott, Clint. “Drawing the Line on Growth: Blue Line Activist Al Bartlett Helped keep Foothills Green.” Daily Camera, December 8, 2002.

CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD’S DECISION: Section 9-11-5(c), Public Hearing Before the Landmarks Board, B.R.C. 1981, specifies that in its review of an application for local landmark designation, “the landmarks board shall determine whether the proposed designation conforms with the purposes and standards in Sections 9-11-1, ‘Legislative Intent,’ and 9-11-2, ‘City Council May Designate Landmarks and Historic Districts’ B.R.C. 1981.” See Attachment F: Sections 9-11-1, Purpose and Legislative Intent, & 9-11-2, City Council May Designate or Amend Landmarks and Historic Districts, Boulder Revised Code 1981. To assist in the interpretation of the historic preservation ordinance, the Landmarks Board has adopted significance criteria to use when evaluating applications for individual landmarks. See Attachment G: Significance Criteria for Individual Landmarks. The board may approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the application. Findings must be adopted within 30 days of the hearing date. Should the board disapprove the application, the board must notify City Council of that action within fourteen days of the hearing date. City Council may call up a decision disapproving a designation. Should an application be disapproved, the same applica tion may not be submitted for a period of one year. If the board finds that the proposed designation conforms to Sections 9-11-1 and 9-11-2 of the B.R.C. 1981, it shall adopt specific findings and conclusions approving or 45 Al Bartlett, “Arithmetic, Population, and Energy.” Al Bartlett.org.

Does the proposed application protect, enhance, and perpetuate buildings in the city reminiscent of past eras, events, and persons important in local, state, or national history or providing significant examples of architectural styles of the past and does the portion of the property proposed for designation have historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value? Staff finds that the designation of the house at 2935 19th St. will protect, enhance, and perpetuate a building reminiscent of a past era, past events, and persons important in local history and preserve an important example of Boulder’s historic architecture. Staff considers the application to meet the historic criteria for individual landmark designation as outlined below: HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 2935 19th St. has historic significance under criteria 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1. Date of Construction: 1917 Elaboration: Well-preserved example of an eclectic variant of the Italian Renaissance Revival with elements of the Prairie School of design. 2. Association with Persons or Events: Fred and Mae Tyler, Lucius and LaRue Monroe, and Albert and Eleanor Bartlett Elaboration: Constructed in 1918 by local architect and builder Albert Lawrence for prominent Boulder citizens Fred and Mae Tyler. Fred owned and operated a stone quarry in Four Mile Canyon and likely procured the field stone for the house from this location. In 1941 the house was sold to Lucius and LaRue Monroe. Lucius began working at Boulder’s Daily Camera newspaper as a paperboy in 1918 and continued with the newspaper until 1970 when he retired as its publisher. LaRue was a prominent Boulder citizen involved in various civic organizations over the course of her life. In 1957, Albert and Eleanor Bartlett purchased the property. Noted University of Colorado physicist, Al Bartlett is credited with establishing Boulder’s Blue Line in the early 1960s and as the founder of PLAN--Boulder which established a sales tax for the acquisition and development of Boulder’s greenbelt in late 1960s. 3. Development of the Community: Meadow Lawn Park and Edgewood Subdivisions AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 13 Elaboration: This house is one of the earliest in the area. The neighborhood was developed primarily between 1953 and 1956. The house at 2935 19th St. is representative of the area’s rural character in the first half of the twentieth century. 4. Recognition by Authorities: Well-preserved example of eclectic variant of the Italian Renaissance Revival with elements of the Prairie School of design. Recommended individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by Front Range Research Associates, 1995. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house at 2935 19th St. has architectural significance under criteria 1, 3, 4, and 5. 1.

Example of the Uncommon: Use of local field stone likely sourced from Fred Tyler’s quarry in Four Mile Canyon. 5. Indigenous Qualities: Local field stone construction Elaboration: Use of local field stone likely sourced from Fred Tyler’s quarry in Four Mile Canyon. B. Does the proposed application develop and maintain appropriate settings and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the City’s living heritage? AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 14 Staff finds that the proposed application would maintain appropriate settings and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the city’s living heritage. The lot was subdivided in 2016, however, staff finds that the new property boundaries preserves the rural character of the lot. Staff believes that the application meets the environmental significance criteria for individual landmarks as outlined below: ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The building at 2935 19th St. has environmental significance under criteria 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1. Site Characteristics: Expansive parcel with established vegetation. Elaboration: 2935 19th St. is an unusually large lot with high quality landscaping featuring many mature trees. 2. Compatibility with Site: Site Integration Elaboration: House is well integrated into this large property which possesses large trees and mature vegetation. 3. Geographic Importance: Familiar visual feature in north Boulder. Elaboration: Recognized as one of the most prominent and distinctive properties in north Boulder. 4. Environmental Appropriateness: House is well integrated into this large property which possesses large trees and mature vegetation. 5. Area Integrity: None Observed Elaboration: The property is surrounded by the Meadow Lawn Park and Edgewood subdivisions, which were primarily developed in the 1950s and 1960s. The property is not located in a designated or identified potential historic district. Landmark Name: Staff considers this landmark should be known as the Tyler-Monroe-Bartlett Property, after its builders and first residents Fred and Mae Tyler, noted newspaper man Lucius Paddock Monroe, and its longest residents, CU physics professor and growth expert Albert Bartlett and his wife, Eleanor. This is consistent with the Landmark Board’s Guidelines for Names of Landmarked Structures and Sites (1988) and the National Register of AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 15 Historic Places Guidelines for Designation. See Attachment H: Guidelines for Names of Landmarked Structures and Sites. Boundary Analysis: Following a recent subdivision, the building sits on a residential lot measuring 29,994 sq. ft. in size. Staff recommends that the boundary be established as proposed to follow the property lines of the lot, which is the boundary proposed by the applicant and is consistent with current and past practices and the National Register Guidelines for establishing landmark boundaries.

It is also the purpose of this chapter to develop and maintain appropriate settings and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the city’s living heritage. (b) The City Council does not intend by this chapter to preserve every old building in the city but instead to draw a reasonable balance between private property rights and the public interest in preserving the city’s cultural, historic, and architectural heritage by ensuring that demolition of buildings and structures important to that heritage will be carefully weighed with other alternatives and that alterations to such buildings and structures and new construction will respect the character of each such setting, not by imitating surrounding structures, but by being compatible with them. (c) The City Council intends that in reviewing applications for alterations to and new construction on landmarks or structures in a historic district, the Landmarks Board shall follow relevant city policies, including, without limitation, energy-efficient design, access for the disabled and creative approaches to renovation. 9-11-2: City Council may Designate or Amend Landmarks and Historic Districts states: (a) Pursuant to the procedures in this chapter the City Council may by ordinance: (1) Designate as a landmark an individual building or other feature or an integrated group of structures or features on a single lot or site having a special character and historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value and designate a landmark site for each landmark; (2) Designate as a historic district a contiguous area containing a number of sites, buildings, structures or features having a special character and historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value and constituting a distinct section of the city; (3) Designate as a discontiguous historic district a collection of sites, buildings, structures, or features which are contained in two or more geographically separate areas, having a special character and historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value that are united together by historical, architectural, or aesthetic characteristics; and (4) Amend designations to add features or property to or from the site or district. (b) Upon designation, the property included in any such designation is subject to all the requirements of this code and other ordinances of the city. AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 29 Attachment F: Significance Criteria for Individual Landmarks SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA Individual Landmark September 1975 On September 6, 1975, the City Council adopted Ordinance #4000 providing procedures for the designation of Landmarks and Historic Districts in the City of Boulder. The purpose of the ordinance is the preservation of the City’s permitted cultural, historic, and architectural heritage. The Landmarks Board is permitted by the ordinance to adopt rules and regulations as it 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. Historic Significance The place (building, site, area) should show character, interest or value as part of the 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 society; or exemplify the cultural, political, economic, or social heritage of the community. Date of Construction: This area of consideration places particular importance on the age of the structure. Association with Historical Persons or Events: This association could be national, state, or local. Distinction in the Development of the Community of Boulder: This is most applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structure, though in 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. Recognition by Authorities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, Inc. the Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Barker, 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 historic interest and value. Other, if applicable. Architectural Significance The place should embody those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type 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 architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship which represent a significant innovation; or be a fine example of the uncommon. Recognized Period/Style: It should exemplify specific elements of an architectural period/style, i.e.: Victorian, Revival styles, such as described by Historic American Building Survey Criteria, Gingerbread Age (Maass), 76 Boulder Homes (Barkar), The History of Architectural Style (Marcus/Wiffin), Architecture in San Francisco (Gebhard et al), History of Architecture (Fletcher), Architecture/Colorado, and any other published source of universal or local analysis of AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 30 a style. Architect or Builder of Prominence: A good example of the work of an architect or builder who is recognized for expertise in his field nationally, state-wide, or locally. Artistic Merit: A skillful integration of design, material, and color which is of excellent visual quality and/or demonstrates superior craftsmanship. Example of the Uncommon: Elements of architectural design, details, or craftsmanship that are representative of a significant innovation. Indigenous Qualities: A style or material that is particularly associated with the Boulder area. Other, if applicable. Environmental Significance 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. Site Characteristics: It should be of high quality in terms of planned or natural vegetation. Compatibility 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 location or singular physical characteristics, it represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community. Environmental Appropriateness: The surroundings are complementary and/or it is situated in a manner particularly suited to its function. Area Integrity: Places which provide historical, architectural, or environmental importance and continuity of an existing condition, although taken singularly or out of context might not qualify under other criteria. AGENDA ITEM #5A PAGE 31 Attachment H: Guidelines for Names of Landmarked Structures and Sites GUIDELINES FOR NAMES OF LANDMARKED STRUCTURES AND SITES PURPOSE: The City of Boulder Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board finds that adoption of guideline for the official landmark names of structures and sites designated by the City Council as City of Boulder Landmarks will provide consistency in meeting the historic preservation goals as set forth in the Historic Preservation Code (9-11-1 and 9-11-3). CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF OFFICIAL LANDMARK NAMES: 1. The official landmark name of the site or structure should be based on one or more of the following criteria: A. Original owners, architect, or builder; B. Historically significant persons or prominent long-term residents; C. A commonly accepted name; D. Original or later event or use; E. Unusual or architectural characteristic which clearly which clearly identifies the landmark; and F. The contributions of both men and women. 2. Owners requesting landmark designation for their buildings may be considered under the above criteria. In the event that the official landmark name does not include the present owners, a separate plaque containing the statement “Landmark designation applied for (date) by owners (names of owners)” will be made available at the owners’ expense.

STATISTICS: 1. Site: 2220 Bluff St. 2. Date of Construction: c. 1900 3. Zoning: RMX‐1 4. Existing House Size: 868 sq. ft. (approx.) 5. Lot Size: 7,499 sq. ft. (approx.) 6. Owner/Applicant: Julie Bragg STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning, Housing and Sustainability (PH&S) recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following motion: I move that the Landmarks Board issue a stay of demolition for the building located at 2220 Bluff St., for a period not to exceed 180 days from the day the permit application was accepted by the city manager, adopting the staff memorandum with the findings listed below, in order to explore alternatives to demolition. A 180‐day stay period would expire on December 3, 2016. Should the board choose to issue the demolition permit, or if the permit is allowed to expire, staff recommends that prior to demolition the following be submitted to Planning, Housing and Sustainability (PH&S) staff for review, approval and recording with Carnegie Library: Agenda Item 4B Page 2 1. A site plan showing the location of all existing improvements on the subject property; 2. Color medium format archival quality photographs of the interior and exterior of the house. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On May 18, 2016, the Planning Housing & Sustainability (PH&S) Department received a demolition permit application for the house at 2220 Bluff St. The buildings are located within the potential local and National Register eligible Whittier historic district and are over 50 years old. The action proposed meets the definition of demolition found in Section 9‐16‐1 of the Boulder Revised Code 1981. On May 25, 2016, the Landmarks design review committee (Ldrc) referred the application to the Landmarks Board for a public hearing, finding there was “probable cause to believe that the building may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark.” PURPOSE OF THE BOARD’S REVIEW Pursuant to section 9‐11‐23(d)(2), B.R.C. 1981, demolition requests for all buildings built prior to 1940 requires review by the Landmarks design review committee (Ldrc). The Ldrc is comprised of two members of the Landmarks Board and a staff member. If, during the course of its review, the Ldrc determines that there is “probable cause to consider the property may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark,” the issuance of the permit is stayed for up to 60 days from the date a completed application was accepted and the permit is referred to the board for a public hearing. If the Landmarks Board finds that the building proposed for demolition may have significance under the criteria in subsection (f) of Section 9‐11‐23, B.R.C. 1981, the application shall be suspended for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date the permit application was accepted by the city manager as complete in order to provide the time necessary to consider alternatives to the building demolition. If imposed, a 180‐day stay period would start when the completed application was accepted by the city manager (June 6, 2016, when the Landmarks Board fee was paid) and expire on December 3, 2016. Section 9‐11‐23 (g) and (h), B.R.C. 1981. DESCRIPTION The property measures approximately 7,499 square foot, and is located on the south side of Bluff Street, between 22nd and 23rd Streets within the identified potential local and National Register eligible Whittier Historic District. The property is bound by residential properties on the east and west, and by and alley at the rear. Agenda Item 4B Page 3 Figure 1. Location Map showing 2220 Bluff St. Figure 2. North Elevation (façade), 2220 Bluff St., 2016 The single story, L‐shaped vernacular frame house is approximately 868 square feet in size and features a cross‐gable roof, exterior walls clad in narrow clapboard siding, while the front gable end is clad in alternating sections of large fish scale and smaller diamond shaped wooden shingles. The front gable end also features decorative purlin panels and Agenda Item 4B Page 4 returned eaves. A wide double hung window is located beneath the front gable and is flanked by wooden slat shutters. The entrance is flanked by three double hung windows on the east and a single double‐hung window on the west. The windows appear to be original. A porch with decorative metal supports and corrugated fiberglass roofing spans the side‐gable portion of the façade was added in 1966. The west elevation of the house is dominated by the end of the primary gable, which is clad in alternating sections of square and fish scale wood shingles. Below, there are two windows; a double‐hung window towards the front, and a square picture window further back. The east elevation also features window openings. Figure 5. North (Rear) Elevation, 2220 Bluff St., 2016 A gable roof addition is located at the south (rear) elevation. Building permit records indicate that it was constructed in 1954. The centrally located door appears to be original, with a non‐historic security door. A small double hung aluminum window is located to the east of the door. The rear addition features narrow, horizontal lap siding. A small, horizontal sliding window is located at the gable end. Agenda Item 4B Page 5 Figure 6. Tax Assessor Photograph, 2220 Bluff St., c.1929. Carnegie Branch Library for Local History. Alterations The house appears to remain largely intact in terms of its original form, mass, scale, detailing and materiality. A comparison between the 1922 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map and the 1929 tax assessor’s card shows that the front porch was enclosed within this period. In 1954, a 12 ft. by 12 ft. addition was constructed at the rear of the house. The addition is clad in white clapboard siding that matches the original and extends to the gable end. The addition features exposed rafter tails and lacks the returned eaves of the original structure. Condition No information has been received regarding the structural condition of the building. Externally, it appears to be in good condition, save for degradation of the paint on the east and west elevations. PROPERTY HISTORY The property at 2220 Bluff St. is part of the original town of Boulder, platted in 1859 by the Boulder City Town Company1. By the late 1890’s, the parcel had been acquired by John W. Day, Jr., a prominent Boulder real estate broker whose house at 2020 19th St. was designated a local landmark in 1998.2 In 1897, Day sold the lot to Joseph G. and Mary A. 1 Whitacre, Christine, and R. Laurie Simmons, “1987 Boulder Survey of Historic Places: Whittier Neighborhood.” City of Boulder, September, 1987. 2 Cole, Bob, and Lara Ramsey, Memorandum to City Council, September 1, 1998. Agenda Item 4B Page 6 Smith, whom the house was likely built for. The Smiths are the listed residents in the 1901 city directory, and are also recorded as living there in the 1900 Census. Joseph Grafton Smith was born in February, 1857 in Illinois, while Mary Alice Smith was born on May 23, 1865 in Indianapolis, Indiana, the daughter of Mary E. and Philip Hott3. Mary and Joseph were married in 1893, and moved to Boulder around 1897 from Beecher City, Illinois, where Joseph worked as a vegetable vendor.4 It is probable they moved to Boulder seeking a cure for the tuberculosis which claimed Joseph’s life on September 11, 1901.5 The house passed to Mary, who became a teacher and nurse.6 She lived at 2220 Bluff St. only sporadically, often renting the house to short‐term occupants including carpenters, painters, and retirees. Smith eventually sold the property to Olaf Delin in 1918, who lived here with his wife, Julia until 1919. Smith died on April 11th, 1944.7 The Delin family did not remain at 2220 Bluff St. long, selling it to John Mitchell, a miner, in 1919. John Mitchell lived at the property with his mother, Emily Osborne Mitchell, widow of James Mitchell, his younger brothers Frank and Albert, and his younger sister, Martha. Emily was the daughter of Thomas and Susan Osborne, born August 1, 1855 in Wales.8 She immigrated to the United States in 1864, and married James in 1873.9 Emily and James had many children, some of whom often lived with their mother at 2220 Bluff St. during the 1920s and 30s. These included brothers John, Albert, and Frank, all of whom worked as miners and laborers. Though he owned the house, John only lived there sporadically. Emily Mitchell died on May 11, 1937. John died on July 28, 1938 and passed the property to his brother Frank W. Mitchell and his wife, Santina Wilma Mitchell, nee Sabatini. Frank was born on December 6, 1898, in Ralston Creek, near Golden.10 Frank married his first wife Elsie R. in about 1921, though little information about her survives.11 By 1930, 3 United States Bureau of the Census, Twelfth Census of the United States.

Agenda Item 4B Page 7 the couple had had two children, Elsie E. and Frank M., Jr.12 Frank remarried in 1938 to Santina Sabatini, who was born in Alabama on July 14, 1915.13 Frank continued to work as a miner and laborer, and by 1951 was working as a jackhammer operator on a crew setting blasting charges for the construction of Denver Water Works Dam #22 (now known as Gross Dam), which created Gross Reservoir.14 A Daily Camera article in 1951 reported on a deadly accident involving the construction crew. 15 On August 24 of that year, Frank was working with a team of six others to set dynamite charges on the north side of the canyon, while a similar crew set charges on the south. At about 1:40 in the afternoon, a lightning strike caused both sets of charges, around 500 pounds of dynamite in total, to detonate. Frank and three others on his team were killed by the blast, six others were killed in the resulting rockslide into the valley below, and ten were seriously injured. It was the deadliest accident in Boulder County history to that time. Frank was survived by Santina, their three children, Barbara Ann, Betty Lou, and Warren Phillip, as well as the two children from Frank’s prior marriage to Elsie.16 Barbara (left, c. 1958) and Betty (right, c. 1960) Mitchell. Santina continued to reside at 2220 Bluff St. until 1971. In that year, she gave a share of the house to each of her children.

Warren and Betty transferred their claims on the house to Santina and Barbara in 1975. The house appears to have been vacant from 1975 until 1980, when it was being rented out. Santina Wilma Mitchell died on October 8, 2008.17 The following year, Barbara Sanger (nee Mitchell) placed the property into a revocable trust. This trust sold the property to its present owner, Julie Bragg, on July 22, 2016, ending 97 years of ownership by members of the Mitchell family. CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD’S DECISION: Section 9‐11‐23(f), B.R.C. 1981, provides that the Landmarks Board “shall consider and base its decision upon any of the following criteria: (1) The eligibility of the building for designation as an individual landmark consistent with the purposes and standards in Sections 9‐11‐1 and 9‐11‐2, 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 reasonable 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 (f)(3) and (f)(4) …, the board may not consider deterioration caused by unreasonable neglect. As detailed below, staff considers this property potentially eligible for designation as an individual landmark, however, additional time is needed to consider the information on the condition and estimated cost of restoration or repair of the building. CRITERION 1: INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK ELIGIBILITY The following is a result of staffʹs research of the property relative to the significance criteria for individual landmarks as adopted by the Landmarks Board on Sept. 17, 1975. See Attachment E: Individual Landmark Significance Criteria HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 2220 Bluff St. meets historic significance under criteria 1, 2, and 4. 1. Date of Construction: c. 1900 17 Social Security Administration, Social Security Death Index. 2014. Ancestry.com. Agenda Item 4B Page 9 Elaboration: The address first appears in the 1900 census and the 1901 city directories. The 1987 Historic Building Inventory Form estimates its date of construction as “Pre‐1900.” 2. Association with Persons or Events: The Mitchell family Elaboration: This property was purchased by John Mitchell, a miner, in 1919, and it remained in the Mitchell family until 2016. Following John’s death in 1937, it was owned by his brother, Frank until 1951. Frank was one of nine workers killed in a blasting accident during construction of Denver Water Dam No. 22 (later called Gross Dam) on August 24, 1951, one of the deadliest accidents in Boulder county history. His widow Santina and their children owned the house for the next 65 years. 3. Development of the Community: None observed 4. Recognition by Authorities: 1987 Goss Grove Survey of Historic Resources Elaboration: The historic survey for this property notes that, “Although the porch has been enclosed, this building’s basic form and style represent an early form of Boulder’s vernacular housing.” The form notes that the building would be contributing to a potential historic district. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 2220 Bluff St. meets historic significance under criteria 1. 1. Recognized Period or Style: Vernacular L‐Shaped Frame Elaboration: Despite several minor alterations including replacement of the screened porch with windows, this house retains its integrity as a good example of a turn‐of‐ the twentieth century vernacular frame dwelling, as expressed in its simple, yet well‐ crafted construction and detailing, wood verge boards and returned eaves, and L‐ shaped, cross‐gabled plan. 2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: Unknown. 3. Artistic Merit: None Observed. 4. Example of the Uncommon: None observed. 5. Indigenous Qualities: None Observed. ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 2220 Bluff St. meets environmental significance under criteria 4, and 5. Agenda Item 4B Page 10 1. Site Characteristics: None observed 2. Compatibility with Site: None observed 3. Geographic Importance: None observed. 4. Environmental Appropriateness: Residential Character. Elaboration: This house retains its vernacular residential character, and contributes to its surroundings. 5. Area Integrity: Identified Potential Whittier Historic District Elaboration: The property is located within the boundaries of the identified potential Whittier Historic District, which was noted in 1987 as retaining a high degree of historic integrity, with the northern portions of it are characterized by the vernacular frame house of primarily working class families. This house, as an example of an L‐ shaped, vernacular wood frame house built at the turn of the century, contributes to that character. CRITERION 2: RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD: The northern portions of the Whittier neighborhood are characterized by modest, vernacular houses of the working class residents who lived there throughout the early 20th century. This house is a fairly intact example of that building type, and is considered contributing to the character of the neighborhood. CRITERION 3: CONDITION OF THE BUILDING No detailed information on the condition of the building is available at this time. The exterior of the structure appears to be in good condition, save for minor deterioration of fencing and paint. CRITERION 4: PROJECTED COST OF RESTORATION OR REPAIR: No information has been submitted regarding the cost of restoration or repair. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT: Staff has received no comment to date from the public on this matter. THE BOARD’S DECISION: Agenda Item 4B Page 11 If the Landmarks Board finds that the building to be demolished does not have significance under the criteria set forth in section 9‐11‐23(f), B.R.C. 1981, the city manager shall issue a demolition permit. If the Landmarks Board finds that the building to be demolished may have significance under the criteria set forth above, the application shall be suspended for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date the permit application was accepted by the city manager as complete in order to provide the time necessary to consider alternatives to the demolition of the building. Section 9‐11‐23(h), B.R.C. 1981. A 180‐day stay period would expire on December 3, 2016. FINDINGS: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following findings: A stay of demolition for the house and accessory buildings at 2220 Bluff St. is appropriate based on the criteria set forth in Section 9‐11‐23(f), B.R.C. 1981 in that: 1. The property may be eligible for individual landmark designation based upon its historic and architectural significance; 2. The property contributes to the character of the neighborhood as an intact representative of the area’s past; 3. It has not been demonstrated to be impractical or economically unfeasible to rehabilitate the building.

The purpose of the ordinance is the preservation of the City’s permitted cultural, historic, and architectural heritage. The Landmarks Board is permitted by the ordinance to adopt rules and regulations as it 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. Historic Significance The place (building, site, area) should show character, interest or value as part of the 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 society; or exemplify the cultural, political, economic, or social heritage of the community. Date of Construction: This area of consideration places particular importance on the age of the structure. Association with Historical Persons or Events: This association could be national, state, or local. Distinction in the Development of the Community of Boulder: This is most applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structure, though in 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. Recognition by Authorities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, Inc. the Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Barker, 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 historic interest and value. Other, if applicable. Architectural Significance The place should embody those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type 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 Agenda Item 4B Page 23 development; contain elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship which represent a significant innovation; or be a fine example of the uncommon. Recognized Period/Style: It should exemplify specific elements of an architectural period/style, i.e.: Victorian, Revival styles, such as described by Historic American Building Survey Criteria, Gingerbread Age (Maass), 76 Boulder Homes (Barkar), The History of Architectural Style (Marcus/Wiffin), Architecture in San Francisco (Gebhard et al), History of Architecture (Fletcher), Architecture/Colorado, and any other published source of universal or local analysis of a style. Architect or Builder of Prominence: A good example of the work of an architect or builder who is recognized for expertise in his field nationally, state‐wide, or locally. Artistic Merit: A skillful integration of design, material, and color which is of excellent visual quality and/or demonstrates superior craftsmanship. Example of the Uncommon: Elements of architectural design, details, or craftsmanship that are representative of a significant innovation. Indigenous Qualities: A style or material that is particularly associated with the Boulder area. Other, if applicable. Environmental Significance 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. Site Characteristics: It should be of high quality in terms of planned or natural vegetation. Compatibility 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 location or singular physical characteristics, it represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community. Environmental Appropriateness: The surroundings are complementary and/or it is situated in a manner particularly suited to its function. Area Integrity: Places which provide historical, architectural, or environmental importance and continuity of an existing condition, although taken singularly or out of context might not qualify under other criteria. Agenda Item # 5D Page 1 M E M O R A N D U M September 7, 2016 TO: Landmarks Board FROM: Lesli Ellis, Comprehensive Planning Manager Debra Kalish, Senior Assistant City Attorney Marcy Cameron, Historic Preservation Planner James Hewat, Senior Historic Preservation Planner William Barnum, Historic Preservation Intern SUBJECT: Public hearing and consideration of a demolition permit application for the house located at 1723‐25 15th St., a non‐landmarked building over 50 years old, pursuant to Section 9‐11‐23 of the Boulder Revised Code (HIS2016‐00212). STATISTICS: 1. Site: 1723‐25 15th St. 2. Date of Construction: c. 1904 (Moved to site in 1935) 3. Zoning: DT‐1 4. Existing House Size: 4,314 sq. ft. 5. Lot Size: 7,390 sq. ft. 6. Owner/Applicant: Regina Suffian/Tom Jarmon STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning, Housing & Sustainability (PH&S) recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following motion: I move that the Landmarks Board issue a stay of demolition for the building located at 1723‐25 15th St., for a period not to exceed 180 days from the day the permit application was accepted by the city manager, adopting the staff memorandum with the findings listed below, in order to explore alternatives to demolition. A 180‐day stay period would expire on January 9, 2017. Should the board choose to issue the demolition permit, or if the permit is allowed to expire, staff recommends that prior to demolition the following be submitted to PH&S staff for review, approval and recording with Carnegie Library: 1. A site plan showing the location of all existing improvements on the subject property; Agenda Item 5C Page 2 2. Color medium format archival quality photographs of the interior and exterior of the house. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On June 30, 2016, the PH&S Department received a demolition permit application for the building at 1723‐25 15th St. The building is not in a designated historic district nor locally landmarked, but it is over 50 years old and the action proposed meets the definition of demolition found in Section 9‐16‐1 of the Boulder Revised Code 1981. On June 6, 2016, the Landmarks design review committee (Ldrc) referred the application to the Landmarks Board for a public hearing, finding there was “probable cause to believe that the building may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark.” PURPOSE OF THE BOARD’S REVIEW Pursuant to section 9‐11‐23(d)(2), B.R.C. 1981, demolition requests for all buildings built prior to 1940 requires review by the Landmarks design review committee (Ldrc). The Ldrc is comprised of two members of the Landmarks Board and a staff member. If, during the course of its review, the Ldrc determines that there is “probable cause to consider the property may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark,” the issuance of the permit is stayed for up to 60 days from the date a completed application was accepted and the permit is referred to the board for a public hearing. If the Landmarks Board finds that the building proposed for demolition may have significance under the criteria in subsection (f) of Section 9‐11‐23, B.R.C. 1981, the application shall be suspended for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date the permit application was accepted by the city manager as complete in order to provide the time necessary to consider alternatives to the building demolition. If imposed, a 180‐day stay period would start when the completed application was accepted by the city manager (July 13, 2016, when the Landmarks Board fee was paid) and expire on January 9, 2017. Section 9‐11‐23 (g) and (h), B.R.C. 1981. DESCRIPTION The subject property is located on the western side of 15th Street adjacent to the intersection with Grove St. and is not located within a designated or identified potential historic district. The Goss Grove potential historic district is located one block west of the house with the Boulder High School potential local and national historic district located a block to the south. The 7,390 square foot lot contains a 4,314 square foot house with the alley bordering the west property line. The building is composed of two main masses: the original house, constructed around 1904, and moved to the site in 1935, and a large, multifamily addition at the west side of the house that was constructed in 1948. Agenda Item 5C Page 3 Figure 1. Location Map showing 1723‐25 15th St. The c. 1904 portion of the house features an L‐shaped plan, gabled roof with decorative shingles in the gable ends, clapboard siding, and a front porch with Classical column supports. This portion of the building is typical of vernacular frame house construction popular in Boulder during the early years the twentieth century. Figure 2. Tax Assessor Card Photo, c. 1937. Agenda Item 5C Page 4 Figure 2. Southeast corner, 1723‐25 15th St., 2016. The northeast (front) elevation features a bay window and front porch. Both the front and side gables feature skirt roofs separating them from the wall. The front porch is accessed by concrete steps located from the driveway running along the south side of the property. These steps feature a wooden railing and rubble stacked limestone side walls, which match the rubble stacked limestone cladding of the foundation. There are two doors into the house from the porch, on the south wall and one on the east wall. The door on the east, a wooden door with a single segmented arched light, appears to be the current main entrance. The south elevation features a pair of double‐hung windows near the front corner, and a single, shorter double‐hung window near the rear. A brick wall of relatively recent vintage is located in front of the property and along the driveway somewhat obscuring the c.1904 house. Agenda Item 5C Page 5 Figure 3. Southwest corner, 1723‐25 15th St., 2016. The 1948 addition to the house connects to the post‐1931 enclosed rear porch at its north side and extends back in an L‐shaped plan. The addition uses rubble stacked stone cladding matching the original house’s foundation as cladding for the entire first story of the addition, save for a small portion at the northwest corner, which is undressed concrete. After a strip of undressed concrete trim at the water table, the upper wall and gables are clad in large shingles. On the gable ends, these are simple rectangles, but those on the second story wall feature a rippling pattern at their edges. Figure 7: Assessor’s Card Photo of 1723‐25 15th St., southwest corner. Agenda Item 5C Page 6 There are eight windows of varying sizes in the west (rear) elevation, seven hung windows and one sliding, all with blue trim. A rear entry opening from the second story is accessed via a flight of natural wood stairs featuring a black metal bar railing. The south elevation of the addition has a pair of window openings, which now hold protruding glass window gardens. Figure 4. East Elevation, 15th Street, 2016. Figure 5.

Agenda Item 5C Page 7 Alterations Figure 6: 1906 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map showing original location of the current house at 1544 Arapahoe (yellow) and older house at 1723‐25 15th St. (blue) Research indicates the house was relocated from its original location at 1544 Arapahoe Ave., on the corner of 16th and Arapahoe Ave., to make way for the construction of Boulder High School in 1935. A 1935 photo shows that today, the original portion of the house remains highly intact to this period, with siding, trim, porch columns and windows all appearing to be original and in their original locations. The two front doorways are in their original locations but appear to be replacements, with the primary (southernmost) door appearing to be the newest. Sanborn maps indicate that the house had a small, open rear porch at its original location. The 1931‐1960 map, the first to show the house at its new location, indicates this porch was extended across the entire length of the rear and enclosed. An approximately 3,000 square foot, 2‐story addition was constructed on the rear of the building in 1948, to accommodate an additional six dwelling units. A c. 1949 assessor’s photo of the addition indicates that the addition has been little changed since its construction. Condition Externally, it appears to be in good condition. The applicants have submitted a letter stating that components of the structure are near the end of their useful life, including the mechanical and electrical systems, interior structure, and exterior repair. See Attachment F: Letter from Applicant. PROPERTY HISTORY The lot at 1723‐25 15th St. was once part of prominent Boulder pioneer Marinus G. Smith’s 220 acre homestead, which he platted into individual lots and gradually sold Agenda Item 5C Page 8 throughout the late 19th century.1 He sold this particular lot to Helen C. Reynolds in 1893. The vacant lot passed through two additional owners, before coming into the possession of Sara C. Marble in 1900. The address appears in city directories in 1900, and a small house is evident on the 1909‐1918 Sanborn fire insurance maps. However, it does not appear on the 1922 or 1931 Sanborn maps of the area, indicating it was demolished between 1918 and 1922. During her ownership, Ms. Marble rented the house to a variety of short‐term occupants, including teachers, miners, and engineers. The property disappears from the city directories after 1911, yet still appears on the 1918 Sanborn map, indicating it likely stood vacant through much of the 1910s. Following its removal, the property was acquired in 1922 by Nellie Rust, a prominent Boulder real estate broker and insurance agent. She devoted much of her estate to the Nellie Rust Trust, which used the profits on her considerable landholdings to provide funding for Boulder children and youth organizations such as the Boy Scouts and the YMCA for many years after her death in 1939.2 The house at 1725 15th St. was constructed about 1904 (the date it first appears in city directories) at the southwest corner of 16th St. and Arapahoe Ave. Its first listed occupants were George William and Abbie M. Mason. George was born in Iowa in 1867, the son of George and Elizabeth Mason, emigrants from England.3 Abbie was the daughter of Ohioans Henry and Miranda Pinkham, who lived in Wisconsin when Abbie was born in 1865.4 While residing at 1544 Arapahoe, George was a partner in Renkes and Mason, a real estate, insurance, and loans firm. The Masons did not live at 1544 Arapahoe Ave. for long, and by 1905 the property had passed to June and John L. Domke. John L. Domke was a partner in Pierce & Domke, a marble and granite works located at 1777 12th St., now the location of the Boulder Municipal Building. Domke lived at 1544 Arapahoe Ave. through 1908, but had moved away by 1910, when the U.S. Census shows that Dr. Carbon Gillaspie and his wife Grace F. Gillaspie owned 1544 Arapahoe Ave. 1 Whitacre, Christine, and R.

Gillaspie was a prominent pioneer of the Boulder area, arriving in 1862 and working as long distance freight hauler across the plains.6 He was one of twenty‐four authors of the laws of the Central Mining District, which led to the creation of Jamestown, and was elected as the first president of the district.7 Around 1870, he switched to mining and prospecting, becoming the first man to find tellurium ore in Boulder County.8 Grace Fairchild Gillaspie was born on April 12, 1876 to John and Fannie Fairchild, in Illinois.9 Grace first came to Boulder around 1900, where she worked as a secretary at the State Preparatory School.10 Grace and Carbon married on July 3, 1906, in Mexico, Missouri, shortly after Carbon’s graduation from the University of Colorado Medical School in 1905.11 While they were married in Missouri, their permanent residence at that time was in Nederland, where Carbon had moved in 1904.12 He practiced medicine and operated a drug store there, and was elected Mayor of Nederland in 1908.13 After moving to Boulder in 1909 to join the medical faculty at the University of Colorado, he served on the Boulder City Council and Board of Education for six years each, and as director of the Chamber of Commerce.14 He was also President 5 Bureau of the Census, 1880. 6 First Christian Church.

Gillaspie, born June 17, 1907 while the family was living in Nederland, would gain local prominence in his own right. John, a medical doctor like his father, practiced at Boulder Medical Center and became a member of the American College of Allergists. He served in the Army medical corps during World War II, attaining the rank of Major. He was also director of the First National and Arapahoe National banks, and President of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce. He served on the Boulder City Council from 1947 to 1952 and as the 26th Mayor of Boulder from 1952 to 1956.21 The next residents of the house, while it was located at 1544 Arapahoe Ave., were Ernest M. and Mattie Ermine Greenman, also well‐known Boulder residents. Research indicates they lived at the house from about 1916 to c. 1928. Ernest was born on December 1, 1877 to Sylvester and Louise Greenman in Counters Port, Pennsylvania and had two older brothers, Elbert and Alfred A. Greenman22. Alfred A. Greenman, who arrived in 1890, served as Mayor of Boulder from 1909 to 1911.23 He also established the Greenman Stores Company, which operated a drug and stationary store at 1219 Pearl St.24 Ernest 15 Laughlin; Daily Camera, “Dr. Carbon Gillaspie Named President of County T.

Greenman came to Boulder in 1896 with his mother and sister, Vera.25 At first, Ernest worked as a surveyor on Colorado and Northwestern railway’s lines being constructed through the foothills at that time.26 In 1902‐03, he worked on the Eldora line connecting Boulder and the town of Sunset, and later worked on the crews digging the Moffat tunnel.27 When not working on the rail lines, Ernest would trek into the mountains to find work doing odd jobs on ranches.28 Around this time, Ernest met Mattie Ermin Sweeney in Boulder.29 The couple married July 22, 1903, in Colorado Springs, and lived near the Moffat railroad work sites during their first few years together.30 Mattie was born December 2, 1880, in Reserve, Kansas, to Robert E. and Caroline M. Sweeney.31 The Sweeneys moved to Colorado Springs in 1896, before coming to Boulder in 1898.32 In 1907, Alfred Greenman hired Ernest to work at his drug store at 1219 Pearl Street.33 When Alfred opened a new store at 1134 13th St., among the earliest built on the University Hill, Ernest became its manager and clerk.34 The University Store, later Greenman’s University Store, initially sold textbooks and school supplies until 1922, when the university established its own bookstore in the basement of Macky Auditorium. Greenman’s stopped selling text books in 1923, switching to a focus on its pharmacy and food section, though it had begun selling toasted sandwiches in 1912, making it the first of many such eateries on the Hill. The shop would continue to offer food until 1934, when a state law banned drug stores from selling food. Following Alfred Greenman’s death on October 2, 1939, Ernest became the sole owner of Greenman’s University Store in 1941.35 He continued operation of the store until 1945, when he sold it to W. E. Smith. Greenman continued to 25 Daily Camera, March, 1960. 26 Daily Camera, “Mr. and Mrs. Ernest M.

Image Courtesy of the Boulder Carnegie Library. The Greenmans are best remembered for their contribution to the mountain climbing and hiking community of Boulder as active members of the Rocky Mountain Climbers’ Club.39 Ernest described mountain climbing as his lifelong passion, and made the first of an extraordinary 101 ascents of the Third Flatiron on July 12, 1912.40 Before the organization of dedicated mountain rescue teams, Greenman often filled the role himself, becoming known as the “One Man Rescue Group”.41 Mattie was also an avid mountain climber, and together they guided hundreds of climbing and hiking excursions in the mountains42. Between 1914 and 1949, they led 69 trips to the Arapahoe 36 All prior information in this paragraph taken from Daily Camera, 1955. 37 Daily Camera, “Greenman’s University Store will be Sold Out and Closed.” July, 1964.

Ernest frequently planted apple, nut, and oak trees along the trails, made expeditions to repair artesian springs to supply water to hikers, and would often bring a shovel or hoe with him when hiking, so that he could repair the trails as he went.44 As late as 1959, just a year before his death at the age of 82 on March 4, 1960, Ernest could be seen hiking the foothills alone, shovel in hand.45 Mattie Greenman died a year later on April 13, 1961.46 The Rocky Mountain Climber’s Club placed a plaque at the summit of the Third Flatiron honoring Ernest “Dad” Greenman following his death in 1960, a 1998 replacement of which can be seen there today.47 Greenman is also commemorated by the E. M. Greenman Trail in the Boulder Mountain Parks. From about 1928 to about 1932, this was the house was occupied by Jennie A. and John E. Merriam, and in 1935 the house was relocated to make way for the construction of Boulder High School, which required the removal of all buildings on the 1500 block of Arapahoe. 1723‐25 15th Street Location Royal P. Shockey, who had rented the lot at 1723‐25 15th St. from Nellie Rust in 1926 and purchased it in 1929, was evidently living in a small dwelling visible at the rear of the property on the 1922 and 1931 Sanborn Maps. He appears to have arranged for the relocation of the current house to his property, and took up residence therein afterwards. Royal P. Shockey was born in Boulder County on the 4th of July, 1886, the son of Grant and Lydia Shockey.48 Frieda A. Shockey was born to German immigrants Charles and Barbara Wilshusen of Lincoln, Nebraska, on November 6, 1893.49 She married Royal in 1914 in Denver, and the couple would go on to have two sons.50 43 Daily Camera, “Ernest Greenman was Hike Leader to the Glacier for Many Years.” August 18, 1953.

Agenda Item 5C Page 14 Royal and Frieda Shockey were the operators of Grove Wet Wash Laundry, located at 1719 15th St., next door to 1723 15th St. This stone building survives with minor alterations, and was noted to be potentially historically and architecturally significant when inventoried during the 1986 Goss Grove Survey.51 Frieda died on November 19, 1946.52 The following year, Royal sold the house at 1723‐25 15th to Elam J. and Earea Ann Crook. Royal later moved to a farm east of Boulder, and remarried in 1951 to Mary E. Bishop, nee Schofield, daughter of a Boulder pioneer family.53 Royal Shockey died on November 17, 1968.54 Elam J. Crook mined tungsten near Nederland before World War II.55 After the war, he became a builder.56 Elam constructed the six ‐unit addition onto the house in 1948, and thereafter rented them out while he and Earea resided in the original house.57 The Crooks owned the house until 1954, when they sold it to Forrest D. and Alberta G. Allen. The Allens were never listed as residing at the house, and apparently rented out the entire complex to various short term residents. The next owner‐occupants were Eugenia A. and Gene B. Noon. They purchased the property in 1963, when Gene was assigned as manager of the then new Walgreens Drug Store in the Crossroads Shopping Center at 28th St. and Arapahoe Ave.58 He had previously been manager of a Walgreens located in Denver.59 The Noons, like the Crooks, lived in the original house while renting out the additional six units. The Noons owned the property until 1968, when they sold it to William J. Lofland, Jr. He was listed as the owner in the city directories but not as a resident. Instead, Bernice Lofland, widow of William (presumably William senior, the owner’s father) is the listed resident. It thus appears that William Jr. maintained the property to house his mother and to rent out the addition’s units, while not living there himself. Lofland sold the property to Jerold Monroe Suffian in 1973. Suffian did not appear as a resident in the city directories through the 1970s, and all seven units were offered for rent. In 1988, the property was deeded to Regina Suffian, the present owner. CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD’S DECISION: Section 9‐11‐23(f), B.R.C. 1981, provides that the Landmarks Board “shall consider and base its decision upon any of the following criteria: 51 Witacre, Christine, & R. Laurie Simmons, “1985/1986 Boulder Survey of Historic Places.” City of Boulder, August, 1986. 52 Daily Camera, 1946. 53 Daily Camera, “Obituaries: Mary E. Shockey.” November 30, 1975.

Agenda Item 5C Page 15 (1) The eligibility of the building for designation as an individual landmark consistent with the purposes and standards in Sections 9‐11‐1 and 9‐11‐2, 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 reasonable 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 (f)(3) and (f)(4) …, the board may not consider deterioration caused by unreasonable neglect. As detailed below, staff considers this property potentially eligible for designation as an individual landmark; however, additional time is needed to consider the information on the condition and estimated cost of restoration or repair of the building. CRITERION 1: INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK ELIGIBILITY The following is a result of staffʹs research of the property relative to the significance criteria for individual landmarks as adopted by the Landmarks Board on Sept. 17, 1975. See Attachment E: Individual Landmark Significance Criteria HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 1723‐25 15th St. meets historic significance under criteria 1 and 2. 1. Date of Construction: c. 1908 / Relocated 1935 / Remodeled 1948 Elaboration: The 1908 date of original construction at 1544 Arapahoe Ave., the 1935 relocation to its current location, and the 1948 addition are over the 50‐year criteria for historic significance. 2. Association with Persons or Events: Carbon, Grace, and John Gillaspie; Ernest M. and Mattie Greenman. Elaboration: Carbon Gillaspie was a prominent local physician and Mayor of Nederland for two terms, and his son, John D. Gillaspie, who lived here as a child, was Mayor of Boulder from 1952 to 1956. The Gillaspies lived in this house from c. 1910 to c. 1916. Ernest M. Greenman was the manager of Greenman’s University Store from its establishment in 1911 to 1945, an early University Hill business and longtime favorite Agenda Item 5C Page 16 of University of Colorado students. He remained associated with this business after selling it, working as clerk and cashier until 1955. He and his wife Mattie were also prominent in the development of Boulder’s mountain trails and its climbing community. Together they led hundreds of hiking and climbing expeditions, always free of charge, to the Flatirons, the Arapahoe peaks, and other locations. Ernest also devoted much of his time to personally maintaining the trails. He is the namesake of the E. M. Greenman trail. The Greenmans lived in this house from c. 1916 to c. 1928. 3. Development of the Community: None Observed 4. Recognition by Authorities: 1994 and 1986 Surveys Elaboration: The 1994 Survey of Historic Places found the house to be representative of early 20th century vernacular frame dwellings due to its relatively intact massing and details, while the 1986 survey found it to be significant as one of the few residences constructed along 15th Street, historically a primarily commercial district. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 1723‐25 15th St. meets historic significance under criteria 1, 3 and 5. 1. Recognized Period or Style: Elaboration: The original portion of this house is an excellent example of a turn‐of‐ the‐century vernacular frame dwelling and retains a high degree of historic integrity. The rear 1948 addition is an interesting adaptive use of the property to provide housing during the post‐WWII population boom in Boulder. 2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: Unknown (original structure), Elam J. Crook (1948 Addition) 3. Artistic Merit: This house features simple, but well‐crafted wood and masonry construction and detailing, including a stone clad foundation, shingled gables, and carved wood classical columns. 4. Example of the Uncommon: None Observed 5. Indigenous Qualities: The foundations of both the house and its addition feature rubble stacked, local sandstone cladding. ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 1723‐25 15th St. meets environmental significance under criteria 5. Agenda Item 5C Page 17 1. Site Characteristics: None observed. 2. Compatibility with Site: None observed. 3. Geographic Importance: None Observed. 4. Environmental Appropriateness: None Observed. Elaboration: Commercial infill around this house has left it as a residential remnant in a high‐density commercial area. 5. Area Integrity: Proximity to 1719 15th Street. Elaboration: This house was likely relocated here by Royal P. Shockey, owner of the Grove Wet Wash Laundry that once occupied the historically significant commercial building next door at 1719 15th Street. The intact relationship of these two buildings enhances the character of both. CRITERION 2: RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD: This house reflects the character of the Goss Grove neighborhood, which is typified by simple, vernacular frame dwellings. The west side of 15th Street has long been a mixed area of commercial, residential, and industrial uses at a diverse array of scales, and the presence of this surviving single‐family dwelling and addition contribute to this historic, eclectic character. CRITERION 3: CONDITION OF THE BUILDING In an August 24, 2016 letter to city staff, the applicant, Tom Jarmon of ESA Architecture and Planning, noted that the heating and electrical systems of the house will require replacement in the near future, that some portions of the interior structure are in need of renovation, and that the exterior is in need of repair. See Attachment E: Letter from Applicant) CRITERION 4: PROJECTED COST OF RESTORATION OR REPAIR: In the same letter, Jarmon gave an approximant estimate of a $175,000 to $200,000 cost for repair and replacement. See Attachment F: Letter from Applicant. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT: Staff has received no comment to date from the public on this matter. Agenda Item 5C Page 18 THE BOARD’S DECISION: If the Landmarks Board finds that the building to be demolished does not have significance under the criteria set forth in section 9‐11‐23(f), B.R.C. 1981, the city manager shall issue a demolition permit. If the Landmarks Board finds that the building to be demolished may have significance under the criteria set forth above, the application shall be suspended for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date the permit application was accepted by the city manager as complete in order to provide the time necessary to consider alternatives to the demolition of the building. Section 9‐11‐23(h), B.R.C. 1981. A 180‐day stay period would expire on January 9, 2017. FINDINGS: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following findings: A stay of demolition for the house and accessory buildings at 1723‐25 15th St. is appropriate based on the criteria set forth in Section 9‐11‐23(f), B.R.C. 1981 in that: 1. The property may be eligible for individual landmark designation based upon its historic and architectural significance; 2. The property contributes to the character of the neighborhood as an intact representative of the area’s past; 3. It has not been demonstrated to be impractical or economically unfeasible to rehabilitate the building.

Agenda Item 5C Page 35 Attachment E: Significance Criteria for Individual Landmarks SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA Individual Landmark September 1975 On September 6, 1975, the City Council adopted Ordinance #4000 providing procedures for the designation of Landmarks and Historic Districts in the City of Boulder. The purpose of the ordinance is the preservation of the City’s permitted cultural, historic, and architectural heritage. The Landmarks Board is permitted by the ordinance to adopt rules and regulations as it 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. Historic Significance The place (building, site, area) should show character, interest or value as part of the 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 society; or exemplify the cultural, political, economic, or social heritage of the community. Date of Construction: This area of consideration places particular importance on the age of the structure. Association with Historical Persons or Events: This association could be national, state, or local. Distinction in the Development of the Community of Boulder: This is most applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structure, though in 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. Recognition by Authorities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, Inc. the Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Barker, 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 historic interest and value. Other, if applicable. Architectural Significance The place should embody those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type 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 Agenda Item 5C Page 36 development; contain elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship which represent a significant innovation; or be a fine example of the uncommon. Recognized Period/Style: It should exemplify specific elements of an architectural period/style, i.e.: Victorian, Revival styles, such as described by Historic American Building Survey Criteria, Gingerbread Age (Maass), 76 Boulder Homes (Barkar), The History of Architectural Style (Marcus/Wiffin), Architecture in San Francisco (Gebhard et al), History of Architecture (Fletcher), Architecture/Colorado, and any other published source of universal or local analysis of a style. Architect or Builder of Prominence: A good example of the work of an architect or builder who is recognized for expertise in his field nationally, state‐wide, or locally. Artistic Merit: A skillful integration of design, material, and color which is of excellent visual quality and/or demonstrates superior craftsmanship. Example of the Uncommon: Elements of architectural design, details, or craftsmanship that are representative of a significant innovation. Indigenous Qualities: A style or material that is particularly associated with the Boulder area. Other, if applicable. Environmental Significance 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. Site Characteristics: It should be of high quality in terms of planned or natural vegetation. Compatibility 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 location or singular physical characteristics, it represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community.

Box 791 | Boulder, CO 80306 BoulderHistoricPreservation.net RE: 1723‐25 15th St. September 7, 2016 Landmarks Board Hearing Dear Marcy, The following is information we would like to have included in the Landmarks Board packet for the September 7, 2016 meeting regarding 1723‐25 15th St. We feel strongly that this structure does not have a special character and historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value. This structure has been moved from its’ original site previously and placed on a concrete foundation when relocated so it does not have the original stacked stone foundation of its’ period. The structure was placed on the present site back away from 15th St. There is a driveway/parking between the structure and 15th St. and with the existing 2 story addition to the rear of the property this structure is really out of context with the surrounding area. Homeless people continue to use the rear space of the structure as a latrine despite deterrence efforts by the owners. The 15th St. location of this structure is not in a Historic District and the 15th St. context and exterior character is in an evolving area of new, higher structures of mixed use retail/commercial and residential in very close proximity to downtown Boulder. The property owners have tried to maintain the structure over the years, but components of the structure are near the end of their useful life. The heating system needs replacement soon. The electrical system needs replacement soon. Interior portions of the structure need renovation. The exterior needs repair. We estimate these repair/replacement costs for the structure to be approximately $175,000 to $200,000 which is significant related to the overall value of the structure. The owners would like to proceed with a new building containing commercial/retail on the lower level with residential units on the upper levels. This new building is planned to include brick veneer exterior facing 15th St. This new building will complement the surrounding newer buildings in this area and will add to the vitality of this evolving area. Sincerely, TOM JARMON ESA ARCHITECTURE . PLANNING 1919 7TH STREET, BOULDER CO 80302 303.442.5458 www.esapc.com DATE: September 7th, 2016 TO: Landmarks Board FROM: James Hewat, Marcy Cameron SUBJECT: Update Memo Historic Resource Survey Plan Update at meeting. Civic Area Glen Huntington Band Shell: The Civic Area webpage has been updated to provide current information on the historic resources in the Civic Area. The Band Shell Update (May 2016) provides an update to the Band Shell. Update at Meeting. Atrium Building/Public Market The Public Market team has periodically been out at the Wednesday evening or Saturday morning Boulder Farmers’ Markets to hear from the community about what they think “Boulder’s version” of a public market could look like. Initial input gives community members the opportunity to share some of their experiences at other community markets, and to react to draft vision statements and draft goals. All the feedback will culminate in a Public Market workshop with David O’Neil (leading market hall expert) where public input will help the city refine the Public Market vision, goals, proposed program and phasing that will be presented to City Council for direction in November. Discussion is ongoing in considering whether the Atrium Building might be used as a Market Hall on a temporary or permanent basis. Historic Boulder has agreed to continue keeping the March 2015 application to landmark the Atrium on hold as exploration of these options continues. University Hill Commercial District – National Register Nomination On Dec. 8, the City Council reviewed the University Hill Reinvestment Strategy Update (click for memo). As part of the strategy, the city is pursing National Register designation for the commercial district. Staff is in the process of hiring Front Range Research Consultants to undertake the work with view to a May 2017 review of a National Register of Historic Places by the State Review Board.
