STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 1 of 41
Staff recommends the Landmarks Board forward the application to the City Council with a recommendation to
designate the property as an individual landmark to be known as the Beard–Stoyva House. If designated, it would be
Boulder’s 223rd individual landmark.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
The Landmarks Board recommends to the City Council that it designate the property at 1004 Lincoln Pl. as a local
historic landmark, to be known as the Beard–Stoyva 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 July 1,
2026, as the findings of the board.
BACKGROUND
On April 6, 2026, P&DS accepted an application to designate the house as an individual local landmark. A hearing
must be scheduled between 60 and 120 days (between June 5 and July 15, 2026).
PROPERTY LOCATION
The property at 1004 Lincoln Pl. is located on the northeast corner of Lincoln Place and Euclid Avenue in the
University Hill neighborhood. The house faces west onto Lincoln Place and the rear abuts an unnamed alley. The
property is located within the identified potential University Hill Historic District, which was identified in 1992 as a
potentially eligible National Register Historic District with a period of significance from 1892 to 1942.1 The house at
1004 Lincoln Pl. was identified as a contributing feature of the proposed district in the 2001 resurvey of the
property.2

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION & CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES
Figure 3. Southwest corner of the house from the corner of Lincoln Place and Euclid Avenue showing street-facing façade with
brick, stucco and half-timbering, gabled roofs, and porch. Staff photograph. 9th Street Euclid Avenue 10th Street Lincoln Place Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 3 of 41
The building at 1004 Lincoln Pl. was surveyed in 1990 and 2001 and found to be eligible for the National Register
based on its architecture as an “exceptionally good example of Craftsman-style architecture in Boulder. The house
also has Tudor Revival influences, seen in the stucco and half-timbering which cover the entire second story. The
building also features a bay window, an oriel window, and several multi-pane windows. Craftsman-style homes were
popular in Colorado in the early part of the twentieth century. Although many Bungalow/Craftsman-style homes can
be found in Boulder’s University Hill neighborhood, this building is one of the largest and best examples.”3
The building is a two-and-one-half-story house constructed in 1908 in the Craftsman-style with clear Tudor Revival
influences. The building has a front-gable roof with large side gables, flared bargeboard, exposed rafters and
overhanging eaves. The roof is asphalt shingle with masonry chimneys. An L-gable porch spans the width of the
façade. The building is masonry and frame construction, with red brick at the first floor and stucco and half-timbering
at the upper floors, including in the gable ends. A prominent wood belly band separates the masonry and stucco
portions of the house. The half-timbering includes curved and artistic detailing and incorporates brackets. The upper
windows are integrated into the half-timbering pattern. The lower-level windows include stone sills. The building
rests on a stone foundation.

thefront porch with half timbering and stucco in the gable end, and masonry porch wall. Staff photographs.
The west elevation, facing Lincoln Place, features a front-gable roof with stucco and half-timbering at the second
level and in the gable end. A central bay (oriel window) projects minimally from the main wall at the gable end above
a curved belly band. The oriel window is underscored by decorative brackets. This oriel includes a trio of stucco
panels with detailing in the inside corners of the timbers, giving the appearance of circular stucco panels. A trio of
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 4 of 41
openings are located above these panels. The left opening has been converted to a louvered vent while the other
two are six-lite windows.
At the main level, there is a full-width L-gable porch. The porch roof is supported by pairs of square columns atop a
red brick wall with red brick square columns flanking the concrete steps. The brick porch wall is topped with
matching cream sandstone along the length of the porch. The north (left side) third of the porch is under the timber-
frame and stucco gable end of the L. The interior of the porch at this end includes wood decking and ceiling, and
cream sandstone lintel above the entry door and step below. The newer entry door is flanked by divided-lite
sidelights. The middle third of the porch features a bay window that includes pigeonhole corner brickwork4 and
vertically oriented six-over-one-lite double-hung windows on each of the three sides. The south (right side) third of
the porch is enclosed and includes two vertically oriented eight-over-one-lite double-hung windows, wood paneling
and a secondary entrance door. There is an additional vertically oriented six-over-one-lite double-hung window
between the bay window and enclosed part of the porch.
Figure 5. South elevation (facing Euclid Avenue) showing the gable end of the porch roof at the west end, bow window with
gable dormer above and frame addition at the rear. Staff photographs.
The upper levels of the south elevation include stucco and half-timbering with a variety of vertically oriented double-
hung windows integrated into the half-timbering pattern. There is a large gabled wall dormer above a bay window,
offset from the center toward the east. The dormer includes stucco and half-timbering in the gable end, including a
curved belly band at the bottom of the pediment, and a pair of six-over-one-lite windows. The bay window below
includes pigeonhole corner brickwork and windows at each of the three sides.
The lower level features stucco and half-timbered gable end of the front porch at the west (left) side and includes a
trio of vertically oriented eight-over-one-lite double-hung windows above the stone sill of the porch wall. The red
brick porch wall continues at this elevation.
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 5 of 41
The east (right) side includes a second-story porch with four single-lite square windows above stucco panels. The
south elevation of the one-story frame addition at the rear of the house projects from this elevation and includes a
pair of vertically oriented eight-over-on- lite double-hung windows. The frame addition is clad in horizontal wood lap
siding.

the northeast corner looking west toward the front of the house. Staff photographs.
The east (rear) elevation of the house includes stucco and half-timbering at the second level and in the gable end
with a variety of vertically oriented double-hung windows arranged within the half-timbering pattern using the
timbers as window frames. In the gable end, there are two nine-lite divided-lite windows. Below the pediment belly
band, there are a trio of single lite square windows on the left (south) side. At the center, there is a single square
window, and to the right (north side) there is a vertically oriented six-over-one-lite double-hung window.
At the lower level, the gable roof form of frame projection is visible on the left (south) side. The frame projection
includes a pair of vertically oriented double-hung windows. The frame addition is clad in horizontal wood lap siding
and has an asphalt single roof.
On the right (north) side, there is a wood deck.

The north (side) elevation includes a gable wall dormer above an oriel window, offset from the center toward the
east. The dormer includes stucco and half-timbering in the gable end. The gable end and the east end of the house is
obscured by vegetation. Toward the front of the house on the upper level, there are two vertically oriented six-over-
one-lite double-hung windows.
The oriel window below the wall dormer includes a shed roof just above the bellyband that separates the masonry
and stucco portions of the house. The oriel window projects minimally from the brick portion of the house and
includes a pair of vertically oriented five-over-one-lite double-hung windows. The oriel window includes stucco
panels on the shallow sides and is underscored by decorative brackets.
Toward the rear (east) of the house, there is a steeply angled shed roof with large support backets above an entry
door.

the northeast corner looking west toward the front of the house. Staff photograph.
The accessory building at 1004 Lincoln Pl. was “contributing” to the site in a re-evaluation of the property in October
2001.”5
An accessory building is located at the northeast corner of the property and was likely constructed at the same time
as the house (1906-1908). The building is a one-and-one-half-story red brick building with a gable roof with
overhanging eaves and purlins visible in the soffits. It has a wall dormer on the east elevation. The accessory building
reflects the general Craftsman-style with simple trim and includes moderate Tudor Revival influences including
stucco and half-timbering in the gable ends.

Figure 9. Left: Southwest corner showing the façade with garage entry doors and a portion of the west elevation. Right: South
elevation showing the pair of garage doors with stepped header above. Staff photographs.
The south elevation (façade) features a front gable roof with stucco and half-timbering in the gable end. There is a
single six-lite divided-lite window in the center of the gable end, arranged within the pattern of the half-timbering.
The window includes a projecting wood sill.
Three thick bellybands below the pediment comprise the header for a pair of overhead operation single car garage
doors. The doors are painted wood and include a traditional star pattern.
The west elevation, facing the interior of the lot, is obscured from view, but appears to include tool storage on the
exterior wall and a single window with brick sill toward the northwest corner.

The rear (north elevation) of the accessory building features stucco and half-timbering in the gable end. There is a
single-lite window in the center of the gable end, arranged within the voids of the half-timbering. The window
includes a projecting wood sill. In the masonry below, there is a square, four-lite divided-lite window with brick sill
and arched header offset toward the west (right) side of the building.
Integrity
A property may be eligible for landmark designation if it meets the criteria outlined in the Significance Criteria for
Individual Landmarks (link). However, the building must also retain physical features that allow it to convey that
significance. The National Park Service provides standards 6 in the “aspects of integrity” that can be used to define
whether a building retains enough integrity to convey appropriate historical associations or attributes.
While the building has seen changes over the last century, the exterior retains a high degree of historic integrity to its
1908 construction. Based on historic photographs, the south end of the front porch was enclosed sometime before
1929.7 The modification retains the original porch framing, including the paired porch supports, the porch wall, and
the roof including the half-timbering in the gable end. A one-story frame addition was constructed at the rear of the
house in 1949. A deck, also at the rear, was added circa 1984.

The house is in its original location and much of the setting remains with mature trees on the site, including fruit
trees. The design—the form, plan, space, structure, and style—of the original structure is the generally same. The
modifications to infill the south end of the front porch to create an enclosed space (c.1929), the addition of the
framed rear porch (c.1949) and the addition of a rear deck (c.1984), have been completed with sensitivity to the
house. Most of the original materials remain, including the brick, decorative half-timbering in the gable ends,
brackets, and the wood windows. The original workmanship of the building is apparent, and the historic character of
the building conveys the feeling and association with the building’s early history.
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 11 of 41
Character-defining features include the two-and-one-half story front-gabled form with asymmetrical massing;
exterior texturing through the use of the combination of red brick and stucco, together with ornamental half-
timbering; the full width front porch with stucco and half-timbering in the gable end and paired porch columns on a
brick porch wall; the non-symmetrical window openings with stone sills and arched brick headers; windows arranged
within the pattern of the half-timbering using the timbers as window frames; the oriel windows; and the front door
with stone lintel. The windows with divided lights in the upper sash and a single light in the lower sash.
AREA HISTORY
This area is the ancestral homelands and unceded territory of Indigenous Peoples who have traversed, lived in and
stewarded lands in the Boulder Valley since time immemorial. The 1851 Treaty of Horse Creek defined the extended
Great Plains, including the Boulder Valley, as belonging to the tribes. However, when gold was discovered in the
mountains nearby, sixty men signed an agreement that organized the Boulder City Town Company and preemptively
claimed 1,280 acres alongside Boulder Creek. By the summer of 1859, thousands of gold seekers were in the Boulder
area, unlawfully occupying Indigenous lands.13 In 1861, the Federal Government negotiated a new treaty with the
tribes, one that the tribal representatives contest. The Treaty of Fort Wise took more than fifty million acres of Tribal
land and legally restricted the First Peoples to an area in southeastern Colorado. The Boulder men could now own
the preempted land, and the “public” lands surrounding Boulder, under laws of the United States.
In 1871, a town government was organized under Boulder County regulations and included the original townsite and
additions to the east, south and west.14 The original Trustees chose the site of the University of Colorado “on the hill
south of Boulder Creek, [where] it commanded an excellent view of the town to the north. At the same time, because
of the steepness of the north side of the hill facing the creek, expansion of the city’s boundaries in that direction
would not likely take place for many years.”15
By 1887, Anthony and Mary Arnett owned nearly 200 acres south of College Avenue (from Sixth Street to Broadway).
As plans for the University solidified, the Arnetts saw the future potential of the area and partnered with the Denver
and Boulder Land & Investment Co. to plat the area in 1890. They gradually sold lots to individuals as development
investments.16 Only a few lots were developed during the 1890s, but that changed with the arrival of the Texas–
Colorado Chautauqua and the construction of a streetcar line in 1898. The streets were renamed with the
development of the streetcar, which created Lincoln Place. The streetcar route ran down Ninth Street from
Chautauqua Park at Baseline Road, along College Avenue, back up 14th Street, along Aurora Avenue back to
Chautauqua Park on 10th Street. The streetcar connected to downtown and beyond along Broadway.
The rail connection between Fort Worth and Colorado was a key factor in the formation of the Texas–Colorado
Chautauqua in Boulder. As the Colorado Chautauqua National Historic Landmark Nomination notes:
The involvement of the Colorado and Southern Railroad in organizing and promoting this new institution was
typical of the Chautauqua Movement, and in the development of new recreational activities in the late
nineteenth century. Mining freight was declining, and tourism was booming; Boulder was thirty lucrative rail
miles from Denver. By 1900, two daily trains from Denver brought visitors to Boulder’s assembly grounds;
and daily trains ran from the northern plains and from mining towns to the west. … A special train came from
Ft. Worth for the opening day, July 4, 1898. Teachers were offered their fare, board, lodging, lectures,
entertainment, and tuition for 6 weeks for $75.00.17
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 12 of 41
The Denver and Boulder Land & Investment Co. placed a restriction on the lots they held that “all dwellings shall be
built of brick, or brick and stone combined” in 1902, likely to maintain exclusiveness of the neighborhood as brick and
stone buildings were more expensive.18 About one fourth of all lots in the University Place neighborhood were
developed between the arrival of the Colorado Chautauqua and the streetcar and 1910.
In 1902, Clara B. Holmes purchased five empty lots on the northeast corner of Lincoln Place and Euclid Avenue and
sold them to Julia D. Beard four years later without developing the lots.

Park. The location of the five lots purchased by Julia Beard are indicated at the corner of Lincoln Place and Euclide Avenue.19
PROPERTY HISTORY
The property at 1004 Lincoln Pl. has had many stewards over the last 118 years. Notably, the house was constructed
during the early development of the neighborhood as the streetcar and popularity of the Texas-Colorado Chautauqua
made the area highly desirable. Additionally, Boulder’s climate made the location advantageous for people suffering
from tuberculosis. The original owners, Julia and James Beard, lived in the house for a dozen years. The house then
saw a number of different owners and renters until it was purchased by the Morgan–Bemis family. They lived in the
house, renting out portions, for the next 25 years. Current owners, the Stoyva family, purchased the house in 1971
and have been stewards for 55 years. Detail of each owner and notable renters follow:
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 13 of 41
Julia Mary Dodge Beard and James Bradley Beard (1906 – 1920)
The rail connection between Fort Worth and Colorado was a key factor in the formation of the Texas–Colorado
Chautauqua, and also in the development of the neighborhood. Julia and James Beard, who had gained enormous
wealth through the railroad industry, commissioned the house. They were attracted to Boulder because of the easy
rail connections to their family in Texas and they hoped that Boulder’s mountain air would be a healthy location for
their son, Edwin, who suffered from tuberculosis. After purchasing the corner lots in August 1906, they remained in
Fort Worth for about 18 months while the house was built.20 Although Edwin died in 1908 shortly after the move,
Julia and James remained in Boulder.
Julia was born Julia Mary Dodge in Tapleyville, Massachusetts on Jan. 14, 1843.21 Her family moved from
Massachusetts to Council Bluffs, Iowa around 1857, where her father, Sylvanus was registrar of the local Land
Office.22 Julia’s brother, Grenville M. Dodge, was involved in building the railroad system from Council Bluffs.
James Bradley Beard was born on April 30, 1842 in Danbury, Connecticut.23 James’s parents were farmers and James
continued to claim to be a farmer throughout his life.24 However, by the mid-1860s, he had moved to Iowa and
became involved in the railroad industry with Grenville Dodge. Julia and James met through this connection and
married on Sept. 29, 1868 in Council Bluffs. By 1880, the family employed a servant, Emma Cook, who assisted Julia
with caring for their two children (Edwin, born in 1870 and Grenville Mellen, born 1872) and managing a household
with two boarders.25
Julia’s brother, Grenville M. Dodge, organized the Texas and Colorado Railway Improvement Company in 1881. He
received $20,000 in stock and $20,000 in bonds for each mile of track laid. Dodge began construction just north of
Fort Worth on November 27, 1881, and reached the Texas state line, about 200 miles away in 1888. Service between
Fort Worth and Denver began on April 1, 1888.26 James and Julia’s older child, Edwin, moved to Fort Worth, Texas
around 1896 to work as an agent for his uncle.27 James and Julia followed shortly after, with James working as a “real
estate owner.”28
Julia purchased the property for $1,300 in 1906. The deed included the requirement regarding the character of the
buildings.29 The family remained in Fort Worth while the house was built. They moved to Boulder in 1908.
Julia and James owned at least one car, a five passenger Dodge sedan, which they housed in the accessory building at
the rear of the house.30 They sold the car in 1919, shortly before selling the house and moving to Hollywood,
California.31 In July 1920, the Boulder Daily Camera noted:
Mr. P. H. [Paul Hubert] Hume of Indianola, Neb. a farmer, land and grain dealer, has purchased the beautiful
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Beard, 1004 Lincoln Place, and will take possession August 1st [1919]. Thus
another fine family is located in Boulder. The property was sold thru the agency of S. D. Clark. Mr. and Mrs.
Beard will go east on a visit of two months with relatives in the New England states. They will return by the
way of Texas where their children reside and where they have land Interests. Mr. and Mrs. Beard expect to
locate this fall to Hollywood. Calif. to the regret of Boulder friends.32
Julia died in 1924 in California.33 James died at the home of their younger son, Grenville, in Memphis, Texas in 1926.34
Paul Hubert Hume and Susan “Susie” Elizabeth Colling Hume (1920 – 1922)
For families not impacted by the Influenza Pandemic (1918 – 1920), this post-war period likely seemed relatively
tranquil. Paul and Susie Hume borrowed $2,000 from James Ballard to purchase the house in 1920. The Hume family
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 14 of 41
was one of many health-seekers who came to Boulder. They moved to try to ease Paul’s tuberculosis.35 The family
advertised rooms for rent soon after purchasing the house, and employed a servant, Dora Robinson, to assist in
running the household.36
Paul Hubert Hume was born on February 11, 1872 in Illinois.37 His family moved to Indianola, Nebraska in 1882 to
farm.38 Susie was born Susan Elizabeth Colling in April 1881 in Nebraska. The couple met and married in Nebraska
around 1913. Paul, Susie and their three children, Robert (born 1915), Ralph (born 1917) and Donald (born 1918),
lived in the house.39 Paul ran the H. and H. Cigar store at 1328 Pearl St. with William “Willie” Lee Moseley and later a
grocery store at 1920 Mapleton Ave.40
The Humes reassigned the $2000 loan they took out for the purchase of the home to Wilson and Mayme Kinder as
part of the house sale in 1922.41 After selling the house, Paul, Susie and their children moved to 1003 Spruce St.
Various Owners and Residents (1922 – 1937)
During this turbulent time in the history of the United States, the house was occupied by many owners and renters.
Many of the families living here defaulted on loans, with the deed to the house passing back to the loan originator or
being sold to others. The dominance of education and health services, and lack of manufacturing industries, buffered
Boulder in the early years of the Great Depression (1929 – 1939). Still, many families struggled to make ends meet
and either moved to reduce the size of their homes, or shared homes with other families. Rooms in the house were
advertised during this period as “with or without kitchen privileges,” as the families often shared facilities. The front
porch was enclosed during this period as a way to increase the living space in the house.
Wilson Kinder purchased the property for $100 from Paul and Susie Hume in April 1922. He sold it just two months
after moving in, including “all of the furniture, furnishings, stoves and equipment now in said premises,” to Eunice
and Herbert Clark but continued to reside with the new owners. Wilson and his wife Mayme shared the house with
others including the Clarks and the Kellenbergers from 1922 to 1926.42 Mayme likely provided meals as well as
teaching art from the house.43
After Eunice Clark purchased the house, she and husband Herbert lived in 1004 Lincoln Pl. for about a year. They then
sold the property 44 to Sawyer D. Clark 45 in January 1923, who incorporated it into the portfolio for The Boulder
Apartment Co.46 Although the company advertised rooms for rent “with or without kitchen privileges” the building
was not a successful venture. The Boulder Apartment Co. sold the house alongside 625 Maxwell Ave. to William
Kellenberger by August for $100.47
William and Effie Kellenberger 48 lived at 625 Maxwell Ave. but relocated to 1004 Lincoln Pl. for a short time in late
1924 and early 1925 while their Maxwell house was undergoing repairs. After Eunice and Herbert Clark moved out in
1923, the Kellenbergers continued to rent part of the house to Wilson and Mayme Kinder but also rented rooms to
others. Their renters included teachers attending or teaching summer school at in University of Colorado–Boulder.49
Varnum and Laveta Tefft 50 agreed to purchase the house from William Kellenberger in September 1925.51 Varnum
was a piano teacher who held classes and recitals in the house.
Laveta died unexpectedly in December 1928.52 A few months later, Varnum stopped making payments for the house.
Eunice Clark “extended the promissory note” in March 1929 and William and Effie Kellenberger moved back into the
house.53 The Kellenbergers lived in the house until 1932 54 when James Ballard made a successful claim on the
ownership of the house based on unpaid loans.

James Ballard 56 took ownership of the property in September 1932, likely renting it out.57 He sold it to father and son
Raymond “Maxwell” Burger and Charles Burger in July 1936.58 The Burgers had borrowed money to purchase and
remodel the house but failed to repay the loan.59 In October 1937, Kay Losh Bradshaw took over the repayment of
the $2,500 loan in exchange for the deed to the house.
Kathryn “Kay” Losh Bradshaw Gardner and Robert Seth Gardner; Julia B. Wilson and Alvin
Chalmers Wilson (1937 – 1946)
Kay Losh Bradshaw was an artist who moved to Boulder in 1937 after being widowed. She lived there until she sold it
in 1946. During the war years (1939-1945), Boulder experienced a housing shortage and many houses were
converted to multi-family use as the economy struggled. However, Kay appears to have had only one long-term
renter, who moved into the house before the start of the Second World War and stayed until 1943.
Kay was born Kathryn Losh on December 17, 1886 in Illinois.60 Her parents, Philip Joshua Losh and Lura McCausland
married in Illinois in January 1877. 61 They moved their seven children including Kay to Olathe, Kansas around 1903,
where Phillip worked as a Teamster.62 After graduating high school, Kay studied art in Kansas City, Missouri. She
married John “Johnnie” O. Bradshaw in 1906 in Olathe, Kansas and they had three children, John (born 1912),
Bernice (born 1916), and Nadine (born 1919).63 Johnnie was born in February 1887. He worked as a salesperson at a
furniture store.64 Johnnie died in 1937, and Kay moved to Boulder shortly after, where she taught watercolor and oil
painting.
In 1941, Kay married Robert Seth Gardner, a retired government railroad inspector.65 Robert Gardner lived at 1011
10th St. just across the alley from 1004 Lincoln Pl. with his first wife Lottie.66 Lottie died in April 1940.67 Robert was
born on March 9, 1872 in Cleveland, Ohio. According to the Daily Camera:
During his active work career, Gardner was a machinist apprentice in his father’s [nut and bolt] factory in
Cleveland; an electrical engineer on one of Cleveland’s draw bridges; a locomotive fireman on the New York
Central railroad, later being promoted to engineer; and after passing a civil service examination he was
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 16 of 41
appointed railroad inspector for the Interstate Commerce Commission. In all, he spent a total of 43 years in
railroad work.68
Julia Wilson, Kay’s long-term renter, lived in part of the house with her children, Ruth and Alvin beginning in 1936.
Ruth left in 1938 after she married; Julia and Alvin stayed until about 1943.
Julia was born Julia Bunyan on February 8, 1881 in Ballston Spa, New York.69 She moved to Colorado with her family
when she was 11 years old. Her parents, Ellen and Thomas Bunyan settled in Berthoud where they established the
Berthoud National Bank.70 Julia graduated from Boulder Preparatory School in 1899 and the University of Colorado–
Boulder in 1903 with a degree in Philosophy.71 She worked as a bookkeeper at the Berthoud National Bank until she
married the Rev. Charles Wilson on July 31, 1912.72 The couple moved to Chanute, Kansas and Casper, Wyoming
where Rev. Wilson was a Presbyterian minister. He died in 1934. Julia moved to Boulder so her children could attend
Boulder schools.
Alvin was born on September 24, 1925 in Casper, Wyoming.73 Alvin attended Boulder High School and began a
semester at the University of Colorado–Boulder. On turning 18, he volunteered for the army. According to his
obituary:
[Alvin] served in the 273rd Field Artillery Battalion, Patton’s 3rd Army, as a corporal, radio operator, and
sharpshooter. His battles and campaigns included Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, Central
Europe, and the Battle of the Bulge. Among his decorations are 5 Battle Stars, American Service Medal,
European African Middle Eastern Service Medals, Good Conduct Medal and WWII Victory Medal.
Julia moved out of the house during Alvin’s service and lived at 866 13th St. She died on Oct. 15, 1945.74 Alvin
returned to Boulder and graduated from the University of Colorado–Boulder with a degree in electrical engineering.
He worked at the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder (now NIST) until his retirement in 1976.
Kay Bradshaw Gardner sold the house to William and Villa Morgan in January 1946.75 Kay and Robert moved to Palo
Alto, California where Kay continued to teach oil, watercolor and China painting. According to her obituary, her
paintings were exhibited in several cities but may be lost to obscurity.76

Leonard Bemis and David “Hampton” Ross (1946 – 1971)
As the economy struggled to recover after the Second World War, many houses were converted to multiple family
units. The Morgan family completed a remodel in 1948 to create three self-contained apartments with kitchens: one
in the basement, one on the first floor, and a third on the second floor. They constructed the ground level rear
addition at the same time. They purchased the house to share with their daughter, Mildred and her husband Albert,
with an additional unit to provide rental income. Mildred lived in the house until 1971.
Villa was born Arvilla Wilbarger around 1875 in Pomeroy, Ohio.78 Her parents, George and Laura Willbarger were
born in Ohio. George worked as a coal miner in Minersville in Meigs County, Ohio.79
William was born in Minersville, Ohio on April 25, 1873. His parents, William, Sr. and Margaret, both emigrated from
Wales in 1872 with their three eldest children.80 William, Sr. was a coal miner in Llangunider, Wales and brought his
trade to Ohio. William was the first of the children to be born in the United States. He learned the trade from his
father and worked as a coal miner in Ohio.
The couple married on May 25, 1898 in Meigs County, Ohio.81 They moved to Colorado around 1910, first living in
Louisville.82 William was the foreman of the Crackerjack Mine in Marshall. The family moved to Boulder with their
children, Harry (born 1899), Mildred (born 1902), Evelyn (born 1904) and Gwennell (born 1906) around 1918.83
According to the Boulder Daily Camera:
[William] was one of the organizers and president of the Black Diamond Fuel Co. which had a very productive
mine in South Boulder. When it played out he was associated with the development of a new mine near
Lafayette, which was also named Black Diamond. He and his original associates sold their interests in the new
mine a number of years ago.84
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 18 of 41
During the 1930s, the Black Diamond Mine Co. had an office at 1240 Walnut St. William retired a few years before
they purchased the house and volunteered for the Rationing Board during the Second World War. Villa died April 6,
1950 and William on August 3, 1956. The bequest allowed Mildred to continue living in the house, and for her to rent
out the two other apartments, for as long as she chose, although she could not sell the house.
Figure 20. William photographed with Lions Club members at the Black Diamond Mine, 1934.85
Mildred was born in Ohio on Dec. 17, 1902.86 She attended Boulder schools while the family lived in Louisville and
graduated from the University of Colorado–Boulder, Alpha Delta Pi, in 1927.87 On graduation, she found work as a
teacher, and taught in Boulder’s public schools from 1828 until her marriage in 1933.88
Albert was born in Hutton, Nebraska on April 27, 1887.89 Albert worked for the United States Railway Mail Services
between Omaha and Denver before moving to Boulder in 1921.90 Mildred and Albert married on Oct. 14, 1933.91 As a
married woman, Mildred was not allowed to teach. That changed when the school Board, faced with teacher
shortages because of the Second World War, amended the policy in 1942.92 Mildred was hired at Valley Road School
shortly after and taught there throughout the war years.93 In 1946 she worked as a clerk at the Printed Page
bookshop.
Albert was a writer. According to his obituary:
Stories by [Albert] have appeared in the Coronet, in the Railway Magazine and other publications. For many
years he was a steady contributor to the Christian Science Monitor. His “Window in the West,” which
appeared regularly in the Monitor for a year or more, gave much prominence to the little known beauties
and to the history of Colorado.94
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 19 of 41
Albert died in 1948. After his death, Mildred was employed at the University of Colorado–Boulder as a librarian, a
role she stayed in until her retirement. She also continued to host renters in the house, including Clara Whitman who
rented the downstairs apartment from 1950 through 1958.
D. Hampton Ross appears in the City Directory in 1959, residing at 1004 Lincoln Pl.95 Hampton was born on July 21,
1898 in Bangor, County Down, Ireland.96 He arrived in the United States on Oct. 21, 1958 in New York with the final
destination of 1004 Lincoln Pl. and a student visa. Hampton and Mildred married on November 4.97
The couple lived in the house until 1971, when they moved into the newly built Horizon West condominium building
(1850 Folsom St.). As specified in William and Villa’s wills, the bank sold the house and distributed the funds to
William and Villa’s heirs.98 Mildred died on Dec. 2, 1988.99

Johann Martin and Jane Alice Bliss Stoyva; Valerie Bliss Stoyva Yavuz and Johanna Reed Stoyva
(1971 – current)
Boulder continued to be an attractive location for health-seekers during the 1960s and 1970s, but in these decades
the health trends were more connected to “wellness” and radical changes in healthcare, especially in mental health
care. Once again experiencing a period of huge population growth, multi-family housing was also common, and many
of Boulder’s large houses were converted to apartments (both formally and informally). The City of Boulder began to
regulate the number of “families” residing in individual houses. When Johann and Jane Stoya purchased the house in
1971, it had recently been inspected and confirmed it was “non-conforming” with three units. As health care
professionals and academics, both Johann and Jane kept home offices, and used the basement apartment as a rental
unit.
Johann Stoyva was born around 1931 in Nordfjord, Norway. He emigrated with his parents, Johann and Selma, and
sibling to Canada in 1934. Johann attended the University of British Columbia and the University of Sydney in
Australia. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago studying dreams and psychology in 1961.101 Jane was born
February 28th, 1930, in New York. Her father, Col. Arthur Wilcox Bliss was an officer in the United States Army, and
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 20 of 41
her mother, Norma Gleason Bliss, was a nurse. They relocated to Honolulu, Hawai‘i in 1935 102 and remained there
throughout the Second World War.103 Jane studied cultural anthropology at the University of Alabama, graduating
with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees.104 She subsequently earned a master’s degree in social work from the
University of Chicago.
Johann and Jane met in Chicago and married on September 6, 1961 in Birmingham, Alabama.105 They moved to
Boulder in 1965, where Jane ran the Wardenburg Student Health Center at the University of Colorado–Boulder,
working first as a psychotherapist and later as the director of clinical social work. Johann quickly became one of the
foremost researcher into biofeedback, “doing groundbreaking research in what was called ‘alternative medicine.’”106
He studied sleep and stress-related disease at the University Medical Center (now Health Sciences Anschutz) in
Denver, and oversaw the science of biofeedback becoming recognized in healthcare. According to Johann’s obituary:
[Johann] and Jane, after stops in Halifax, Nova Scotia and San Francisco, moved to Boulder, Colorado, in
1965. Their first Boulder home, with daughters Johanna and Valerie, was a cottage in Chautauqua Park on
Bluebell Road … In retirement, [Johann] was devoted to his book groups, tennis, friends and professional
organizations. He researched and wrote about the rise of the scientific method. He planted a veritable forest
on his city property. …107
In 2000, Jane (along with Rose Crowley) organized the University Hill Neighborhood Association (UHNA) “to maintain
the Hill as a good place to live for a diversity of groups.”
Jane died in September 2014. On Johann’s death in April 2025, the couple bequeathed the house to children, and
current owners, Valeria and Johanna.

PURPOSE AND CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD’S DECISION
Section 9-11-5(c), Public Hearing Before the Landmarks Board, B.R.C. 1981, specifies that in their review of an
application for local landmark designation, the landmarks board shall determine whether the proposed designation
conforms with the purposes and standards in Section 9-11-1, Purpose and Legislative Intent, and Section 9-11-2, City
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 21 of 41
Council May Designate or Amend Landmarks and Historic Districts. The Significance Criteria for Individual Landmarks
(link) was adopted by the Landmarks Board on Sept. 17, 1975.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The following is a result of staff’s research of the property relative to the Significance Criteria for Individual
Landmarks (link).
HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Summary: The property located at 1004 Lincoln Pl. meets the following historic significance criteria.
1. Date of Construction: 1906-1908
Elaboration: Boulder County records list the year of construction of 1908. The house was commissioned by the
Beard family in 1906. They moved into the house in 1908.
2. Association with Persons or Events: The property at 1004 Lincoln Pl. has had a number of stewards over the last
118 years. The longest (and current) owners, the Stoyva family, purchased the house in 1971. Jane Bliss Stoyva
worked as a psychotherapist at the Wardenburg Student Health Center at the University of Colorado–Boulder
from 1965 until her retirement in 2000. She also organized the University Hill Neighborhood Association (UHNA).
Johann Stoyva studied sleep, biofeedback and stress-related disease at the University Medical Center (now
Health Sciences Anschutz) in Denver. He wrote many books and scientific papers on his research.
3. Distinction in the Development of the Community: Texas-Colorado Chautauqua, development of rail
connections, promotion of Boulder to health-seekers, multi-family housing.
Elaboration: The rail connection between Fort Worth and Colorado was a key factor in the development of the
Texas-Colorado Chautauqua, and also the neighborhood. About one fourth of all lots in the University Place
neighborhood were developed between the arrival of the Colorado Chautauqua and the streetcar and 1910.
Original owners, Julia and James Beard, were attracted to Boulder because of the easy rail connections to their
family in Texas but also as a location promoted to ease tuberculosis. Subsequent owners also came to Boulder
seeking better health. Boulder continued to be an attractive location for health-seekers during the 1960s and
1970s, but in these decades the health trends were more connected to “wellness” and radical changes in
healthcare, especially in mental health care. During the Great Depression (1929 – 1939), this was one of many
houses in Boulder to be converted to multi-family use. It was maintained as multifamily through the Second
World War, into the 1970s, and continues today.
4. Recognition by Authorities: Front Range Research Associates, Inc.
Elaboration: The 1990 Survey 109 considered the house eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic
Places based on the high artistic values and significant as “an exceptionally good example of Craftsman-style
architecture in Boulder. The house also has Tudor Revival influences, seen in the stucco and half-timbering which
cover the entire second story. The building also features a bay window, an oriel window, and several multi-pane
windows. Craftsman-style homes were popular in Colorado in the early part of the twentieth century. Although
many Bungalow/Craftsman-style homes can be found in Boulder’s University Hill neighborhood, this building is
one of the largest and best examples.”
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Summary: The buildings at 1004 Lincoln Pl. meet the following architectural significance criteria.
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 22 of 41
1. Recognized Period or Style: Craftsman with Tudor Revival influences
Elaboration: The building is an exceptionally good example of Craftsman-style architecture which emerged
from the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century and stressed comfort and utility through the
use of natural materials and a lack of pretension.110 Character-defining features include the two-and-one-
half story front gabled form with asymmetrical massing. Exterior texturing through the use of the
combination of red brick and stucco, together with ornamental half-timbering. The full width front porch
with stucco and half-timbering in the gable end and paired porch columns on a brick porch wall. The non-
symmetrical window openings with stone sills and arched brick headers; windows arranged within the
pattern of the half-timbering using the timbers as window frames; the oriel windows; and the front door with
stone lintel. The windows with divided lights in the upper sash and a single light in the lower sash. Many
Craftsman houses display a small amount of false half-timbering, however this house includes the character-
defining features of a Tudor Revival style, including ornamental half-timbering covering the upper story, a
steeply pitched roof and asymmetrical massing.111 Common to both styles, the exterior texturing through the
use of brick, stucco and half-timbering gives the building a picturesque composition.
2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: Not known
Elaboration: Although neither the architect nor builder are currently known, Julia and James Beard
commissioned the house.
3. Artistic Merit: Ornamental half-timbering and the oriel windows
Elaboration: 1990 Survey 112 considered the house to be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of
Historic Places based on the high artistic values. The high artistic values are seen in the building overall, but
specific details include the ornamental half-timbering with windows arranged within the voids of the half-
timbering using the timbers as window frames and the oriel windows.
4. Example of the Uncommon: While many Craftsman-style and Tudor Revival homes can be found in Boulder’s
University Hill neighborhood, this building is one of the largest and best examples.113
5. Indigenous Qualities: The stone foundation and brick is likely locally sourced.
ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Summary: The property located at 1004 Lincoln Pl. meets the following environmental significance criteria.
1. Site Characteristics: The house is set on multiple lots and is surrounded by mature and newer vegetation
including apple trees. Many of the trees on site were planted by Johann Stoyva circa 1971-2024 to replace
older trees that had reached the end of their lifespan.
2. Compatibility with Site: The massing and scale of the house and the property’s mature vegetation is
compatible with its residential setting.
3. Geographic Importance: While the primary façade faces west toward Lincoln Place, the design includes
prominent features on the south elevation that create a secondary façade facing Euclid Avenue. The
orientation and prominence of the house creates a familiar visual landmark within the neighborhood.
4. Environmental Appropriateness: None observed.
5. Area Integrity: The property is located in the identified potential University Hill historic district.
Item 5A - 1004 Lincoln Place Landmarks Board Memo 07.01.2026 Page 23 of 41
Elaboration: An intensive survey of the University Hill neighborhood in 1992 identified the boundaries of a
potential historic district. This district was potentially eligible for the National Register (period of significance
from 1892 to 1942). The proposed district was noted to be “associated with significant people, many of
whom were affiliated with the University of Colorado, and includes many high style homes designed by
known architects as well as residences representative of particular architectural styles and methods of
construction. In addition, the proposed district is significant for its association with the historic development
of Boulder, as reflected in such aspects as its streetcar system, the university campus, boarding houses and
the houses of fraternities and sororities, and University Hill school and business district.”
LANDMARK NAME
Staff recommends the property be known as the Beard–Stoyva House to recognize the property’s first owners, Julia
and James Beard, and prominent long-term residents, Johann and Jane Stoyva, and the Stoyva family’s stewardship
of the property for the last 55 years. This is consistent with the Landmark Board’s Guidelines for Names of
Landmarked Structures and Sites (1988) and the National Register of Historic Places Guidelines for Designation. See
Guidelines for Names of Landmarked Structures and Sites (link).
LANDMARK BOUNDARY
Staff recommend that the boundary be established to follow the property lines of the lot, consistent with current and
past practices and the National Register Guidelines for establishing landmark boundaries. This boundary is supported
by the property owner.

PROPOSED PLAQUE LANGUAGE 1
Beard–Stoyva House
1906-1908
Julia and James Beard commissioned this house, adding many Tudor-Revival features with a Craftsman-style twist.
The ornamental half-timbering and oriel window in the center of the façade make it a striking University Hill
landmark. The Stoyva family stewarded the house since 1971.
Designated a City of Boulder Landmark in 2026
FINDINGS
The Landmarks Board finds, based upon the application and evidence presented, that the proposed designation
application is consistent with the purposes and standards of the Historic Preservation Ordinance, in that:
1. The designation of the property at 1004 Lincoln Pl. will protect, enhance, and perpetuate a property
reminiscent of a past era of history and preserve an important example of Boulder’s historic architecture.
2. The proposed designation will maintain an appropriate setting and environment for the building, and
enhance property values, stabilize the neighborhood, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster
knowledge of the city’s living heritage.
NEXT STEPS
Within 45 days of the hearing date, the Landmarks Board must adopt specific written findings and conclusions
approving, approving with modifications, or disapproving the application. Should the board disapprove the
application, the board must notify the City Council of that action within 30 days of the hearing date. City Council may
call up a decision disapproving a designation. Should an application be disapproved, the same application 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, B.R.C. 1981, it shall adopt
specific findings and conclusions approving or modifying and approving the application. If the board approves the
proposed designation, the application will be forwarded to the City Council for review in a public hearing no more
than 100 days from the Landmark Board’s decision recommending designation.

Nomination of 1004 Lincoln Place as an Individual Historic Landmark
I nominate my home, 1004 Lincoln Place, Boulder, as an individual historic landmark. This
house, built in 1908, has belonged to my family since 1971. In 1996, we received notification
from the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board that our home is considered eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places.
As of 2025, both my father, Johann Stoyva, and mother, Jane Bliss Stoyva, have passed away.
This seems like an appropriate time to follow the 1996 recommendation to apply for local
landmark designation. Our house is apparently considered one of the largest and best examples
of Bungalow/Craftsman style in the Hill neighborhood. It also has Tudor revival influences in
stucco and half-timbering (according to the 1996 documents) on the second floor. It is said to
have “high artistic values.”
Additionally, if 1004 Lincoln Place attained landmark status, it might confer stability to a small
part of the ever-changing University Hill neighborhood.
Finally, tax credits would help with the considerable upkeep for this beautiful home, and to
maintain it for Boulder’s historical record.

General Upkeep of Your Historic Property
x The Landmarks Board cannot require the owner of a designated landmark or a property in a historic
district to make improvements to the building or its site. However, the Historic Preservation
Ordinance does allow the board to require maintenance so that the landmark or district is not
neglected. Keeping your home well-maintained will ensure its preservation for years to come and
contribute to the special character of Boulder’s historic neighborhoods.
