The above referenced property gill be considered for National Register listing at the next Colorado Historic Preservation Review Board meeting on November 14, 2008. 't'he 1877 Arnett-Pullen House is being nominated for its importance as an excellent example of Victorian-era architecture, i~corporatuig elements of the Gothic Revival, Carpenter Gothic, Second 1?mpire, and Italianate styles. The C;othic Revival is represented by steeply pitched roofs, cross gables, and brick walls. The "gingerbread" bargeboards and elaborate scrolled and carved woodwork on the porches and gables characterize l~:arpenter Gothic. The mansard tower, the dominant feature of the house, and the iron roof cresting arc indicative of the Second Empire style. 't'ypical of the Second Empire style, the house centers around its r,rnatnental tower. Decorative brackets, narrow segmental arch windows and doors, and the canted bay window }x~int to the Italianate influence. A masterful execution of Late Victorian architectural exuberance, the house was r me of the early works of George I'.. I<ing, a prominent architect in the late 1800s, well known in Boulder and 1_.eadville. At the time of construction, many considered the building to be the most architecturally beautiful house ii the town of Boulder, and today it retains a high level of architectural integrity. ~1s a Certified Local Government, you have the opportunity to participate. in this action.

It does not delegate to CLGs the sole authority to nominate properties directly to the Re iq_ster. The following procedures make clear the shared role of CLGs and the SHPO in the nomination process: 1. Nominations of Colorado properties to the National Register of Historic Places shall be made directly to the SHPO. Nominations may be made by any parties, including CLGs. 2. Upon receipt of an adequately documented nomination of a property within the jurisdiction of a CLG, the SHPO shall notify the owner, the chief elected official, and the local Historic Preservation Commission of the proposed nomination and shall transmit the nomination to the commission for comment. 3. The commission, after reasonable opportunity for public comment, shall prepare a report as to whether or not such property, in its opinion, meets the criteria of the National Register. 4. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of the nomination from the SHPO, the chief elected official shall transmit the report of the commission and his or her recommendation to the SHPO. The report should concentrate on the property's eligibility under the National Register criteria of eligibility. a. In the event that the Historic Preservation Commission and the chief elected official agree that the proposed nomination meets the criteria for fisting the property in the National Register, the SHPO will transmit the proposed nomination and the CLG's comments to the Colorado Historic Preservation Review Board for consideration. The Review Board is an independent advisory board appointed by the Governor and SHPO that evaluates and recommends sites for nomination to the National Register. b. In the event the Historic Preservation Commission and the chief elected official disagree that the proposed nomination meets the criteria for listing in the National Register, both opinions shall be forwarded to the SHPO, who will transmit the proposed nomination and the CLG's comments to the Review Board for consideration. c. In the event the Historic Preservation Commission and the chief local elected official agree that the proposed nomination does not meet the criteria for listing in the National Register, the CLG shall inform the owner of the property and the applicant of its recommendation and shall inform them that within thirty (30) days an appeal of the recommendation may be made by letter directly to the SHPO. The Historic Preservation Commission shall forward the CLG's recommendations and the nomination to the SHPO, who will take no further action unless within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such recommendations by the SHPO, an appeal is filed by any person with the SHPO. )f such an appeal is filed, the SHPO shat! transmit the nomination and CLG's recommendations to the Review Board for consideration. 5. If no report is received by the SHPO from the chief elected official within the allotted sixty (60) days, the state shall make the nomination pursuant to section 101 (a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended. Failure of the CLG to submit reports on proposed nominations within its jurisdiction will be considered by the SHPO in its review of the CLG. CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES PROCESS Page 2 6. Appeals of the SHPO's decisions may be made directly to the Keeper of the National Register in accordance with federal regulations (36CFR60). 7. For proposed nominations of historic districts to the National Register of Historic Places, the CLG shall assist the SHPO in: a. Assisting the preparer of the form in verifying the names and addresses of the owners of properties within the proposed districts, if necessary. b. Providing for public information meetings at times and places agreeable to the SHPO and CLG. 8. The SHPO will notify the CLG, the owner, and the applicant when a property within the CLG's jurisdiction is listed in the National Register. 9. The Historic Preservation Commission shall be responsible for providing oversight and monitoring of historic properties and historic districts listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The commission is responsible to recommend in writing to the SHPO removal from the National Register of any property or district which has lost its integrity because of the demolition or alteration of structures.

The house sits on the easternmost lot and is surrounded on the north, west, and south sides by lawn. Landscape features include large deciduous trees, historic fruit trees, historic lilac and snowball bushes, and restored Victorian flower beds around the property. Two of the original ten cottonwoods dating from the 1870s still stand on the north side of the sidewalk. The 1877 Late Victorian house is bound on the north side by Pearl Street. The original carved limestone carriage step still sits across the flagstone sidewalk in front of the property. The carriage step is popular with passers by and reminds one of the early modes of transportation used when the house was constructed. On the east side, by 7"' Street, is a locally landmarked residential building that housed a freight business and the Racket Meat Market during the early mining days in Boulder. Bordering the property on the north and most of the east side is the original cast iron fence, whose base consists of cut limestone. The fence is fairly low, extremely ornate, and sharply contrasts utilitarian fences of the time. The fence was restored through a grant from the Colorado Historical Society's State Historical Fund in 1995. The fence has gates on the north and east sides. There is one outbuilding at the south edge of the property that formerly served as a tack house and outhouse. The building was constructed at the same time as the house, displaying brick walls and a steeply pitched side gabled roof covered with asphalt shingles. Another outbuilding to the west of the tack house is no longer extant. House The exterior walls of the house are painted yellow brick. The utility room addition to the south, however, is of wood construction, having been constructed in the early twentieth century. The house rests on an above-ground foundation system. The foundation is original and constructed of stone with some brick under the porches, with the exception of the concrete foundation under the utility room. The main floor includes porches on the north, south, and east sides, a pantry on the west, utility room on the south, bathroom on the east, and bay window on the north. The house was known as "the house of seven doors" for its large number of porches and exterior doors. The porches include intricate scrollwork, balustrades, and dentils, and ornate railings and columns with decorative brackets that complement the Carpenter Gothic scrollwork on the bargeboards. The second story has four small rooms, each with steeply sloped ceilings and a single round arch window. All rooms are organized around the narrow central staircase. The building is essentially as constructed in 1877. The one addition consists of a small utility room to the south (rear) of the house. The only other modification of the exterior was to the west porch, which was converted to a pantry circa 1916 but retains the original columns, brackets, and dentiled frieze. Exterior North Facade The north facade is dominated by the 35-foot-tall Second Empire style mansard tower. The square tower room has two seven foot high round arch windows with radiating voussoirs. The double hung l C; tdcS F. ~~-n i0 ~ia13 ~.'1~, a~r;~j QP,13 N0 'CZa.CC~B National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 7 Page 2 Boulder County/ Colorado windows have plain white moldings and sills. The mansard tower caps a dentiled cornice, decorative frieze panels, and ornate brackets at the corners. The mansard tower has four large circular vents centered on each side of the roof. They are topped with decorative metal cresting. The tower roof is covered with multicolored slate in a hexagonal pattern, carefully restored in 2007 to match the original colors and shapes. Colors and slate type were determined from slate fragments found in the garden, as well as broken tiles in the crawl space. Shapes were determined from careful examination of historic photographs. Original iron cresting and a small widow's walk crown the tower roof. Gilded horses at each corner of the tower were replaced in 2008. A brick chimney abuts the rear of the tower. At ground level is the primary entrance, located at the base of the tower. The entrance has two perpendicular doors, one on the north and one on the west, with segmental arches and transoms. The two doors are designed to accentuate the symmetry of the building when viewing the house from the northwest corner of the property. The entry porch extends west of the tower. The hipped roof porch is presently shingled in asphalt, replacing the original grey slate tiles similar to those on the tower. The porch is open and Z-shaped in plan. It is supported by turned wood posts with decorative spindle-like wood brackets and a sawtooth porch frieze (see photos 4 & 5). A decorative wood balustrade approximately two feet high encloses the porch. Here again, the intricate scrollwork accentuates the Carpenter Gothic theme of the house. East of the entry a bay window projects from the facade. It consists of three narrow double hung segmental arch windows with radiating voussoirs, typical of the Italianate style. The decorative dentiled frieze and scrolled brackets on the bay window are similar to that of the tower. The roof of the bay window, originally exposed metal, is now covered with asphalt shingles. The bay window sits at the base of a steeply pitched front gable. A single round arch window is centrally placed above the bay window in the gable face. Elaborately detailed Carpenter Gothic bargeboards frame the gable face. In addition to the mansard tower, these bargeboards are the most notable feature of the house, earning it the nickname "Gingerbread House" in various articles and an historical novel set in the house. A brick chimney protrudes through the ridgeline just behind the front gable peak. East of the bay window a small hipped roof porch provides a separate entrance to Willamette Arnett's office (see photo 16). The posts here are quite ornate and different from the entry porch. A glazed wood door is framed by a segmental arch and transom. The frieze, posts, and railings are quite decorative in nature. Wood planks make up the porch floor. East Side The east side contains a porch that is similar to the porch on the north, but is smaller and rectangular in plan. The balustrade, however, displays a decorative pattern different from that of the front porch. The porch supports are capped by decorative wooden brackets, also different from the brackets on the front porch and more Carpenter Gothic in style. The porch's half hipped roof, covered with asphalt shingles, extends northward and wraps around the bathroom projection. The porch rests on a brick foundation. On the first floor level there is a segmental arch window. Directly north of the window is an entrance with a segmental arched transom. The door is wood framed, painted white, and protected by a screen door which is specifically cut to maintain the worn shape of the porch step. Just north of the walkway a small hipped projection, tucked under the south end of the gable, houses NPS f-o•m 1 C-900a (P.ev. 8186) OA4B No. 10240018 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number I Page 3 Boulder County/ Colorado the bathroom and contains a segmental arch window. Further north along the east wall is a front gabled section containing a segmental arch window. Centered directly above this window on the second floor is a round arch window. The gable is trimmed with the same scrolled bargeboards as the fagade. The private entrance to Arnett's office can be seen at the north end. South (Rear) Side The south side is similar to the north and east sides. The utility room addition joins the house on the west side (see photo 7). The hipped roof addition has slightly overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails. Three wood framed windows are centrally placed on the south wall of the utility room; each window contains four panes of glass. A door on the east side of the utility room provides access inside. East of the entrance, on the south wall of the main house, is a segmental arch window. As on the other sides of the house, the gables have decorative scrolled bargeboard and a centrally placed round arch window sits in the gable face, above the addition. The south chimney projects from the ridgeline, just behind the gable peak. Achieving this effect required building the chimney around the round arch window just below the gable, clearly visible from the inside of the house. West Side The west side is composed of two gables, each having a different pitch and containing single round arch windows in the gable faces (see photo 6). Between the two gables is a small flat roof covered with rubber roofing. On the flat roof plane there is a small gabled projection with a glazed door that leads to the second-story hallway. The gables display the same decorative scrolled bargeboard as the rest of the house. Placed between the gables and directly below the small flat roof section on the first story is the pantry, a former open porch that was enclosed circa 1916 with horizontal wood siding and a 4/4 double hung window. The pantry's half hipped roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The original turned porch supports, decorative scrolled brackets, and sawtooth cornice remain intact. The decorative brackets, frieze and posts are similar to those used on the front porch. Two segmental arch windows to the north of the pantry/former porch provide light to the bedroom while one segmental arch window to the south of the pantry lights the kitchen. At the southern end of the west side is the utility room addition where a single four pane window is placed towards the roof cave. On the upper story level is a smaller round arch window in the gable face. The chimney projects upward from the gable, its north side abutting the mansard tower. This also required building the chimney around the round arch window as on the south side. Interior The interior of the house is composed of two floors. The walls and ceilings of both floors have moldings around the doors and the base of the walls. The first floor has ornamental moldings as well as 11-foot high ceilings. All doors are wood and some have transo?ns above with windows. All interior doors have ceramic door knobs and many still have the plated nickel roses and keyholes. Original flooring material is wood. On the first floor, the entryway, parlor, and bedroom floors are original pine planks. In the parlor the original pine is covered with carpet. The other flooring on the lower level is wood from a somewhat later date exhibiting burn marks from a wood or coal stove. Upstairs all of the original pine flooring is intact. During restoration it was observed that much of the pine flooring had been bare originally and later covered with carpet, but never painted. . . . . ~ ~ . ~ OMB No. 1C?4-0018 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 7 Page 4 Boulder County/ Colorado Firsf-floor-level front hallway The front hallway has an arched entryway under the tower with decorative sculpted plaster ornaments and moldings. A small 52-inch by 52-inch space with 11-foot high ceilings opens under the tower. A cast-iron hook used to hang oil lamps is fixed to the center of the arch leading into the entryway. This somewhat larger room is also heavily ornamented with plaster moldings. The most striking feature of the entry is the narrow curving stairwell with ablack-walnut and burl wood banister. On the edge of the stairs is a decorative plaster molding that follows the base of the banister. The pattern of this molding matches the gingerbread bargeboard on the exterior gables. A small hallway parallels the stairway at its base and leads to the dining room, helping to separate Arnett's private office from the rest of the house. Parlor The parlor is dominated by the bay window. There is an arched opening leading to the bay window framed by decorative plaster sculpted moldings similar to that in the front entry way. This arch also has a cast-iron hook in the center to hang an oil lamp. The plaster ceiling displays plaster moldings at the edges and a second molding inset from the walls by approximately one foot. An antique crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The parlor also has an original ornate cast iron fireplace with faux- marble painting and a stone hearth. The room has doors into the front entryway and a door added later leading into the office. Office The office has painted plaster walls, plaster moldings, and wood door moldings. The office has five doors: the front entryway, parlor, north side entrance, bathroom, and dining room. Dining room The dominant feature in the dining room is the burl wood and black walnut paneling. The dining room also has five doors: to the office, front hall, a closet under the stairs, and the kitchen. The south wall has abuilt-in china cabinet and the remains of a chimney for a wood stove. Bathroom The bathroom is entered from the office. It has headboard wainscoting and a large antique free- standing tub. This bathroom is believed to be the first indoor bathroom in a private residence in Boulder. It even featured hot and cold running water at a time when that was only found in larger more expensive buildings. Although mentioned in the Boulder County News in 1877 while the house was under construction, the bathroom appears to have been somewhat of an afterthought, and may not have been envisioned by the architect. Rather, it may have been added to the design by Willamette Arnett himself. Kitchen The kitchen is separated into a scullery and a larger kitchen and maid's room. A large arch has been cut between the two. The remains of an old doorway between the two areas as well as the original door into the dining room are bricked up but can still be seen today (see photo 25). The floor of the scullery is sloped to allow waste to be easily swept out to the pantry, originally the west exterior porch. The original 12-foot ceiling in the scullery has been restored and traces of the early attic fire that nearly burned the house down can still be seen there. There is an entry to the dining room with a transom, one to the utility room, one to the pantry with a segmental arch transom and exterior-style door, and a smaller entry added to the bedroom after the , ! . v NPS Form ' 0-SCOa (frev. srN6} 0~i8 No. 102.•0018 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 7 Page 5 Boulder County/ Colorado original construction. Bedroom The bedroom has plaster walls and ceilings with plaster moldings. The room also has a convex curved wall on the north side that gives the room a unique elegance and openness. An original chimney exists as well. The bedroom has two entrances: one on the south to the scullery and one with a transom on the east side that leads into the entryway. Second-floor bedrooms There are three upstairs bedrooms built off of the landing at the top of the stairwell. Two more rooms stand in the back of the house accessible via a small and cramped entrance just behind the stairwell. One of these back rooms has been converted into a small bathroom and storage room. All of the rooms on the second floor are small, have steeply pitched ceilings and round arch windows. The northwest bedroom has an entry to the second level of the tower. Clearly evident is the fashion in which the chimney was built around the window just under the gable to maintain the vertical alignment of the chimney, gable, and window. A similar construction technique is evident around the southeast window on the second floor.

It was originally constructed to hold tack for the horses and serve as an outhouse. A concrete sidewalk from the rear entry of the house leads to the easternmost door. A concrete parking area to the east of the building extends right up to the east wall. The 1 %2 story, side gabled tack house has brick walls and asphalt shingles; it is relatively narrow from north to south and its roof is steeply pitched. Three non-original diagonal wood doors are located on its north side; the westernmost door is slightly elevated and accessed by a wood step. A transom surmounts each door. There are two louvered openings, one on each side of the easternmost door. The east wall contains two louvered openings, one on the first story, the other in the gable face. There is also an iron ring set into the brick to tie up a horse. The south wall borders the alley and has a pair of small pass-through openings to the east, a louvered opening, and a second iron ring for horses. There is also evidence of a bricked in doorway to the west, or outhouse, side. The west wall displays two louvered openings, one on the first story, the other in the gable face. The building is currently used for storage. < ~ ~ t~ ~ v Lyn 1: X•~'y U ~ ~ J ~ ~.I ~ ti.Y ~~3 r ~ S ,t ,~,~j ~ c - y.. r 'T" ti v a~~ _ yl > i t - - ..l : - - x}?~ , ~ ~ '.G'a r~• _ a•" ~ "'~'~.r . -I(/w`a ~ U .Vi'R form 1(}-500ti (~irv. H~dG) UUBNo. X024-CO'8 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 8 Page 7 Boulder County/ Colorado SIGNIFICANCE The 1877 Arnett-Fullen House is eligible for the National Register under Criterion C in the area of Architecture as an excellent example of the Mixed Style, incorporating elements of the Gothic Revival, Carpenter Gothic, Second Empire, and Italianate styles. While taking details from various styles is not unusual, the use of elements from four distinct styles is atypical. In looking at the house, the Gothic Revival is represented by steeply pitched roofs, cross gables, and brick walls. The "gingerbread" bargeboards and elaborate scrolled and carved woodwork on the porches and gables are character- istic of Carpenter Gothic. The mansard tower, the dominant feature of the house, and the iron roof cresting are indicative of the Second Empire style. As was typical of the Second-Empire style, the house centers around this ornamental tower. Decorative brackets, narrow segmental arch windows and doors, and the canted bay window point to the Italianate influence. Taken all together, it is a masterful execution of Late Victorian architectural exuberance. The house was one of the early works of George E. King, a prominent architect in the late 1800s, well known in Boulder and Leadville. At the time it was built, the house was considered the most architecturally beautiful house in the town of Boulder, and today retains a high level of architectural integrity. The Arnett-Fullen House stands out as an example of how east-coast architectural styles influenced western settlers as they established communities in Colorado, melding local building materials with a whimsical design. The house reflects the economic aspirations of its owner, the growing economy of the area, and the Victorian middle-class ideals in the rough-and-tumble mining-supply town of then- rural Boulder. Today the small house continues to represent these traits, standing as a rare mix of Victorian aspirations, artistic precision, and entrepreneurial spirit, masterfully achieved within the limitations of the local resources of the young gold-rush town and its ambitious owner. Even the small size of the house reminds us that it was built early in the settlement of the West, when life was hard and resources were scarce. Historical Background Willamette Arnett built the house intending it as a showplace, despite the limited resources at his command. Though the house is not large, Arnett spent four thousand dollars building it, approximately twice the cost of the most expensive house in Boulder at that time. This price did not include the cast- iron fence, which came by rail from Pittsburgh to Omaha and by ox-cart from Omaha to Boulder at a cost of $1500. The architectural significance of the Arnett-Fullen House was recognized early on. On February 9, 1877, The Boulder County News noted that The exterior of Will Arnett's new residence on West Pearl is nearly completed as to show the architectural beauty of the building, in which it excells [sic] any residence ever before erected in Boulder. Willamette delights in the beautiful, is always ornamenting his grounds, and even his stables. The entrance way to his livery is painted and gilded tilt it looks like an art gallery. But this new residence is his pet ornament, and the gem of the city. Architect King is permitted to display all his genius on it. !t is not a large house, casting only four thousand dollars. On the lower floor are the parlor, with bay windows and marbelized iron mantes, dining room, family bedchamber, servant's bed-room, bath room, to be supplied with hot and cold water, kitchen, pantry, china ~ -~C1 - - G'. E3'JO.10<~:NJ1Fi National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 8 Page 8 Boulder County/ Colorado closet, and hall. The upper floor is divided into four large bed-chambers. The house is covered with a shingled pitch roof, with a slated Mansard tower on the northwest corner. The finish is an iron cresting, finial on the corners, and with gilded horses surmounting all. The form of the building as a whole is pleasing to the eye, the proportions harmonizing, the architectural elegance in keeping throughout. Frank Maldon did the stone and brick work, and D.L.Hopkins does the carpentry. In the Spring the grounds will be enclosed by beautiful fences, and be decorated by beautiful trees. The Arnett-Fullen House has since become Boulder's iconic historic landmark. Listed as a city of Boulder landmark in 1990, it was one of the first houses in Boulder to have this distinction. Its image became the logo chosen to represent Historic Boulder, Inc., whose offices resided there from 1993 to 2005. It is both a Boulder walking tour stop and a commercial heritage tour bus stop. The house was one of five locations featured in the recent Rocky Mountain PBS series "Colorado Spaces -Boulder," . along with the Hotel Boulderado and Chautauqua Park. The house is the setting for the novel The Mirror while Chapter One of the book Haunted Boulder is devoted exclusively to the Arnett-Fullen House. The house is discussed in historian Silvia Pettem's books Boulder, Evolution of a City and Positively Pearl Street as well as A Scalawag in Georgia, Richard Whiteley and the Politics of Reconstruction, abiography by William Warren Rogers, Jr. The house is located in downtown Boulder, at the west end of Pearl Street. Foot traffic passing by during the summer is constant, with many tourists thinking it is a museum. The home was built in 1877, when an eccentric local entrepreneur, Willamette Arnett, commissioned architect and fellow eccentric George King to design the "Gingerbread" house. George Edward King was Leadville's leading commercial architect between 1878 and 1886. This ostentatious house was built all for show. Tl~e owner and architect, like many in the Late Victorian era, were taken by numerology, where certain proportions and symmetries defined a pleasing home aesthetic. Arnett and King spared no expense in designing a grand and elegant, yet small home filled with extravagances like seven doors, "cubit" rooms having roughly 12'x12'x12' dimensions, and a stable with gold gilt work. At that time Boulder was a small town only 10 years old. The house was built using local materials except for four notable exceptions. The first three include the fireplace, the inlaid burl wood and black walnut banister, and an ornate cast iron fence. The tower was originally adorned with multicolored slate, the fourth and last non-local material. Restored in 2007, the work Avon an award from Historic Boulder for "Excellence in Historic Preservation." George Edward Kinq, Architect Phillip King and Mary Ann Nash married in 1830 in London and produced 8 children: Eliza Caroline (1831), James Isbister (1832), Mary Ann (1835), Eliza Caroline (1838), Harriet (1840), John (1842), Susan (1844), Rebecca Emma (1848), Elizabeth Jane (1850) and George Edward (1852). In approximately 1871, John King, with his brother George and brother-in-law James, travelled from England to the United States to seek work. They were builders and carpenters. John returned to England and over the course of the next decade he traveled back and forth across the Atlantic to spend periods of time working in the States. n t.°~ Fc-n tC~]0^•? ~Ar:• r'~q OM3 tJO 'Oe4-0078 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 8 Page 9 Boulder County/ Colorado George King remained in the United States. He married Harriet Smith in 1874 in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1875 he arrived in Boulder, Colorado, with his new wife and proceeded to set up as an architect and superintendent of building. He designed the Arnett-Fullen house in 1877. George also designed the first building, Old Main, of the Colorado Agricultural College (now Colorado State University) in Fort Collins in this time period. George then moved his young family, George Edward King Junior born in1875 and John William in 1876, to Leadville, Colorado. From 1878 to 1885 George made a name for himself as the leading architect in Leadville and surrounding counties. In addition to the Temple Israel building in Leadville, he was responsible for the following buildings: the Tabor Grand Hotel; the Delaware Hotel; the 9th Street School; the Central School; the U.S. Post Office; the Lake County Court House; the Clipper Building (Silver Dollar Saloon); and his own home at 212 West 9th Street. Many of his buildings stand to this day. Two more children were born to George and Harriet during this time: Alice in 1880 and Arthur Philip in 1881. The family then moved to EI Paso, Texas, where George again had a flourishing architectural practice. As he undertook more and more work in Mexico, by the early 1890s he opened up offices in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Durango, and Chihuahua. The family moved to Mexico City, renting out their house in EI Paso. From approximately 1893 to 1910 George undertook many government contracts, building theatres, governors' residences, and many other grand buildings. These included the Casino Club in Juarez, the Opera House in Zacatas, and the Opera House in Mexico City. Some of these buildings still remain. The family had to flee the country back to Texas in 1910 at the time of the Mexican Revolution. The harsh conditions experienced in this flight took their toll and both George and Harriet died in 1912. An article in the Boulder County News on December 29, 1876, was devoted to King's early work in Boulder. It stated: Let his works praise him. He has designed and in most cases superintended the construction of the following named buildings erected in this town the past season: A.R. Stewart's block; Schuyler Austin's block; C.G. Van Fleet's building; Mrs. D.R. Bowler's residence; W.P. Sale residence and boarding house; L. Jacob's store; Chas Frey's residence; Chas Donelson's residence; Mrs. Sarah A. Allen's residence; A.E. Lee residence; Will. Arnett's residence; A.L. Welch and Co.'s block; and Mr. Winch's store. Anthony and Rose Arnett Anthony Arnett immigrated to the United States from France in 1828, finally settling in Illinois. In 1849 he left his wife Rose and son Willamette, born in Rock River, Illinois in 1840, to join the gold rush in California. He took produce and supplies to the mining camps, first with oxen and later with pack mule trains. Around 1851 he returned to Illinois and the Arnetts, including 11-year-old Willamette and six- year-old Jennie, moved to Colorado. When Anthony heard news of the gold strikes in the Pike's Peak country in 1859, he sent the family back to Illinois and bought 100 head of cattle. He drove the cattle back over the plains to Estes Park. Rose and the children returned to Colorado in 1864, and along the way Willamette was almost taken for an army deserter. Their trip was plagued by hostile Indians and a sick horse. In 1865, the Arnetts bought lots 5, 7, 8, and half of lot 6, block 96 in Boulder. The Boulder House Hotel was located on lots 7 and 8, which Anthony operated for a year or so. In 1874 Anthony built the Arnett BPS I C~:-i 1:: isG3 - OYtBNo. 1024~C0'8 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 8 Page 10 Boulder County/ Colorado Block on Pearl Street (now 1025 Pearl} at a cost of $10,000. On December 11, 1874, the Boulder County News reported it as being "one of the largest and most substantial buildings ever erected in this town...." An addition built in 1875 cost $2,000. The building's roof caved in due to a heavy snowfall in 1878 and was then remodeled into the Arnett Hotel. Over the years the hotel was called the Sherman House, National Hotel, Brainard Hotel (1884), Stillman's Hotel (1894-96), and Bonnie Briar. The Arnett family still owned the building in 1900, though it had been managed by various people since its opening in 1874. Anthony Arnett also donated a significant amount of land to the University of Colorado, helping the university get started in Boulder. In the early 1890s Anthony and Rose Arnett moved to La Jolla, California, where they died in 1903. Their bodies, however, are buried in Columbia Cemetery in Boulder. Willamette Arnett Anthony and Rose Arnett's son Willamette (also called Will) married Lucy Katie Spenser of Illinois on September 17, 1868. He built the house at 646 Pearl Street in Boulder in 1877. Will operated several livery stables at various times in Boulder and acquired the nick name "Fighting Will" because he not only enjoyed fist fights, but often won them. Willamette was know for being an eccentric, which he showed by wearing a coat that had ten dollar gold pieces for buttons and sometimes wearing his sock outside of his shoe. Willamette had many financial ups and downs and was much better at spending his father's money than making it himself. After building the house at 646 Pearl Street he was unable to pay all of the construction costs and several liens were filed against him. In the late 1890s Willamette went to Alaska to seek his fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush. There he died a pauper about 1900. His brother is reputed to have gone to Alaska to retrieve his body and his mother is believed to have paid off his debts on the house. Richard Whiteley Richard H. Whiteley was born in the north of Ireland in 1830. His family moved to Augusta, Georgia, in 1836 where he attended school until 1839. He then apprenticed to learn the trade of cotton and wool manufacturing and engaged in that business until 1860. In 1860 he was admitted to the bar and in 1861 took an active part in the issue of secession, which he opposed. He entered the Confederate Army when war was declared and surrendered in 1865 at Durham Station in North Carolina. When it came to the question of reconstruction, he favored the policy of Congress, maintaining that the first duty of Southerners was to unconditionally accept the results of the war. In February 1870, he was elected United States Senator by the General Assembly of Georgia, but in a contest before the Senate, the election was declared to be illegal. He was a delegate to the National Republican Convention in 1872 and during the same year was again elected to Congress; a contest succeeded in an attempt again to count him out. In 1874 and 1876 he was again elected to Congress by large majorities but both times defrauded by false counts. In March 1877, being fully satisfied that there was no hope of change of policy in the South, he moved to Colorado. He came to Boulder and engaged in the practice of law. He purchased the Arnett-Fullen house in 1885 and lived there until his death in 1886. After his death, his wife Margret E. Devine continued to reside in the house until 1899. Their son, Richard Whiteley, was born in Bainbridge, Georgia, in 1861. He carne to Boulder with his L ~ ~ w°S Fo~-n 1u-90va (~+a•. 3't36) OMB NO. 1024.00!8 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service Arnett-Fullen House Section number 8 Page 11 Boulder County/ Colorado father and family when he was 16. He entered the University of Colorado's first class in 1877 and graduated in 1882. Three years later he finished his law school training at Harvard University. In 1888 he established his law practice in Boulder and was elected to the Colorado State Senate. Hiram and Eliza Jane Fullen Born in Virginia to a farming family, Hiram Fullen moved to the Black Hawk and Central City area of Colorado in 1859. He owned the White Rock Mine, second patented claim to be filed in Colorado, and was half owner of the 7:30 and American mines. He is also credited with finding a rich vein of tellurium ore that he named Magnolia. The nearby town of Magnolia, Colorado, was named after this mine. Ten years later he moved to Gold Hill where he was a co-owner of a ten-stamp mill and served as Justice of the Peace in 1875. Fullen went on to locate the American Mine at Sunshine. This mine ultimately produced 1.5 million dollars worth of ore. He bought a Salina mine, the Ingram, in December 1874. For many years this mine was a rich source of income for his partnership and secured Fullen's reputation as a prominent miner. In September 1878 Hiram, age 39, married Bessie Smith, age 18. By December she had moved back with her parents; in April she filed for divorce. According to Bessie, Hiram had "required absolute and unqualified submission to his will." It was in Salina that he met Eliza Jane Allen in 1888. In January 1888, Hiram and his partner sold the Ingram. In November 1888, Hiram, age 49, married Eliza Jane Allen, age 21. He bought a farm near Niwot (now the site of IBM) in 1893 and it was here that he died of heart trouble in 1900, his estate being worth $40,000. Their only child of four to live to adult hood was Hiram Jr., born five months after his father's death. Eliza Jane Fullen purchased the house at 646 Pearl Street in 1914, where she lived with her mother, Eliza Jane Allen, and Hiram Jr. Her mother lived at the house until she died in 1941; Eliza Jane Fullen died in 1947. Hiram Jr. married Ethel Mann in 1934. In the 1950s Hiram worked his father's ranch and lived until 1979. The Fullens sold the house in 1992 to Historic Boulder, Inc., who occupied the building until 2005, when they sold it to the current owners, Dylan Williams and Kate Remley. They have returned it to single-family dwelling. Ownership list for 646 Pearl Street: Owner Date purchased Price Willamette Arnett 1877 Mary G. Arnett Henry C.
