5E - Consideration of a demolition permit (HIS2008-00241) for 3119 11th St MEMORANDUM December 3, 2008 TO: Landmarks Board FROM: Susan Richstone, Long Range Planning Manager James I iewat, Historic Preservation Planner Allison Hawes, Historic Preservation Intern Chris Meschuk, Historic Preservation Planner SUBJECT: Public hearing and consideration of a demolition permit for the building located at 311911~h Street, per Section 9-11-23 of the Boulder Revised Code (HIS2008-00241) for non-landmarked buildings over fifty years old. STATISTICS: 1. Site: 3119 11~ Street 2. Date of Construction: 1939 3. Zoning: RL-1 (Residential -Low 1) 4. Owner/Applicant: Mark & Dana James STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following motion: 'I`he L~ndrnarks Board approve th.~.demolition permit for the house and. garage at 3119 11'" Street, finding that the building is not eligible for designation as an individual landmark and does not contribute to the character of the neighborhood. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On October 10, 2008, the Plaluling Department received a demolition permit application for the house at 311911 Street. 11~e building is not in a designated historic district or locally landmarked, but is over fifty years old and meets the criteria for demolition defined under Section 9-11-23 of the Historic Preservation Ordinance. On October 15, 2008, the Landmarks Design Review Committee referred the application to the Landmarks Board for a public hearing, finding there was probable cause to believe that the building maybe eligible for designation as an individual landmark. After detailed analysis, staff considers the building to be slightly altered, and not to meet the significance criteria for individual landmark designation and does not have a significant relationship to the character of the surrounding neighborhood. 'T'herefore, Agenda Item # SE Pale 1 Memo to Landmarks Board 12/03/2008 Re: 31 19 1 1'h Street- Demolition Permit staff recommends that the Landmarks Board issue the demolition permit for the house and garage. DESCRIPTION: Located in the Newlands neighborhood in north Boulder, on the west side of 11th Street, just north of Evergreen Avenue, the 6,000 square foot lot contains the approximately 2,340 sq. ft. one-story wood frame stucco house and detached garage. 0 ~ .fit, - [ ~ .3119 1 1th St _ C ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ r J, ~ - r_ ,r~ _ - ~ l~ - J ~ - I 7 fl Q ~ - EVERGREEN-- t~ ~ r--,, Figure 1: Location Map, 3129 11~" Street Un August 22,1938 a building permit was applied for to contract this house at a cost of $3,000. Its wood-frame, stucco clad vernacular construction is characteristic of buildings constructed in Boulder at this time with its intersecting gables, minimal eaves and simple form. The walls are clad with stucco, with the front facing gable and entrance hood being clad in horizont:~1 wood siding. The small front-gabled roof over the entry stoop is supported by simple square columns, and a concrete base. The paneled front door is centered on the facade, with anon-historic picture window replacing the triple window that was original. The remaining windows on the house are 4/4 double hung. A wood frame, stucco clad detached garage is located on the rear of the lot, with similar detailing as the house. It is assumed that the garage was constructed at the same time as the house. The vernacular frame house is simple in design and lacks architectural details which would indicate a particular style, but is consistant with the Minimal Traditional form.

When considering the condition of the building and the projected cost of restoration or repair as set forth in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, the Board may not consider deterioration caused by unreasonable neglect. As detailed below, staff considers this property not eligible for designation as an individual landmark, and does not relate to the character of the neighborhood. The house appears to be in fairly good condition although limited evidence has been provided suggesting that the condition of the building is a factor in the request for demolition. Although all four criteria have been considered, staff concentrated on criteria 1 and 2, the building's eligibility for landmark designatian and its relationship to the character of the neighborhood, in the analysis below. CRITERION 1: INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK ELIBILITY The following is a result of staff's research on the property relative to the significance. criteria for individual landmarks adopted by the Landmarks Board on September 17, 1975. Sec< <ltt~chtrlent F: Individual Landmark Significance Cr•itel•i~~ ~ ~ ' HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house located at 3119 11~ Street may meet historic significance under criterion 1 and 2, but staff does not consider the house to have historic significance. 1. Date of Construction: 1939 Elaboration: Ctn August 22, 1938 a permit fora 39 ft x 30 ft frame stucco dwelling was received by the city of Boulder. On September 15,1939 Silver State Plumbing and Heating Co. received a permit to tap the street water main and connect water and sewer service to the property. According to current assessor records, a total of 56 houses completed in 1939 are still extant in the city of Boulder. 2. Association with Persons or Events: Arthur A. Wickstrom Elaboration: The house appears to have been constructed for Arthur A and. Alice Wickstrom. Arthur A. Wickstrom was the owner of the Boulder City Bakery until S:\PLAN\dataVongrangVilS'I1Demos\ilth.3119V2.03.2008 LB memo.doc Agenda Item 5E Pale 4 .

Arthur also served on the Boulder City Council for b years, from 1949 to 1955. During this period, the new Municipal Building was constructed. Wickstrom served as acting mayor from 1953 to 1955 in the absence of Mayor Gillespie. Wickstrom ran for re-election in 1955, but does not appear to have been re-elected. The Wickstrom's Iived in the house until they died, Alice in 1982, and Arthur in 1988. See Attachment B: Directon~ and Deed Research for more information. 3. Development of the Community: None observed Elaboration: 4. Recognition by Authorities: Noz1e observed Elaboration: The buildu1g was surveyed in 1995 by Front Range Research Associates, and found that not to be eligible for listing on the National Register. See Attachment A: Historic Building Inventvr~ Record. ARCHITECTURAL SIGl\TIFICANCE: Summary: The house at 311911th Street is not believed to have architectural significance. 1. Recognized Period or Style: Vernacular wood frame, minimal traditional Elaboration: The house at 311911th Street is constructed in the Minimal Traditional type of architecture, which was most common from c. 1935 to 1950. A Field Guide to American Houses by Virginia and Lee McAlester states that the Minimal Traditional style is identified by low to moderate roof pitches, the eaves are shallow, anti many times a large chimney and a front facing gable end. This house has all of the characteristics, with . its simple stucco exterior finish, form, front facing gable and entry hood over the porch, . and large chimney. 2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: None known Elaboration: 3. Artistic Meri#: None observed Elaboration: 4. Example of the Uncommon: None observed Elaboration: 5. Indigenous Qualities: None observed Elaboration: S:\f'LANldatallongrang\HIS11Demos\I Ith.3119\12.03.2008 LB memo.doc Agenda Item SE Page 5 Memo to Landmarks Board 12/03/2008 Re: 31 19 1 1'h Street- Demolition Permit ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The house at 3119 11th Street is not believed to have environmental significance. 1. Site Characteristics: None observed 2. Compatibility with Site: None observed 3. Geographic Importance: None observed 4. Environmental Appropriateness: None observed 5. Area Integrity: None observed CRITERION 2: RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD: This house is located in the Newlands Addition to Boulder, platted in 1891 and developed primarily from the 192Us through the mid-1950s. The area was surveyed in the 1995 Boulder Survey of Historic Places report by Front Range Research Associates, which found no buildings in the Newland Addition survey area to be eligible for individual Listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The 3100 block of 11th Street appears to have the highest concentration of late 1930s to early 1940s houses uz the Newlands neighborhood, according to the Boulder County assessor information. Staff, in assessing the house in the context of the surrounding neighborhood, does not believe the relationship of the house in the context of the neighborhood is significant. The neighborhood, and oven the 3100 block of 11t~ Street; has experienced significant change,' and many blocks now have such a varied character in terms of mass, scale, and type of housing. CRITERION 3: CONDITION OF THE BUILDING AND CRITERION 4: PROJECTED COST OF RESTORATION OR REPAIR: In the owner's submitted materials (see Attachment 1-~ and in conversation with the owners and architect, there is some concern on the condition of the building, which is common to this vintage of housing stock. The exterior stucco wall finish is applied directly to the framing, without the use of exterior wood sheathing. As a result the exterior walls have shifted, cracking some of the stucco, and reducing the shear strength of the wall system, which has minimal insulation. The architect and owners also acknowledged the typical issues of building systems such as plumbing and electrical, which need upgrading. Staff did not observe any serious condition issues upon site visits.

The emails are included in Attachment G. All the emails and both phone calls were in support of the demolition permit application. 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., 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 18U 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. [Section 9-11-23(h)]. A 180-day stay period would expire on April 20, 2009. FINDINGS: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following findings: Demolition of the house and garage at 311911th Street is appropriate based on the criteria set forth in section 9-11-23(f) B.IZ.C, in that the building: 1. Is not believed. to be eligible for'individ~,xal landmark designation based upon its historic, architectural, and environmental significance; 2.

The No herited two acres of land, money from the sale o rest of the land, and were allowed to stay ' e house, which they later purchas om Paddock. Paddock divided the remaining acreage in ~ for sale. By ,the Nolans were living at 1503 Balsam Avenue.l' William and Mary Newland and Newland Addition William Newland purchased 240 acres of land north of the city limits from pioneer developer James Tourtellot, establishing one of the most widely known fruit farms in the Boulder area. Newland's property was adjacent to that of Joseph Wolff and he pursued similar agricultural endeavors, specializing in fruits and berries. Newland was born in Pennsylvania in 1833 and married Mary E. Harris in Illinois in 1857. Along with other goldseekers, Newland arrived in Colorado in 1860. After mining for several years, Newland became involved in grading railroad routes, including that of the Colorado Central between Golden and Denver. In 1871, Newland purchased his farm in North Boulder for $5,000.18 In 1875, Newland experimented with the successful raising of spring wheat, but discovered that dairy production and truck gardening were more profitable. By 1876, Newland was growing one of the largest crops of strawberries in the Boulder area, with eleven acres devoted to that fruit. Newland's berries were marketed in Denver, as well as in mining camps. In 1876, his fields produced an estimated six thousand quarts of strawberries. Newland also grew grapes and apples. Like his neighbor Joseph Wolff, Newland experimented with agricultural techniques. He was one of the first local farmers to mix kerosene with water to kill grasshoppers.ly Newland began to carve garden lots of small acreages from his farmland to sell to others. Following his death in 1886, his wife Mary erected a substantial brick home at 3011 Broadway which is now a Boulder Landmark. Mrs. Newland lived in the residence and operated the farm until her death in 1906.

Maxwell an Maxwell's Addition Among the most promine members of the agric ral community in North Boulder was James P. Maxwell, who pla d Maxwell's Ad 'ion with George S. Oliver in 1891. The development included an area om 4th Stre to 9th Street between Portland Place and Maxwell Avenue. Born in Big ot, Wi onsin, in 1839, James P. Maxwell came to Colorado with his father in 1859 an se ed in Boulder in 1870. Maxwell, for whom the Boulder street is named, compiled a to career of public service, holding the offices of state senator (1876-1880 and 1896-1900 may of Boulder (1878-1$80), state engineer (1888- 1893), and Boulder County treas er (1880- 82). Izi private affairs, Maxwell was one of the city's most active pioneers. a served as pr 'dent of the First National Bank of Boulder and was active in many dev opment projects in lder County, including surveying, real estate, irrigation develop ent, road building, and ~c~attle raising.

Among the earliest of the styles represented was the Italianate, found on one surveyed dwelling and one dwelling in the study area which had been previously documented. The Italianate style had become the most popular in America by the 1860s. The style had a vertical, often asymmetrical, emphasis and rich ornamentation. Homes designed in the Italianate style were generally two to three stories in height, and had low pitched, hipped roofs, overhanging eaves, and cornices with decorative brackets. TaII, narrow windows with double-hung sash were common, as were elaborate window crowns, usually arched.. Porches were an important element of the style, and one-story porches with square supports with beveled edges were typical. Elaborate versions of the style featured cupolas or towers, quoins, and balustraded balconies.69 The Joseph Wolff House at 1237 Elder is one of the finest examples of the Italianate style in the city. This previously recorded dwelling reflects typical elements of the style, including its two-story height, hipped roof with overhanging eaves with brackets, one-story porch, and windows with arched hood molds. The 1880 dwelling at 2951 14th Street is also of Italianate style, as reflected in its Iow hipped roof with overhanging eaves, vertical emphasis, one-story porch, tall double-hung windows, and paneled bay window. The Queen Anne style, popular up to the first decade of the twentieth century, emphasized 66Pettem, 133 and 135. 67Boulder Daily Camera files. 68Verna Hamm Transcript. ~9Pearce, 18; McAlester, 212; and James C. Massey and Shirley Maxwell, "The Italian Style," Old House Journal (Jan./Feb. 1989): 49-53. , t ` 33 ornamentation through a variety of shapes, patterns, and building materials, made accessible through advances in technology and transportation. Queen Anne houses had vertical lines with steep gables and angles to catch the light. The style favored a variety of building materials for a single structure, including brick, stone, wood, stucco, tile, shingles, and stained glass. The style was immensely popular as it could be adapted to any size home, and any lot, rural or urban. A Queen Anne style dwelling could be had by the common man, who might not decorate his home with stained glass, but could afford decorative shingles or a turned spindle support on the porch. Many vernacular houses in North Boulder display Queen Anne influences in their decorative shingles and turned porch supports.70 A small home reflecting Queen Anne elements is 2935 Broadway, notable for its inset porch with arched frieze. Another well preserved example of Queen Anne architecture is 904 Hawthorn, which features an asymmetrical plan, spindled porch supports, decorative shingles, and a paneled bay window. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, reaction to the elaborate ornamentation of the Queen Anne style and the economic downturn of the 1890s led to a movement to create somewhat plainer, less ostentatious residences, a trend which continued during the early years of the next century. The excesses and extravagances of the previous age were attacked as an indication of selfishness and lack of social concern. Urban reform movements emphasized the values of the middle class. The Edwardian Vernacular style was apost- Victorian architectural concept which utilized the same form and massing as the Queen Anne residence, but stripped away the spindled porch details, varieties of glass, and other ornament to create a more simplified surface dignified by classical details. The Edwardian Vernacular style was very popular in Colorado from about 1890 to 1910. Fourteen examples of Edwardian Vernacular style homes were recorded during the survey of the Newland Addition area. A well preserved small dwelling in the Edwardian Vernacular style is 2949 Broadway, a house with clapboard siding, a gable with shingles and an arched ornament, and a porch with squared columns. A large, elaborately detailed version of the Edwardian Vernacular style is 3175 1.Oth, a house with multiple gables, decorative verge boards and gable ornaments, shingle and lap siding, and a porch with squared columns. The Edwardian Vernacular frame home at 3505 Broadway is notable for its gabled dormer with paired columns ,and fan ornament. A fine example of Edwardian Vernacular style is found at 1345 Hawthorn, a home which features a central Palladian window and afull-width porch with column supports. By 1910, the square footage of houses had diminished, although prices of new homes remained high due to new technological advances. The eclectic movement which followed the Victorian era drew upon a wide range of architectural traditions for its inspiration and stressed relatively pure copies rather than free stylistic mixtures of the previous era. The 70James C. Massey and Shirley Maxwell, "Queen Anne Style," Old House Journal (July/Aug. 19$9): 38. 34 movement was influenced by Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition, which emphasized the "correct historical interpretation" of European architectural styles." Americans also continued to be interested in their own country's architectural roots. Houses constructed by the colonists were viewed as a model for finding the American identity in terms of a dwelling. The movement resulted in the creation of two types of residences: those which were historically accurate reproductions of colonial houses and those in which colonial details were applied to basically Victorian or post-Victorian buildings. A subcategory of the Colonial Revival style was the Dutch Colonial Revival house, which found-great popularity. The Dutch Colonial was distinguished by its gambrel roofed design, to which colonial details such as Palladian windows and classical columns were added. An excellent example of the Dutch Colonial Revival style was built at 3315 4th Street. The front gambrel roofed dwelling features a combination of shingle and lap siding, a round window in the apex of the facade, and a porch with columns. The Parsons/Long residence at 3240 Broadway is also a good representative of the Dutch Colonial Revival style. California developed Mission Revival style architecture as a counterpart to the Colonial Revival. Popular Mission Revival elements included a curvilinear shaped gable, stucco or plaster wall finish, porch arcades, the roofing, towers, and arched windows.72 North Boulder displayed examples of Mission Revival style architecture during the early twentieth century. The Knudsen Greenhouses, the W.W. Wolf house, and the Boulder County Hospital were significant Mission style buildings; of these, only the hospital building remains. The Bungalow and Craftsman styles were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement as popularized by Gustav Stickley, a Syracuse, New York, furniture maker whose shop produced its products with hand tools and emphasized simple lines and unvarnished materials. The movement encouraged the appreciation of hand-crafted goods, simplicity, rustic appearances, and a wholesome environment. Bungalows were small houses of one to one-and-a-half stories, with wide porches with heavy supports and overhanging eaves, which were generally composed of a variety of materials. The design was very versatile and could be adapted to brick, clapboard, shingle, or stone. Bungalows were popular houses for small urban residential lots and their numbers increased as journals and pattern books made such designs available to the average builder. The Colorado Historical Society defines buildings with similar details to Bungalows but of larger scale as Craftsman. Forty-nine Bungalow style homes and three Craftsman style homes were recorded during the "Gwendolyn Wright, Building the Dream: A Social History of Housing in America (New York: Pantheon Books, 1981), 156; and Virginia and Lee McAlester, A Field Guide to American Houses (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1985), 319. 72Clem Labine and Patricia Poore, "The Comfortable House: Post-Victorian Domestic Architecture," Old House Journal (January 1982): 4; and Pearce, 45. 35 survey. North Boulder contains a number of nicely preserved Bungalow style houses in brick, frame, and stone variations. Among the finest examples in the area is 2520 10th Street, a shingled frame dwelling with full-width porch with twin supports atop a shingled wall with inset slat balustrade and tiny brackets. The side gable roof house at 3375 loth Street displays slanted door and window surrounds popular for the Bungalow style. The dwelling at 2821 10th Street exhibits an interesting combination of narrow lap and shingle sheathing. Frame houses at 2835 and 2841 10th Street display several elements common for Bungalow style homes, including gabled roofs with overhanging eaves and exposed rafters, shingle and lap siding, broad porches with tapered columns, and multi/single-light windows. The native stone house at 2958 6th Street features stone rubble walls. The stone house at 3084 6th Street is notable for its polygonal masonry. Brick homes with stucco in upper gable faces, such as 1404 Hawthorn Avenue, are also present in the study area. A notable Craftsman style house, with stone foundation, brick walls, and shingled gable faces is 803 Forest Avenue. The house displays afull-width porch with tapered supports atop a shingled wall, a shingled shed roof dormer, and a rectangular above ground bay window. By the end of World War I, more people were living in the city than in rural areas for the first time in the country's history. Many city dwellers had been drawn by high paying jobs resulting from the war and chase to remain in the city. The ideal of owning a home away from the inner city had become popular and the growth of streetcars and improvement of roads made the concept possible. In North Boulder, homeowners had the opportunity of combining the rural atmosphere and lots large enough for gardens with convenient access to jobs in the downtown area and nearby sources of employment. Home building in North Boulder proceeded steadily following the war. Following World War I, home design reflected a concern for the role of women in society and emphasized simplicity, unpretentiousness, and sanitation. Advances in technology allowed new designs employing such techniques as adding a thin layer of brick or stone to a balloon frame house. These advances resulted in the popularity of a full complement of European and Colonial American styles during the decades before World War II. The English influence, with its half-timbering and steeply pitched roofs was the favorite style during the peak of home building between the wars. In North Boulder, the English/Norman Cottage style was widely built during the era. These dwellings were generally constructed of brick and had steeply pitched gabled roofs, with overlapping front gables, projecting entrance bays with round arches, facade chimneys, and multi-light windows. In the survey area, twenty-three examples of English/Norman Cottage style were documented. The English/Norman style dwelling at 2825 3rd Street is unusual for its walls clad with rounded logs which taper in width from foundation to gable peak. A fine native stone example of English/Norman Cottage architecture is 3134 4th Street. A picturesque example of the style is 3142 8th Street, with its flared eave, round arched entrance, facade chimney, and band of multi-light windows. The brick and stuccv dwelling at 1407 Cedar Avenue is notable for its clipped gable and porch with arched openings. A nice brick example of English/Norman Cottage style is 2927 11th Street, notable far its extruded 3~ ~ ~`v. ~ '4r~ I R f1~ :•:1~ ,l~ti'f rC,..° t,' •~ti,~t~. 4t rtr~ +~jfik ~}+~.nS.~tR~~~ r'~ 1 ;~r'1 ' I}., ~ ~"C ~L7~:-~ ~ ,A•1~ ~F "/°74i'`i1_ ~~.~~~CY !{yl,~~~.~ iv.f ~t• ~f:~ ' ~ ~ ? y f t •r , 4 3, 'r+ : 3 ` ~ t~.° 1v' ~~e,~ i+" r:i 'S~'$t~ .t' 1~'. ~'~,'t r r ~ . k V"AT" ~ r• . t ~ ' rt.r + {T~' Y.y~t -rr.,eC1u~ } ° ~ ~ L .

The period immediately preceding and during World War II saw the introduction of Modern style homes which would dominate the post-war period. The Minimalist Traditional version of the Modern home was a simplified version of the cottages of the 1920s and early 1930s, which was characterized by a low pitched, gabled roof, one-story height, casement windows, close eaves, and minimal exterior ornamentation. The Ranch sryie, a later version of the Modern home, was none-story structure with very low pitched roof and a rambling facade. During the war era, material for construction was in short supply and dwellings of the era reflected the emphasis on conservation of materials. The available land in North Boulder made it a prime site far construction of Modern style homes. Forty-seven Modern style homes dating from the late 1930s through World War II were surveyed in North Boulder. The Modern style homes mostly reflect the minimal traditional elements derived from English and Colonial architecture. The home at 905 Evergreen reflects the English influence in its projecting, stucco and half timber clad entrance bay with flared eave. The steeply pitched front gable and flared eave of 2825 11th street also represent this influence, as do the multi-light casement windows. A nicely preserved home with minimal Colonial elements is 3142 11th Street, notable for its narrow lap siding and pedimented entrance area. The layers of thin stone which compose the broad facade of the house at 1445 Balsam Avenue are its major ornament. The frame dwelling at 3115 6th Street also has a rambling facade, with ornamentation limited to vertical siding in a gable face and a shed roof entrance bay with octagonal window. Among the most popular type of home from earliest times to the World War II era were those of vernacular design. Vernacular homes, having no particular stylistic influence, were based on local traditions utilizing native materials. Vernacular construction has been divided into several subcategories by the Colorado Historical Society: gabled L, front gable, hipped box, and side gable. Vernacular housing was generally the least expensive type of building available to the home owner, as it did not require formal architectural knowledge or skilled craftsmanship. The survey recorded 158 vernacular dwellings, with vernacular frame construction far more numerous than masonry. A simple brick dwelling whose design is dominated by its front gable roof is 740 Hawthorn Avenue. The brick dwelling at 3136 9th displays influences popular during the early twentieth century, including segmental arches, a shingled gable face, and tapered porch supports; the house is notable for its stone balustrade and piers. Another house which features a stone porch is 3580 4th Street, a side gable roof dwelling with narrow lap siding and simple, symmetrical design. An early twentieth century version of a simple vernacular frame house is 3355 4th Street which has a pyramidal hipped roof, lap siding, and a porch with slender posts. 37 VI. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The 1995 Boulder Survey of Historic Places recorded 380 buildings in the Newland Addition/North Boulder area. Appendices 1 and 2 contain listings in street address and state identification number order of all resources surveyed during the 1995 project. The buildings recorded were predominantly single family residences, although several have been incorporated into large apartment complexes in recent years. Architecture of Newland Addition/North Boulder Area Periods of Development Little development occurred in the survey area before 1900, with a few large landholders owning much of the property in the area. The nineteenth century was the period of construction for only four percent of the buildings recorded during the survey. The period before World War I witnessed increased growth, as the large tracts of land were increasingly subdivided, many into smaller garden lots. Sixteen percent of the recorded buildings date to the first decade of the twentieth century and nine percent were built between 1910 and 1919. The greatest period of development for the survey area was the 1920s, when twenry- ninepercent of the documented buildings were erected. Although homebuilding took a sharp downturn during the economic crisis of the 1930s, approximately twenty percent of the documented properties were built during that period. The period 1940-1945 witnessed the constriction of twenty-three percent of the buildings surveyed. Architectural Styles Vernacular dwellings accounted for the largest number of recorded resources in the survey, with forty-two percent. Among the vernacular houses, the Iarge majority were of frame construction. The second largest group of homes recorded were those with no discernable style due to major alterations. Among the houses for which formal styles could be assigned, the Bungalow style constituted the largest group, comprising thirteen percent of the total resources surveyed. Modern style homes totaled twelve percent of the houses recorded. English/Norman Cottage style homes accounted for six percent of all buildings surveyed and F.,dwardian Vernacular homes equaled approximately four percent of the surveyed resources. Styles represented by four or fewer buildings recorded included Craftsman, Dutch Colonial Revival, Eclectic, Italianate, Mediterranean, Queen Anne, and Neo Victorian. Historic District Evaluation No potential National Register historic districts were found during the course of the survey. The lack of districts reflects the continuous development which has taken place in the study ~ P~R~O~ 0~ CONS`~R~JCT~ON Nev~~a~~./No~~,h ~o~~c~e~ ~~ea lzo .:::rig; < 1< - - 100 _ .;a.. S~k;<; <;~;1.

No major period of construction stands out, rather, the area has been continuously developed and become increasingly mare populated during each decade since the 1880s. Recent development pressures have affected the integrity of many homes in the study area. Typical alterations include additions, new siding, window alterations, and porch alterations. Many homes have undergone substantial remodeling and expansion, diminishing their historic integrity. Sixty-nine houses in the study area had been so altered that they no longer reflected an architectural style. In addition, several new homes have been erected on lots which were once large garden lots but have been subdivided. One small group of homes, 2821, 2827, 2835, 2841 10th Street, display historic integrity reflecting Bungalow style elements popular during the 1920s and are the most cohesive and intact remnant of the historic neighborhood dating from that era. Although other areas of the city possess larger quantities and more detailed examples of this style of architecture, thus precluding the group's eligibility for the National Register, the houses may be eligible as a local landmark district. Individually Significant Buildings Nine individual resources within the survey area were evaluated as potentially eligible to the National Register and are listed in Table 2. 1. 3134 4th Street (SBL5085), Harris Residence. This 1938 dwelling is an EnglishJNorman Cottage style version of the native stone domestic architecture popular in Boulder during the 1920s and 1930s. The house is notable as representative of the group of homes erected by local stone masons during the era and reflects middle class tastes and lifestyles of the period before World War II. 2. 331 S 4th Street (SBL5093), 1890, LaRue Residence. This house is significant for its Dutch Colonial Revival style with front gambrel roof, its shingle and lap siding and stone foundation, its circular window at facade apex, and porch with classical column supports. This was the home of Reverend Robert A. and Beulah LaRue, who were ranchers. Robert LaRue was a Baptist minister affiliated with the First Baptist Church in Boulder. 3. 2958 6th Street (SBL5122), Brookhart Residence. This stone Bungalow style dwelling also reflects the native stone craftsmanship of the period before World War 11 and is a well preserved representative of the era. 4. 3084 6th Street (SBL5132), 1940, Peterson Residence. This 1940 stone dwelling is also one of the group of dwellings crafted with native stone by local masons during the period before World War II. 5. ZS20 10th Street (SBLS196), 1922, Hannahs Residence. This fine example of the Bungalow style was the home of Frank B. and Alice Hannahs.

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 adapt 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. Historical Significance The place (building, site, area) should show character, interest ar value as pant 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. 1. Date of Construction: This area of consideration places particular importance on the age of the structure. 2. Association with Historical Persons or Events: This association could be national, state, or local. 3. Distinction in the Development of the Community of Boulder: This is rn.ost applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structure, though is some cases residences might qualify. It stresses the importance of preserving thase 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. 4. Recognition b~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 historical interest and value. . S. 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 04.OSsignif-indiv - l~e 1 0l ~tr u 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. 1. Recognized Period/S~le: It should exemplify specific elements of an architectural period/style, ie: Victorian, Revival styles, such as described by Historic Arnerican Building Survey Criteria, Gingerbread Aye (Maass), 76 Boulder Homes (Barkar), The history of Architectural Style (Marcus/Wiffin), Architecture in San Francisco (Gcbhard et al), History of Architecture (Flectcher), Architecture/Colorado, and any other published source of universal or local analysis of "style." 2. 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. 3. Artistic Merit: A skillful integration of design, material, and color which is of excellent visual quality and/or demonstrates superior craftsmanship. 4. Example of the Uncommon: Elements of architectural design, details, or craftsmanship that are representative of a significant innovation. 5. Indigenous Qualities: A style or material that is particularly associated with the Boulder area. 6. Other, if applicable. Environmental Significance I'he place should enhance the variety, interest, and sense of identity of the community by the protection of the unique natural and man-made environment. 1. Site Characteristics: It should be of high quality in terms of planned or natural. vegetation. 2. Compatibilitywith Site: Consideration will be given to scale, massing placement, or other qualities of design with respect to its site. 3. Geographic Importance: Due tv its unique location or singular physical characteristics, it represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community. 4. Environmental Appropriateness: The surroundings are complementary and/or it is situated in a manner particularly suited to its function. 5. 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. 6. Other, if applicable. 04.OSsignif-indiv Pa 2 of 2 7D _ ~ l ~ . ~7 ' Attachment G Meschuk, Chris From: Bruce D Bassoff J Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 5:25 PM To: Meschuk, Chris Subject: re: proposed renovations to 3119 11th Street 3131 11th Street Boulder, CO 80304 - November 11, 2008 Chris Meschuk, Historic Preservation Planner meschul<c(albouldercolorado.~ov Dear Mr. Meschuk: My wife and I live at 3131 11th Street and are next door neighbors of Mark and Dana James, who are attempting to renovate their house at 3119 11th Street. When we moved into our house, the original owners of 3119 still lived there. When Mrs. Wickstrom died and Mr. Wickstrom went to a home, several other people owned or rented the house and made changes to it, like the large back porch. The main constant 6y which the house is known is certainly not architectural. As far as I can see, the house has nothing distinctive about it architecturally. The main constant is two large maple trees in front, which put on a glorious show each fall. Not only do my wife and I have no objections to the James's plans for improving their house, but we think that their plans make perfect sense and are modest in their scope. We approve entirely. Since the time my wife and I moved to 11th street, there have been many changes to our block, some good and some not so good. When we moved here, there were very few children on the block; now there are many, including the James's two. That is an improvement. When we moved here, all of the houses on the block were fairly modest. That has changed. In some cases, the renovations were done tastefully. In other cases, the changes were grotesque. The James's plans are sensible and appropriate, and the people I talk to on the block approve of them. In addition, Mark and Dana James, and their two children, are part of what has become a very tight neighborhood. We know each other on this bloc!- and have had more than one block party. We care about each other and care about maintaining the character of the neighborhood. The James's proposals do nothing to change that character. In addition, I feel like a father to Mark and Dana ]times, and I feel like a grandfather to their children. Although we very much approve of the work the Landmarks board does, my wife and I would be devastated if they were forced to leave because the board made the necessary renovations to their house impossible. I can see no value in preserving the "look" of the house next door, which is not particularly distinguished and which has no historical tradition I know of. I therefore hope that the board will help keep a close community intact. Thanks for your kind attention.

Chris Cc: 'Ali Boyle' Subject: 3119 11th Street Hello Chris, My wife and 1 would like to convey our support to Dana and Mark James' plans to remodel and add on to their home at 3119 11th Street. We live across 11th Street from them and understand that the City is conducting a Landmark designation review of their home. While we believe that the James' house is attractive, well kept, and nice, we don't feel that it has historically or architecturally significant in any sense of those words. In the context of Landmark designation we don't believe that a Landmark designation of the James' home would further the cultural, historic, or architectural heritage of the City of Boulder. Nor would such designation preserve something that exemplifies the social heritage of our neighborhood, or our city. Like many other homes in this area, it was built in the late 1930s/early 1940s, but doesn't have any association with historic events or people. It's design is not particularly distinctive or uncommon, and does not represent a fine example of a architectural period or style. It also does not present an environmentally significant property as defined by Landmark criteria. It is basically a one story bungalow of common detail and materials, and that is not what we understand the Landmark designation to be all about. (We don't want to sound like we are criticizing the James' home on its merits. We think it is attractive, well kept, and nice, but we also think their addition would exhibit these qualities.) My wife and I strongly believe that should the James' be allowed to remodel their home and add a second story as they have planned, such improvement would fit in quite nicely, and would compliment the character of our neighborhood. . Thank you for your time and efforts, and please feel free to contact us vrith any questions or comments.

They have been gracious enough to share those plans with us and we believe that they will enhance the appearance of our neighborhood, as well as address several safety and construction issues that they currently have with the home.

We live~on the same block as the James family and hope that we will all live here with our families for many years to come. Our neighborhood is very friendly. We all work hard, play hard, and watch out for each other. This is what we love about Boulder and our neighborhood in particular, and so we hope that the City of Boulder chooses to accommodate the James' need to remodel their home to accommodate their family of four. Not only do we want our neighbors to be able to remodel their home for personal reasons--we also do not think that their home should be designated historic. First, we do not feel that the James' home is architecturally significant. While their home is on the older side, there are no remarkably historic characteristics that we can identify. Our block and the Newlands area as a whole are nice, but they exhibit more of a mish-mash of architectural styles both old and new than anything that we would identify as being distinct or significant. Second, it is in no way apparent to us that the James' home is historically significant. Having lived in the neighborhood for over two years, it is readily apparent to us that homes are often being revamped and remodeled to meet modern needs and wants rather than being preserved like they should be in a more historic area like downtown Boulder or Mapleton Hi11. We regret not bring able to attend the December 3 hearing on behalf of the James family, since we really would like them to be able to remodel their home. Tam sure you are aware that the James' plans are only to expand their home to fit their family---not to build amini-mansion. We support their plans entirely. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (720) S6S-0242. Many Thanks, Kate & Patrick Ryan /ilAerda loam # S~ Parge • ~ Attachment H TO: City of Boulder Historic Preservation Office and Landmarks Board FROM: Dana and Mark James, Residents and Owners of 3119 11~' Street, Boulder, CO SUBJECT: Landmarks Board public hearing scheduled for December 3, 2008, to consider the historical significance of the dwelling at 3119 ] lth Street DATE: November 18, 2008 The purpose of this Memorandum is to present evidence that our home at 3119 11~' Street is not eligible for designation as an individual landmark because the criteria for landmark status have not been met. Background: We have lived at 311911' Street since Spring 2003; it is the first and only home we've owned and our two young children were born while living here. Prior to our moving in, the house had been dubbed the "two-year house" by neighbors (the home changed hands in '96, ' 97, '99, 'O1, and '03). The revolving-door nature of ownership was a direct result of the space constraints faced by growing families. We want to raise our children in this home for years to come, but we need more room. In addition, we will be making the home safer (by bringing old wiring up to code) and more energy efficient (by adding insulation in the walls, where none exists currently). (1) Eligibility as an individual landtn~rk Architectural Significance? No. The Historic Building Inventory Record indicates that the residence at 3119 11~' Street was built in the Minimal Traditional type. Minimal Traditional is more a "building type than a true style.... These simple homes were built in large numbers immediately preceding and following World War II," according to the Colorado Historical Society's "Web Guide to Colorado's Historic Architecture and Engineering." Minimal Traditional. properties emerged as a transition from more established, decorative architectural styles (i.e. English/Norman Cottage Style, small-scale Tudor homes) to the modern-style early ranch homes. They lacked architectural or decorative detail. Our home does not meet the standard for architectural significance for several reasons: 1.} Our home is not a shining example of Minimal Traditional, in part because it does not possess tu.~o remarkable elements of this very simple, unremarkable building type: decorative shudders and an exterior composed of brick, wood or metal siding. Our home has no shudders and is made of stucco. There are other homes in Newlands that better exemplify the traits of Minimal Traditional, including two on our block, and two within just a couple blocks of us: 3108 l lta~ Street; 3159 11 `k' Street; 3187 10~` Street; and 2802 11`h Street. (Please see Appendix 1.) Furthermore, our 1939 home is not the most distinguished or defuvng example of the pre- World VVar lI era-home. The 1?nglish/Norman Cottage Style (as mentioned, a predecessor to Minimal Traditional} was very popular in the 1930s and early 1940s in the University Hill neighborhood. There are many intact English/Norman Cottage Styles in University Hill, including: 1068 Lincoln, 770 10`x' Street, 780 10~` Street, 760 12th Street, 877 13 Street, 858 13th Street, 738 14th Street and 78.9 15th Street. Intact examples of pre-war Englisl~/Norman Cottage homes also exist in the Newlands neighborhood, including: 3115 5`h Street (c 1937); 3142 8th Street (c 1938); 3080 1 lth Street (c 1936); and 3134 10t1' Street (c 1940). (Please see Appendix 2.) 2.} Several of the most distinctive elements of our front fagade have been altered by previous owners: ¦ The two front windows on the house -including the large, defining picture window -are not original. ¦ The two columns on the front porch are not original. ¦ The front steps are not original. ¦ It appears that the front flower box was removed in order to accommodate a wood deck that was added on to the front porch in the 1990s. (See Appendix 3). 3.) Our home does not meet the criteria for architect or builder of prominence; artistic merit; example of the uncommon; or indigenous qualities. Historical Si~nif~cance? No. Arthur and Alien Wickstrom were the original and lung-time ow~.er$ of the home. Arthur Wickstrom was a baker at the University of Colorado for many years after he and his brothers sold the family-run bakery; he served on the city council and was acting mayor for two years. Nothing noteworthy resulted from these civic tenures-the positions weren't even mentioned in his obituary (see Appendix 4). Wickstrom's father, Olaf, was the original owner of the Boulder City Bakery, and Olaf Wickstrom's home, at 2141 Bluff Street, is landmarked--thus the Wickstrom family is already recognized and commemorated in Boulder. According to the Building Inventory Record for our home (prepared by R.L. Simmons/J.E. Broeket~, Front Range Research Associates), the home is riot associated with "significant persons" or "significant events or patterns." Based on our research, the home does not claim distinction in the development of Boulder, nor have authorities recognized it. /IQenda tis~n ~ 7 ~ PaSe ~ ~ o Environmental significance? None observed. (2) The relationship of the building to the character of the neighborhood as an established and definable area The Newlands subdivision was fvst platted in 1891 and developed primarily from the 1920s through the 1950s. Its character to that period has been altered significantly during the past two decades as a result of demolition and new construction and the neighborhood as a whole is no longer an "established and definable area." Our block of 3100 11~' Street is no exception. It exhibits an eclectic mix of architectural styles as well as old and new construction, none of which relates to one another. Therefore, it does not even meet the standard for a contributing building to a potential historic district, let alone meet the higher standard ft~r an individual landmark. (3) The reasonable condition of the building The existing exterior wall assembly does not meet current building code criteria. There is visual evidence of exterior cracks in the stucco finish of the home (see Appendix 5), and the original construction techniques and materials used may contribute to this cracking. In addition, there is no wall insulation. (Source: Rave Blair, NA Consulting Engineers.) (4) The reasonable cost of restoration or repair.

You suggested that we send an email in support of our neighbor's project. Our names are Carol and Michael Johnson. We live at 3120 11th Street. We have owned the property since 1996. Our property is 100 feet wide. We live directly across from the James property and have several feet of land to the north and south of their property. Therefore, our views would be directly affected by the remodel. We have seen many owners of the property at 3119 11th Street in the past 12'/= years. So many that the property was called the "Two Year House' by many of us on the block. The James family has our support in their remodel project. The house has very little architectural detail. I would call it rather non-descript as opposed to having any architecturally significance. According to reliable research, the home is not historically significant. We support our neighbors in wanting to stay in their home inside the city limits. Our neighborhood is a wonderful place. We have raised our children here. They attended the local public grade school and high schools. We want the James family to have the same opportunity. They need a safe, energy efficient home in which to raise that family. They deserve the right to modify their home to meet those needs.

I have lived on the same street for over 7 years and have watched the Newlands neighborhood change very much during that time. I know several families who looked at this house but decided to settle elsewhere due to the home's size and configuration. We were so pleased when Mark and Dana moved in and started their family there. They have been wonderful neighbors and active participants in neighborhood activities. I have seen the proposed modifications and agree that it is in keeping with the home's design and will make it much more comfortable for their family. The best result is that they continue to live on our street instead of moving away to a larger home. This means so much in our ever-changing neighborhood where homes seem to disappear overnight to be replaced by very large speculation homes. They are a family that is committed to staying and living in Newlands. They have taken great care in the renovation design which is one example of how much they care about this neighborhood also. I support their renovation plans and would ask the landmarks board to do the same. These changes will keep this wonderful family living in our neighborhood. Thank you for your time and consideration, Fiona Schlachter 3151 11th Street Boulder, CO 80304 i Bonnell, Juliet From: Meschuk, Chris Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 1:18 PM To: Ipab Subject: FW: [CouncilCorr] FWD: Historic Landmark -----Original Message----- From: Richstone, Susan Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 12:36 PM To: Meschuk, Chris; Hewat, James Subject: FW: [CouncilCorr] FWD: Historic Landmark -----Original Message----- From: CouncilAdmin@bouldercolorado.gov [mailto:CouncilAdmin@bouldercolorado.gov] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 12:25 PM To: Richstone, Susan Subject: [CouncilCorr] FWD: Historic Landmark This is only for your information.

Ruth McHeyser in Planning sent an FYI only. Council Correspondence: I read with interest the article in the Boulder Daily Camera yesterday (Sunday Nov. 31) concerning the re-application far designation of the Municipal building as a Historic Landmark. Sorry Lisa, I think you were correct several years ago. The building may be of limited interest to a few, but historic it is not. The best thing about the building is that it is NOT higher than it is. It should set the standard for height in town and it has been a travesty that the new construction along Canyon has made Boulder look more like Anytown USA, than Boulder, Colorado. Please do your duty as the council to use much higher standard for issuing the designation of a historical landmark. We citizens of Boulder deserve to be represented. Please donOt bow to special interest groups such as the historical preservationists not every building that is old, or even somewhat unique is historic. Michael C.
