memorandum including the following as findings of the Board:
FINDINGS
The Landmarks Board finds, based upon the application and evidence presented
that the proposed landmark designation application for 1155131h Street will be
consistent with the purposes and standards of the Historic Preservation
Ordinance, and:
1. The proposed designation will protect, enhance, and perpetuate a building
and areas of the City reminiscent of past eras, events, and persons important
AGENDA ITEM #5B PAGE 1
S:IPLANIdatallongranglHISTILandmarks113th.115518.5.09 1155 13th.doc
in local, state, or national history and providing significant examples of
architectural styles of the past. (9-11-1(a), B.R.C. 1981)
2. The proposed designation will develop and maintain an appropriate setting
and environment for the building and areas to enhance property values, and
stabilize the neighborhood, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster
knowledge of the City's living heritage. (9-11-1(a), B.R.C. 1981)
3. The proposed designation draws a reasonable balance between private
property rights and the public interest in preserving the City's cultural,
historic, and architectural heritage by ensuring that demolition of buildings
and structures important to that heritage will be carefully weighed with other
alternatives. (9-11-1(b), B.R.C. 1981).
This recommendation is based upon staff's opinion that the proposed
designation is consistent with the criteria specified in Section 9-11-5(c), B.R.C.
1981.
SUMMARY:
■ The purpose of this review is for the Board to determine whether the
proposed designation of 115513th Street conforms to the purposes and
standards of Sections 9-11-1 Legislative Intent and 9-11-2 City Council May
designate Landmarks and Historic Districts of the Boulder Revised Code (BRC).
■ On August 6, 2009, Michael Boyers of Boulder Hilltop properties, owner of
the property, submitted an application for individual landmark designation
of 115513th Street.
■ Because the application is being submitted by the property owners, an
initiation hearing is not required.
■ Staff recommends that the Board find that the designation of the building at
115513th Street conforms with Sections 9-11-1 and 9-11-2 of the Boulder
Revised Code and recommend to City Council the approval of the application
for landmark designation, adopting this staff memorandum as findings of the
Board.

The building, designed specifically for Kinsley & Co., includes many salvage
yard items, including the interior wooden beams from an old warehouse and the
slate floor from the roof tiles of the wings of the state capital building. Even the
original doorknobs were salvaged. All of this was in an effort to have the
building portray the image of their fine men's haberdashery.

Research indicates that the site initially contained a two-story house constructed
prior to 1906 and was occupied by R. Emmett Arnett and the rest of the Arnett
Family until the 1910s when the house was inhabited by a variety of University
of Colorado fraternal organizations. In the 1920s parts of the house underwent a
commercial conversion, while other parts remained residential. The original
house continued to be used for commercial enterprises until it was demolished in
1956 by Kinsley & Company, a men's clothing firm to be replaced by a new store
on the site. Kinsley & Co. began in 1949 as the University Shop, and was located
two doors to the south of the subject building until 1957 when it was completed.
Kinsley & Company occupied the building until 2006.
The property is to be redeveloped, including the construction of a two story
addition to the rear portion of the building, with one portion extending into the
front facing mansard roof. The majority of the fagade of the building will be
retained and preserved, although removal of the extreme westernmost part of

These plans have been reviewed and conditionally approved by the Landmarks
design review committee in anticipation of the designation of this property as an
individual landmark.
CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD'S DECISION:
Section 9-11-5(c) Public Hearing Before the Landmarks Board, of the Historic
Preservation Ordinance specifies that in their review of an application for local
landmark designation, "the Landmarks Board shall determine whether the
proposed designation conforms with the purposes and standards in Sections 9-
11-1 Legislative Intent, and 9-11-2 City Council May Designate Landmarks and
Historic Districts".
9-11-1: Legislative Intent states:
(a) , The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health, safety, and
welfare by protecting, enhancing, and perpetuating buildings, sites, and
areas of the city reminiscent of past eras, events, and persons important in
local, state, or national history or providing significant examples of
architectural styles of the past. It is also the purpose of this chapter to
develop and maintain appropriate settings and environments for such
buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property values, stabilize
neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge
of the city's living heritage.
AGENDA ITEM #5B PAGE 5
S: \PLA N\data\longrangM ST\Landmarks\13 tli.1155\8.5.09 1155 13 th.doc
(b) The City Council does not intend by this chapter to preserve every old
building in the city but instead to draw a reasonable balance between
private property rights and the public interest in preserving the city's
cultural, historic, and architectural heritage by ensuring that demolition of
buildings and structures important to that heritage will be carefully
weighed with other alternatives and that alterations to such buildings and
structures and new construction will respect the character of each such
setting, not by imitating surrounding structures, but by being compatible
with them.
(c) The City Council intends that in reviewing applications for alterations to
and new construction on landmarks or structures in a historic district, the
Landmarks Board shall follow relevant city policies, including, without
limitation, energy-efficient design, access for the disabled, and creative
approaches to renovation.
9-11-2: City Council may Designate Landmarks and Historic Districts states:
(a) Pursuant to the procedures in this chapter the City Council may by
ordinance:
(1) Designate as a landmark an individual building or other
feature or an integrated group of structures or features on a
single lot or site having a special character and historical,
architectural, or aesthetic interest or value and designate a
landmark site for each landmark;
(2) Designate as a historic district a contiguous area containing a
number of sites, buildings, structures or features having a
special character and historical, architectural, or aesthetic
interest or value and constituting a distinct section of the
city;
(3) Designate as a discontinuous historic district a collection of
sites, buildings, structures, or features which are contained
in two or more geographically separate areas, having a
special character and historical, architectural, or aesthetic
interest or value that are united together by historical,
architectural, or aesthetic characteristics; and
(4) Amend designations to add features or property to or from
the site or district.
AGENDA ITEM #513 PAGE 6
S:IPLANTdata\longranglHIST\Land ntarks113th.11551$.5.09 1155 13th.doc
(b) Upon designation, the property included in any such designation is
subject to all the requirements of this code and other ordinances of the
city.
To assist in the interpretation of the historic preservation ordinance, the
Landmarks Board has adopted significance criteria to use when evaluating
applications for individual landmarks. The criteria are included in Attachment C.
The Board may approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the
application. Bindings must be adopted within 45 days of the hearing date.
Should the Board disapprove the application, the Board must notify City Council
of that action within fourteen days of the hearing date. City Council may call up
a decision disapproving a designation. Should an application be disapproved,
the same application may not be submitted for a period of one year.
If the Board finds that the proposed designation conforms to Sections 9-11-1 and
9-11-2 of the code, it shall adopt specific findings and conclusions approving or
modifying and approving the application. If the Board approves the proposed
designation, the application will be forwarded to City Council (within 100 days)
for a public hearing.
Analysis:
Staff has identified the following as key issues related to this application:
A. Does the proposed application protect, enhance, and perpetuate buildings,
sites, and areas of the city reminiscent of past eras, events, and persons
important in local, state, or national history or providing significant examples
of architectural styles of the past?
B. Does the proposed application develop and maintain appropriate settings
and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property
values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster
knowledge of the City's living heritage?
C. The proposed designation draws a reasonable balance between private
property rights and the public interest in preserving the City's cultural,
historic, and architectural heritage by ensuring that demolition of buildings
and structures important to that heritage will be carefully weighed with other
alternatives. (9-11-1(b), B.R.C. "1.981).
Historic Significance:
A. Does the proposed application protect, enhance, and perpetuate buildings, sites, and
areas of the city reminiscent of past eras, events, and persons important in local, state,
AGENDA ITEM #5B PAGE 7
S:\PLAMdata\longrang\H1S'fTandmarks\13th. l 155\8.5.09 1155 13th. doc
or national history or providing significant examples of architectural styles of the
past?
Staff finds that the proposed application to landmark 115513th Street will
protect, enhance, and perpetuate a building, site, and area of the City reminiscent
of past eras, events, and persons important in local history and provide for an
important example of historic architecture to be preserved. Staff considers the
application to meet the historic criteria for individual landmark designation as
outlined below:
Summary: The building located 115513th Street at has historic significance under
criterion 1.
1. Date of Construction: 1957
The Kinsley building was constructed in 1957. Wynn. Kinsley purchased the
property and demolished the existing house with a commercial storefront. On
February 4, 1957 a building permit to construct the 2-story building was issued
with a stated construction cost of $51,000.
2. Association with Persons or Events: Wynn Kinsley
The building was constructed for Wynn C. Kinsley's clothing store, Kinsley &
Co. Kinsley was born July 22, 1920 in Portland, Oregon. He moved to
Boulder in 1945, a year after marrying Faith Anderson in Washington, D.C.
In 1949 he opened the University Shop, which became Kinsley & Co. a men's
haberdashery. Kinsley was a active member in the Rotary Club, serving as
president in 1975 and 1976. He served a five year term on the city of Boulder
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and ran for City Council. Kinsley was
actively involved in the creation of the Open Space program. He and his wife
Faith founded the University of Colorado Friends of the Library, and he was
a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Boulder Country Club, St. John's
Episcopal Church, International Explorer's Club, Alpine Club, and a past
chairman of Town and Gown. His wife Faith died in 1988, and he remarried
to Marty Fairchild on March 6, 1988. He died September 10, 1996 at the age of
76.
3. Development of the Community:
The 1950s brought a dramatic increase irt enrollment for the University of
Colorado, and with it came a large amount of commercial development on
the Hill. When Kinsley & Co purchased the 1900s house they demolished the
existing house that had been converted with a small storefront in order to
AGENDA ITEM #5B PAGE 8
S: \P LAN \data\longranglHIST\ILandmarks\ 13 th.1155\8.5.09 1155 13th. doc
expand. The first wave of commercial development on the hill was in the
1920s, when houses were converted to commercial uses along 1311, Street and
storefront's added. The second wave of commercial development was in the
1950s, with the development of Tulagi's and the commercial buildings on the
south end of 13t1' Street at College Avenue.
4. Recognition by Authorities: Thomas J. Noel & Dan W. Corson
Noel and Corson's book Boulder County: An Illustrated History highlights
Kinsley & Co. and states that "Wynn Kinsley carried the best domestic
makers of British style, and was the first local purveyor of Ralph Lauren."
Architectural Significance:
Staff finds that the proposed application would maintain appropriate settings
and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property
values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster
knowledge of the City's living heritage. Staff considers the application to meet
the historic and architectural criteria for individual landmark designation as
outlined below:
Summary
1. Recognized Period or Style: Tudor Revival
The building at 115513th Street exhibits stylistic characteristics derived from
the Tudor Revival Style. Buildings of this style usually have exterior materials
of brick, stone or stucco. As with 11551311, Street, Tudor Revival Style
buildings typically feature gabled roofs with slate shingles. Their
asymmetrical massing gives them a picturesque composition. The building
survives as a relatively well-preserved and representative example of Tudor
Revival style as identified in the Guide to Colorado's Historic Architecture and
Engineering, 2003. The building was designed specifically for the Kinsley &
Co. store, which was a retailer of fine men's clothing. In 1975 a Daily Camera
article stated that Kinsley "wanted a store that would reflect the traditions
behind rep ties and natural shoulders. "I wanted a Tudor building," he said."
His architect is quoted as originally stating he felt like lie was designing a
stage set. The large high peaked window was considered "a concession to
modernity", as Kinsley said "Customers like to see their clothes in natural
light,... and with this window, they can do so without having to go outside."
2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: None observed
AGENDA ITEM #SB PAGE 9
S:\PLANldata\longrang\HIST\I.andinarks\ 13 th.1155\8.5.09 1155 13th.doe
The Kinsley Building was designed by architect Wesley King, who also
designed the Kinsley's personal home at 990 T'' Street. King moved to
Geneva, Illinois. The contractor of the building was Carey F. Cook, who
constructed many homes and commercial buildings in the area, including a
house in the Carolyn Heights neighborhood, and the Oak Park Medical
Center in Broadway.
3. Artistic Merit: Tudor Revival style of commercial architecture
The Kinsley Building was constructed in the Tudor Revival style specific for
the men's clothing business. Kinsley specifically used the style of the
building's architecture as a part of the businesses' image as a purveyor of
unported fine men's clothing.
4. Example of the Uncommon: Tudor Revival style of commercial architecture
The Kinsley building was designed in a Tudor-revival style, which in the
1950s was not a common choice for commercial architecture.
5. Indigenous Qualities: None observed
Environmental Significance:
B. Does the proposed application develop and maintain appropriate settings and
environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property values, stabilize
neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the City's
living heritage?
Staff finds that the proposed application would maintain appropriate settings
and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property
values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster
knowledge of the City's living heritage. Staff considers that the application
meets the environmental significance criteria for individual landmarks as
outlined below:
Summary: The building at 115513th Street has environmental significance under
criteria 5.
1. Site Characteristics: None observed
2. Compatibility with Site: None observed
3. Geographic Importance: None Observed
AGENDA ITEM #5B PAGE 10
S: \PLANTdata\longrang\HIST'\Landmarks\13 th.1155\8.5.09 1155 13th. doe
4. Environmental Appropriateness: None observed
5. Area Integrity: Potentially contributing building in potential historic
district.
The University Hill Business District is a potential historic district. It
covers a relatively small area, but it serves as the anchor for the larger
residential neighborhood, and the university campus. The subject
property lies within an entire block of similar buildings that were
constructed during an era that defined University Hill's cultural character.
Boundary Analysis:
The property proposed for designation includes the entire parcel, identified as all
of Lot 31, and the northerly part of lot 30 and south 1/z of Lot 32, Block 5,
University Terrace Addition. Staff considers that this boundary will maintain
and appropriate setting for the building.

8. Changes or Additions to Previous Descriptions: This is a flat roof commercial building with a one-'story main
wing with a projecting gabled roof section at the north end of the fagade; the rear part of the building is two
stories and composed of concrete block. The main wing of the building has a mansard clad in the same dark
gray slate shingles as the roof of the projecting gable, giving the building the appearance of an L-shaped
building. The walls are composed of red brick. The center entrance has a Tudor arch wood door with dentils
that is flanked by beveled bay windows with multiple lights, rowlock brick sills, and brick bases. The south wall
of the projecting gable has a wheel window, while the east wall features a large nine-light window extending to
the top of the wall (some of its lights are triangular or trapezoidal). The area between the building and the
sidewalk is paved with red brick in a basketweave pattern. There is a decorative metal railing at the edge of the
sidewalk.
9. Changes in Condition: Building appears unchanged from 1994. Outside seating and decorative metal railing
at-edge of sidewalk added.

12. Other Changes, Additions, or Observations:
History:
A pre-1906 two-and-a-half-story brick house with broad front porch originally stood at this location. During the
1910s and 1920s, the house accommodated several University of Colorado Greek organizations, including
Sigma Nu, Alpha Sigma Phi, and Chi Omega fraternities. During the mid--1920s, parts of the house were
remodeled for commercial use, while other sections of the building continued to be used for residential
purposes. The Q.P. Kinsey Confectionery appeared in the 1926 city directory under this address. A photograph
taken in 1929-30 shows the porch enclosed with elaborate display windows for Tarkoff's Varsity Clothing Store.

The building also housed the College Inn Restaurant (1932) and Robinson's Hiland Inn (1949-55). During the
mid to late 1930s, the building may have reverted solely to residential uses; Robert H. Townley is listed at the
address in the 1936 and 1938 city directories.
In 1956, Kinsley & Company, a men's clothing firm, demolished the house and erected a new store on the site.
The company traced its origins to the University Shop established at 1147 131h in 1949 by Wynn and Faith
Kinsley. The Kinsley's new store, constructed in brick with Tudor Revival style influences, contrasted with the
design of the other commercial buildings on the block:. Kinsley and Company prospered and eventually
expanded into the Somers Building to the north. HistDrians Thomas J. Noel and Dan W. Corson report, "Wynn
Kinsley carried the best domestic makers of British style, and was the first local purveyor of Ralph Lauren."
Kinsley & Co. moved to a new location in 2006.

ADOPTED 9/17/1975
City of Boulder
Landmark Preservation Advisory Board
Sig_iificarnce Criteria for an Individual Landmark
On September 6, 1974, the City Council adopted Ordinance #4000 providing the
procedures for the designation of Landmarks and Historic Districts in the City of
Boulder. The purpose of the ordinance is the preservation of the City's permitted
cultural, historic, and architectural heritage. The Landmarks Board is permitted by the
ordinance to adopt rules and regulations as it deems necessary for its own organization
and procedures. The following Significance Criteria have been adopted by the Board to
help evaluate each potential designation in a consistent and equitable mariner.
Historical Significance
The place (building, site, are) should show character, interest or value as part of
the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the community, state, or nation;
be the site of historic or prehistoric event(s) 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 the most
applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc.) or business
structure though in some cases a residence may qualify. It stresses the
importance of preserving those places which demonstrate the growth during
different time spans in the history of Boulder, in order to maintain an awareness
of our cultural, economic, social or political heritage.
4. Recognition by Authorities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, Inc., the
Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Barker, Crossen, Frink, Gladden,
Paddock, Schooland, etc.) F.L. Olmstead, or others in published form, as having
historical interest or value.

For the first 10 years the store was in a different
