The property was recently determined by the Chair of the Landmark Preservation Commission (Chair) and the Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services (Director) to be eligible for individual designation as a Fort Collins Landmark under Landmark Standard C. An appeal of this determination has been filed with the Director. APPLICANT: Joyce Taylor Hinnant Trust, by Joyce Hinnant OWNER: Joyce Taylor Hinnant Trust EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Landmark eligibility of the property at 1509 South Shields Street was reviewed on March 12, 2015 by the Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services (Director) and the Chair of the Landmark Preservation Commission (Chair), pursuant to Section 14-6 of the Municipal Code. Based upon the available information, the Director and Chair determined that the property is eligible for individual designation as a Fort Collins Landmark under Landmark Standard C (Design/Construction). Pursuant to Section 14-6(b), the decision of the Director and Chair may be appealed to the Landmark Preservation Commission. In accordance with the code, on March 24, 2015, the property’s owner, Joyce Hinnant, provided a letter to the Director appealing the decision regarding the eligibility of this property. Additionally, the City has received the required Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form, prepared by Jason Marmor of Retrospect (attached). The applicable Standards for the Commission to use in determining the of the eligibility of this property are contained Section 14-5 (attached). In making a determination of eligibility, the Commission should consider both the property's significance and its exterior integrity, as well as context. The Commission should then adopt a motion stating its findings as to the individual eligibility of the building to qualify as a Fort Collins Landmark. 1 Packet Pg. 2 Agenda Item 1 Item # 1 Page 2 ATTACHMENTS 1.

Primary external roof material: Asphalt/Composition (shingles) 20. Special features: Porch, chimney 21. General architectural description: Located on the west side of South Shields Street a short distance north of its intersection with Prospect Street, this 0.71-acre residential parcel contains a virtually unmodified, single story, wood frame Modern house constructed in 1947. The form of the house appears to be a blend of the Contemporary and Shed subtypes of Modern-style American houses as defined by architectural historians Virginia and Lee McAllister (1988:482-485). The house rests on a concrete foundation, with a partial basement, and its wood-framed walls are clad with what appears to be wide clapboard siding. Its distinctive features are opposing, sloped shed roofs clad with composition shingles and covering different sections of the house. The building is composed of four original sections, including: 1) a large, nearly square-plan, main mass covered by a shed roof that slopes downward toward the dwelling’s rear (west) end; 2) an enclosed front porch that is of lower-height than the main mass with a shed roof that descends to the façade (east); 3) a narrow shed-roof enclosed rear porch attached to the rear/west end of the main mass; and 4) an attached, flat- or nearly flat-roofed, two bay garage on the north side of the house. The facade, or east side of the house, which includes the main entry, is a low, rectangular plan, enclosed and glazed front porch covered by a shed roof that slopes downward toward the façade. The main entry is placed at the far right (north) end of the façade, and is accessed via a simple set of concrete steps. A ribbon of four tall fixed single light windows are placed directly adjacent to the main entry and occupy a large span of the facade. The north end of the enclosed front porch lacks window openings, while the opposite, south end is fenestrated with solitary fixed windows at each corner. An interesting feature of the house is the use of tall, narrow louvered panels, suggestive of stylized shutters, placed adjacent to one side of the windows installed on the front and south elevations of this enclosed front porch. These louvered panels are only placed on the front section of the house. A massive chimney made of thin red tile bricks rises from the roof of the enclosed front porch. The enclosed front porch is attached to the main mass of the dwelling, which is a relatively large, square-plan or nearly square-plan structure covered by a shed roof, the slope of which is oriented opposite to the slope of the shed roof over the front porch section. The tallest, east end of the main mass rises above the peak of the front porch roof, providing a space for two 1 x 1 light, clerestory windows. The fenestration of the rest of the house is varied, including tandem and solitary 1/1 light, double-hung windows, and three-part windows with large fixed light central sash flanked by narrow 1/1 double-hung units. A narrow rear lean-to “addition” is attached to the rear of the house. The attached garage is a low-slung, flat-, or nearly flat-roofed room attached to the north elevation of the dwelling’s main mass. The stucco-covered garage is equipped with two separate wooden, tilt-up garage doors – one per parking bay. The house is plain in terms of design, with no applied ornamentation. Its exterior appears to be in very good, well-maintained condition. 22. Architectural style/building type: Modern – Shed Style (McAllister and McAllister 1988:484) 1.c Packet Pg. 8 Attachment: 1509 S Shields Arch Inventory Form by Jason Marmor (3053 : 1509 South Shields Street - Appeal of Determination of Landmark Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form 5LR.13776 23. Landscaping or special setting features: This house is situated on the west side of South Shields Street, a short distance north of its intersection with West Prospect Street. An asphalt- paved U-shaped driveway provides access to the house and to the attached garage with concrete apron on the north side of the house. Numerous mature evergreen and deciduous trees are established on the lot, including two tall blue spruce trees in the lawn-covered area adjacent to South Shields Street, and other large trees near the south lot line and in the expansive, lawn-covered back yard. A red sandstone flagstone walkway extends due west from the back of the house. Three very large cottonwood trees in the backyard as well as others on the adjoining property to the south may be remnants of an agricultural windrow associated with earlier agricultural land use of this area that was formerly in the Fort Collins hinterlands. The lot, which is 300 feet deep, is much larger than a typical pre-1950 urban residential lot, and the property features a very large backyard. 24.

Construction history (include description and dates of major additions, alterations, or demolitions): Available documentation indicates that this house was constructed in 1947. (Note: The property is not listed in the City of Fort Collins Building Permit Log Book for the years 1920-1950, evidently because the Maxfield Subdivision was outside the city limits in the late 1940s). No exterior alterations or additions are evident. 30. Original location ___X____ Moved _______ Date of move(s): N/A V. HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS 31.

Historical background: The Modern-style house located at 1509 S. Shields Street was reportedly constructed in 1947, shortly after the platting, in October 1946, of the Maxfield Subdivision. Platted by R.A. Maxfield of Fort Collins, the Maxfield Subdivision encompasses approximately 14.83 acres of land on the northwest side of the West Prospect Street/South Shields Street intersection. The subdivision was divided into 14 lots of varying shapes and sizes (varying from 0.20 acre to 1.59 acres in size), and included five lots 80 – 88.8 feet wide 1.c Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: 1509 S Shields Arch Inventory Form by Jason Marmor (3053 : 1509 South Shields Street - Appeal of Determination of Landmark Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form 5LR.13776 and 300 feet deep, fronting on South Shields Street; six lots, 107 feet wide and from 401.2 and 407.2 feet deep, fronting on West Prospect Street; and finally, three larger, irregular-shaped lots occupying the western end of the subdivision. At the time it was platted, the Maxfield Subdivision was located outside of the Fort Collins city limits, in unincorporated Larimer County. It was later annexed at an undetermined date to the City of Fort Collins. Development of the Maxfield Subdivision commenced immediately after its platting, and nine of the 14 properties were constructed between 1946 and 1948, including the parcels containing 1509 S. Shields Street. Each parcel appears to have been individually developed by each owner rather than with a coordinated design and construction plan. A copy of the 1946 subdivision plat, and tables identifying all of the properties in the Maxfield Subdivision, are appended to this site form. The dwelling at 1509 S. Shields Street was first owned, and possibly was built for, the Rudolph family, comprised of Richard Rudolph and his wife Hilda. According to the current owner, Joyce Hinnant, the Rudolphs lived in the basement during its construction, and it may have appeared to be a “basement house” for a brief period of time until the above-grade portion of the house was constructed. Richard Franklin Rudolph was born on September 5, 1897, however, his birthplace was not identified. He married Hilda M. Mathias on August 12, 1925, and the couple produced one child – a daughter, Shirley Ann Cornell, who was born on June 15, 1926, and was evidently married by the time her parents moved into the S. Shields Street house. Richard Franklin owned and operated a small business called the Rudolph Pump & Equipment Company, located at 316-320 Jefferson Street in “Old Town” Fort Collins. Rudolph’s company offered a variety of services, including well drilling [presumably water wells], pump installation, and custom field spraying. Hilda Rudolph was also employed in the family business, which operated between 1945 until Richard’s retirement in 1978. Following their retirement in the late 1970s, the Rudolphs continued to reside at 1509 S. Shields Street, but within a few years they divided the home into two living units; they occupied one half while a series of tenants rented the other portion of the house. It is possible that the house’s basement served as the rental apartment, and as a rental property it benefitted from its close proximity to Colorado State University. The Rudolph family occupied the house for approximately 45 years, from 1947 to 1992. Richard Rudolph passed away on May 24, 1985 (Note: neither Richard nor his wife Hilda are buried in any of Larimer County’s cemeteries). Subsequently, the S. Shields Street home was sold in September of 1992 by Hilda Rudolph to Joyce and Rick Hinnant, who have retained ownership for 23 years as of now (2015). 36.

Area(s) of significance: Not Applicable 40. Period of significance: Not Applicable 41. Level of significance: National State Local 42. Statement of significance: The single family dwelling located at 1509 S. Shields Street is an interesting and unusual example of domestic architecture in Fort Collins from the Post-World War II period (1945-1969). Domestic architecture in Fort Collins during the postwar period comprised a variety of new, abundantly replicated forms, such as the Minimal Traditional, Cape Cod, Split Level, and Bi-Level styles and types (Harris and Thomas 2011). Still other “Modern” forms also appeared in lesser numbers during this period, including the low slung, one-story “Contemporary Style” house, with flat, sloped, or very low-pitched gabled, as well as the “Shed Style” characterized by multi-section buildings covered by opposing shed roofs. The Rudolph House at 1509 S. Shields is one such example, which may be somewhat unusual due to its relatively early construction date (1947). Anecdotal evidence and observation suggest that houses and other buildings with opposing shed roofs appear to be more common in the 1960s and 1970s; architectural historians Virginia and Lee McAllister (1988) suggest a time range of 1960-Present. In any event, a survey of architectural styles of houses in Fort Collins from the postwar period would be required to accurately assess how many of Shed Style houses exist and when they were built. The Rudolph House was not found to be historically significant. While associated with the context of post-World War II expansion and development of Fort Collins, the house is one of numerous scattered properties that were products of this trend. This historically important trend in Fort Collins history is better represented by new, cohesively designed subdivisions that contain numerous similar properties, such as Reclamation Village and Circle Drive. The original and long-term owners of the property – Richard and Hilda Rudolph – led uneventful lives as owners of a small well drilling and pump business in Fort Collins, and would not be considered to have played a significant role in Fort Collins’ recent history. For the reasons detailed above, the Rudolph House at 1509 S. Shields Street is evaluated as not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: The dwelling’s exterior appears to be virtually unchanged, and it therefore retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. However, buildings that are largely unchanged and retain excellent integrity are not necessarily eligible for the NRHP, SRHP, or for local landmark designation unless they also embody significance per the relevant eligibility criteria. VII. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44. National Register (individual) eligibility field assessment: Individually Eligible Not Individually Eligible X Need Data 45.

Yes _ No X 1.c Packet Pg. 12 Attachment: 1509 S Shields Arch Inventory Form by Jason Marmor (3053 : 1509 South Shields Street - Appeal of Determination of Landmark Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form 5LR.13776 Discuss: The Maxfield Subdivision contains fourteen properties, some of which front on West Prospect Street, and some of which front on Shields Street. The parcels are varied in size and are much larger than most typical urban residential parcels, and on Prospect Street the setback of houses varies considerably. Additionally, the properties contain houses with varied architecture. Because of these combined factors, the Maxfield Subdivision would not qualify as a historic district under National, State, or local eligibility criteria.

Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of our history; ______ B. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; ______ C. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or ______ D. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. ___X__ Does not meet any of the above criteria Discuss: The Rudolph House would not qualify as a Fort Collins Local Landmark based on its association with the historical trend of Post-World War II Development in Fort Collins (1945-1969), because it was located outside the city limits when originally built, and the subdivision of which it is a part – the Maxfield Subdivision – was not a planned neighborhood. Postwar residential development in Fort Collins (and in numerous other American towns and cities) was mainly manifested by the design and construction of new neighborhoods filled with “modern” homes, such as the Sheely Drive, University Acres, or Circle Drive neighborhoods, and these sorts of developments may effectively represent and convey significance from association with this historical trend. Consequently, the property would not individually qualify as a Fort Collins Local Landmark, nor as part of a potential historic district under Criterion A. The property is also evaluated as not eligible for Local Landmark designation under Criterion B. The original and long-term owners of the property – Richard and Hilda Rudolph – led uneventful lives as owners of a small well drilling and pump business in Fort Collins, and would not be considered to have played a significant role in Fort Collins’ recent history. In terms of Criterion C, American mid-20th century residential architecture in Fort Collins is varied, and includes distinctive forms/types such as Minimal Traditional, Cape Cod, Split Level, and Bi-Level. In the 1960s additional new house forms appeared in American towns and cities, namely the Contemporary and Shed styles. Each of these different house types/styles have different attributes. Some common elements of mid-20th century modern residential architecture in Fort Collins include low profile (single story) building forms; bi-level or split level building forms; low to very low-pitched gable roofs; massive interior and exterior chimneys; large fixed picture windows; metal frame casement windows, and attached garages. 1.c Packet Pg. 13 Attachment: 1509 S Shields Arch Inventory Form by Jason Marmor (3053 : 1509 South Shields Street - Appeal of Determination of Landmark Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form 5LR.13776 The Rudolph House can be classified as an anomalous, early example of the Shed Style, which, according to architectural historians Virginia and Lee McAllister, became a widely replicated style in America during the early 1960s, and drew inspiration from the work of innovative architects including Charles Moore and Robert Venturi. Shed Style houses typically feature multi-directional, or opposing shed roof-covered sections, sometimes in combination with gable-roofed sections, and convey the impression of what the McAllisters (1988:484) call “colliding geometric shapes.” Shed Style houses are commonly clad with board siding, applied horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, as well as either brick veneer or wood shingles. Such houses often have minimal roof overhang; entries may be recessed and hidden; windows are typically small and asymmetrically placed. The overall effect is bold diagonals, counterpointed shapes, and multiple massing (McAllister and McAllister 1988). The Rudolph House exhibits some characteristics of the Shed Style (it lacks a recessed entry and small, asymmetrically placed windows) and it may be considered a variant of the style. No information was found to identify the architect responsible for the design of the Rudolph House; therefore, it is not known to be the “work of a master.” Due to its early (1947) construction date, this house does not fit well into the architectural style chronology developed by McAllister and McAllister, nor is its style (the Shed Style) mentioned in the historic context for Post-World War II Development in Fort Collins. In other words, this house is an architectural anomaly, and would not be considered typical or representative of postwar residential architecture in Fort Collins. While associated with the context of post-World War II expansion and development of Fort Collins, the house is one of numerous scattered properties that were products of this trend. This historically important trend in Fort Collins history is better represented by new, cohesively designed subdivisions that contain numerous similar properties, such as Sheely Drive, Reclamation Village and Circle Drive. As detailed above, the Rudolph House is not an important example of an architectural style or building type; neither is it known to be the work of an architect or master builder whose individual work has influenced the development of the city; and no evidence was found to suggest that the design of this house is a significant example of architectural innovation. Consequently, the property would not qualify as a Fort Collins Local Landmark under Criterion C. IX. RECORDING INFORMATION 47. Photograph numbers: 1509 S.
