EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The owner of the property, Rigden Farm, LLC, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark
designation for the Henry Jessup/Cal Johnson Farm Buildings. The buildings and structures are
architecturally significant as ex of 2 s agricultural farmhouse, with
associated farm structures.
History - The farm consists o iUcl 'dency,
a garage, a chicken coop, and
a bunk house. The Landmark Preservation Commission, at its May 12, 1999 meeting, determined
that these buildings and structures had sufficient architectural significance that they would retain
their eligibility for designation as a Fort Collins Landmark, even after being moved to their new
location at the center of the Rigden Farm development. The buildings and structures have been
relocated, in their same orientation and relative configuration, although somewhat closer together.
The move was accomplished with minimal damage, which has since been repaired. This damage
includes the loss of some bricks along the lower edges of the foundation of the house, and the
disintegration of one of the large barn doors The a licants have replaced both barn doors with
replicas, and the non-historic1C0
o i or.
