RECOMMENDATION The Landmark Preservation Commission and staff recommend adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on March 10, 2004, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property as a landmark for its historical and architectural significance to Fort Collins. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owners of the property,Don L,and Margaret Webber,are initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the Honstein/Johnson House, Carriage House, Pool and Pump House. The buildings and structures are individually eligible for landmark designation under City of Fort Collins Landmark Preservation Standards 2 and 3, for their association with the lives of Dr. C. E. Honstein,a distinguished Fort Collins physician,and with noted educator and former Superintendent of Schools, Don Webber; and for their architectural merits as excellent examples of a vernacular colonial revival dwelling and carriage house, with very good integrity; also significant under Standards 2 and 3 are the metal swimming pool,likely the earliest residential swimming pool to be constructed in Fort Collins, and its associated pump house. BACKGROUND The Dr.C.E Honstein House/Diane Louise Johnson Cultural Center,located at 1024 West Mulberry Street,was built as a residence in 1940 by Dr.C.E.Honstein and his wife Clara. Three years earlier, they had built a two-bay garage with an upstairs residence on the property(now 520 Wayne Street). Dr. Honstein had his medical office at the Fort Collins Clinic, located at 109 West Olive. The couple had one daughter, Betty Jo. In 1947, Pat and Edna Griffin purchased the Mulberry Street residence for their home. Mr. Griffin, who later became a prominent Fort Collins businessman as owner of the Pat Griffin Company, was employed with Phillips 66 during that year. The Griffins made a few alterations to the home and to the grounds during their ownership. The most interesting change occurred in 1948, when the Griffins sunk a large square gasoline tank into their backyard and converted it into a swimming pool for their daughter Anell, creating what is likely the earliest residential swimming pool in Fort Collins. The metal pool is still functional, and it and the pump house are significant historic elements of the property. April 6, 2004 -2- Item No.18 The Griffins owned the property until 1963,when it was sold to Thomas and Minor Kelley. In 1970, Don and Margaret Webber purchased the property. Mr.Webber is a noteworthy Fort Collins citizen, recognized for his outstanding contributions to education and to the Poudre R-1 School District. He began his career as a teacher, coach, and later, principal at Wellington High School, from 1956- 1960. In 1960, he moved to an administrative position with the Poudre School District and later became the Superintendent of Schools for the district in 1971. Mr. Webber held that position for 13 years, until he retired in 1984. Webber Junior High is named in his honor. Don and Margaret Webber had three children, Don, Margaret and Diane. Diane, a flight attendant for Delta, died in an airplane crash in Dallas,Texas in August of 1985. In her honor,the Webbers are converting their home at 1024 West Mulberry Street into a cultural center,to be named for her. Upon offering their home for the cultural center,the Webbers took up residence in the home's associated carriage house, at 520 Wayne Street. The Honstein/Johnson Carriage House was built in 1937 by Dr. C.E. Honstein and his wife Clara, three years before the primary residence on Mulberry was erected. The building was constructed as a two-bay garage with a residence above. From the late 1940s on,the carriage house was leased. The Webbers remodeled the carriage house in 2002-2003. The upstairs was originally built as a two bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment,with living room and kitchen. The Webbers converted the kitchen into an office and the living room became a master bedroom. The lower level two car garage was made into a combination kitchen, dining and living area. Ground level storage areas became a bathroom and a laundry.

The center will be a place for groups of 12 or less may have a meeting, free of charge, by contacting the Webbers and making an appointment or reservation. Kitchen facilities are available. The carriage house remodeling began early in 2002 and the Webbers had the work completed by the spring of 2003. : The upstairs was originally built as a 2 bedroom, living room, kitchen and 1 bath- room apartment. The kitchen was changed to an office, and the living room was changed to the master bedroom and the 2 bedrooms remained the same. The lower level 2-car garage and storage rooms were made into a combination kitchen, dining and living area. Storage areas became a bathroom and washer-dryer rooms. The exter for and grounds were changed some by the Griffin family. A swimming pool was installed (below ground) for their daughter Anell in 1948. Her hand print can be seen in the concrete. Under ground sprinkler systems were also installed by the Griffins. 2 gas station flood light poles remain in the back yard. The gazeebo was built by the Webber' s son, Don, in 1975-76 as a high school graduation gift to his parents and dedicated on July 4, 1976, the day he left to attend West Point Military Accademy.

Mulberry and refurbished the interrior rooms to allow Fort Collins citizens to use it for small gatherings,. It will be open to groups free of charge by calling and making a reservation using our phone number. They may not use drugs, alcohol or smoke on the property. The kitchen may'-.be used to have coffee and to serve the food which the group has purchased and brought to the cultural center. The exterior of the home is and will remain as it has been in appearance since it was built and landscaped in 1940. Only a small plaque near the front door will designate the building as The Diane Louise Johnson Cultural Center, a memorial to our daughter who was killed in a Delta Airlines plane crash on August 2, 1985, at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. We began working on the property in September of 2001 clearing overgrown areas of unwanted trees and shrubbery which has been neglected over the years by renters. We planted grass to fill in these areas. We not only refurbished the house but we have remodeled the carriage house on the same lot to be our home. We therefore, will be able to supervise and control the activi- ties at the cultural center. We fully intend to preserve the character of the area and the neighborhood and will do everything possible to protect all who live in the area from any disturbances. We have a property manager who will assist and take over when we need help. We also have a 19 member board of directors which include our daughter and son and their spouses and our 4 grandchildren as well as 9 volunteer members of the community.
