RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. The Landmark Preservation Commission met on February 25,2004 to approve the Resolution recommending designation of this property for its architectural and historical importance, and this recommendation was forwarded to Council under separate cover. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of the property, Sue Walker, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the Aaron Kitchel House,601 West Mountain Avenue. The home is significant for it architectural importance,being a good example of vernacular masonry Queen Anne architecture in Fort Collins; and is significant for its historical importance due to its association with Aaron Kitchel, Civil War veteran, pioneer farmer of Larimer county and former County Commissioner. The garage does not contribute to the historic and architectural character of the Property and is not being designated. Historical Importance — Aaron Kitchel was born April 23, 1842, in Lake County, Indiana. In August, 1862, he enlisted as a volunteer in the 23rd Iowa Infantry and served all through the war in many battles, being wounded at Millikens Bend, serving in Sherman's March to the Sea, and receiving an honorable discharge July 26, 1865, at Galveston, Texas. Mr. Kitchel married Mary Hart at Indianola, Iowa, in 1868. He came with his family to Colorado in 1879 and located on a homestead situated six miles east of Fort Collins (at Highway#14 and east of I-25, the land is now the site of the Kitchel Farms Subdivision). He was a successful farmer, served as a Commissioner for Latimer County for three years, and was always one of its foremost and highly respected citizens. Architectural Importance—The Kitchel House is a vernacular masonry Queen Anne dwelling, built of brick with rough-cut stone foundation, sills and lintels. The 11/2 story house is a good example of the eclecticism of the late Victorian era, with many interesting stylistic characteristics. Although the basic plan is rectangular, this house has an irregularly shaped appearance due to the hipped roof with another hip roof projecting from it,dormers on three elevations,a substantial brick bay window on the east elevation, a wood projecting entry on the west elevation, and a main entrance at the northeast front comer of the house that is unusual in Fort Collins. Matching dormers on the north and west elevations are historic through-the-roof dormers, while the east elevation March 2, 2004 -2- Item No. 21 dormer was added before 1948. Also,by 1948,the historic front porch had been removed from the house and an overdoor and concrete stoop had been added to the front door at the northeast corner entrance. In addition to the windows with rough-cut stone sills and lintels, other windows have stone sills and brick segmental arches in the Victorian style. Houses situated on corners were of higher design,importance, and detailing. This corner house retains its charm as a pioneer home of Queen Anne design.

The owner of the property, Susan Walker, is initiating this request for Local Landmark designation for the Aaron Kitchel House, 601 West Mountain Avenue. The home is significant for it architectural importance, being a good example of vernacular masonry Queen Anne Cottage architecture in Fort Collins; and is significant for its historical importance due to its association with Aaron Kitchel, Civil War veteran, pioneer fanner of Larimer county and former County Commissioner. The garage does not contribute to the historic and architectural character of the Property and is not being designated. Historical Importance—Aaron Kitchel was bom April 23rd, 1842, in Lake County, Indiana. In August, 1862, he enlisted as a volunteer in the 23`d Iowa Infantry and served all through the war in many battles, being wounded at Millikens Bend, serving in Sherman's March to the Sea, and receiving an honorable discharge July 261h, 1865, at Galveston, Texas. Mr. Kitchel married Mary Hart at Indianola, Iowa, in 1868. He came with his family to Colorado in 1879 and located on a homestead situated six miles east of Fort Collins (at Hwy. #14 and east of I-25,the land is now the site of the Kitchel Farms Subdivision.) He was a successful farmer, served as a Commissioner for Larimer County for three years, and was always one of its foremost and highly respected citizens. Architectural Importance—The Kitchel House is a vernacular masonry Queen Anne dwelling,built of brick with rough-cut stone foundation, sills and lintels. The 1 1/2 story house is a good example of the eclecticism of the late Victorian era, with many interesting stylistic characteristics. Although the basic plan is rectangular,this house has an irregularly shaped appearance due to the hipped roof with another hip roof projecting from it, dormers on three elevations, a substantial brick bay window on the east elevation, a wood projecting entry on the west elevation, and a main entrance at the northeast front comer of the house that is unusual in Fort Collins. Matching dormers on the north and west elevations are historic through-the-roof dormers, while the east elevation dormer was added before 1948. Also, by 1948, the historic front porch had been removed from 281 North College Avenue • P.O.Box 580 • Fort Collins,CO 80522-0580 • (970)221-6376 FAX(970)22A-6111 • TDD(970)224-6002 • E-mail:aplanning@fcgov.com the house and an overdoor and concrete stoop had been added to the front door at the northeast comer entrance. In addition to the windows with rough-cut stone sills and lintels, other windows have stone sills and brick segmental arches in the Victorian style. Houses situated on corners were of higher design, importance, and detailing. This corner house retains its charm as a pioneer home of Queen Anne design. Additions/Chances: The house has had early additions/changes that date before 1948, but the house's exterior appearance has not changed since the 1948 tax assessor's photograph. • A small wood west entry with no foundation was added (existed in 1925.) • The wrap-around corner porch was removed as was the historic front door. • Back porches were removed(existing in 1925), and a non-historic infill comer porch built. • The east roof dormer was added obviously to make the upper floor habitable and satisfy fire access and safety codes. Despite these changes, the vernacular masonry building with Victorian details has good integrity. The asymmetrical elevations, irregular shape, steeply pitched hipped roofs, segmental brick arched lintels, flat-arch stone sills and lintels, steeply hipped roof protruding bay window, rough-cut stone foundation, and modest size mark this house in the Vernacular Queen Anne Cottage style of architecture. It is one of perhaps only three or four houses in Fort Collins with a unique comer entry, one of them being the designated David Watrous House at 301 S. Loomis. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the request for designation of the historic Aaron Kitchel House, 601 West Mountain Avenue.

I would have written sooner,but its been pretty busy around here. I have enclosed information about my great-grandfather from a proportion of the genealogy book I am writing on the Kitchel family. The picture and information come from two earlier books, one published by George McCormick and the other published by Deloris Kitchel Clem and Dwain L. Kitchel. I have also enclosed several pages of notes that I have compiled on Aaron's descendants, I hope these may be of some use. The book by Deloris and Dwain has several pages of addresses current as of 1989,but I haven't had a chance to go over it in detail. If I come across any additional information or pictures I will gladly pass them along to you. Again thank you for the information.

He was a U.S. Senator from New Jersey and a warm friend and counselor of General George Washington, on his staff and was one of his pall bearers. He is buried in the Churchyard Cemetery at Hanover,New Jersey. For 36 years he was a member of the state legislator,the national congress and the senate, on the commission of forfeited estates of Tories and on the commission that established the Northwest territory. He was the son of Joseph. The Crane Family Mansion in Cranetown was once used by Gen. George Washington as his headquarters From The Genealogy of the Crane Family Vol. II by Ellery Bicknell Crane, 1900: WILLIAM CRANE-4, (Nathaniel-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1), married 1st, Wheeler, of Newark; 2d, Mary (or Mercy) . He resided in that part of Newark called for many years Cranetown, then West Bloomfield,now Mont Clair, NJ, and was a subscriber for the purpose of hiring a minister to preach the Gospel there. He was overseer of the poor from 1753 to 1756 inclusive, and of highways from 1760 to 1764; freeholder, 1767. He may have inherited property here from his father, and possibly succeeded to the home estate; of that,however, we are not certain,but the notable Crane mansion occupied by him or his family during the period of the war of the Revolution, still standing at the junction of Valley road and Clairmont avenue, was his home, and occupied about three weeks by Gen. Washington as his headquarters, Gen. Lafayette being with him. The time of occupation doubtless being from the later week in October to about the middle of November, 1780. While those two great generals were making Mr. Crane's house their home, he with four if not five of his sons were performing soldiers' duties in the army of which they were the commanders. It is related by Rev. Oliver Crane, D.D.,LL. D.,that on the arrival of Gen. Washington at the house, Mercy Crane then in charge, and causing supper to be prepared, discovered she had no tea to serve, and becoming quite disturbed about it offered an apology to the General for the lack of what might seem to him an important feature of his repast. "Never mind,my good lady," replied His Excellency, "please have a crust of bread toasted and use it for tea,that is good enough for me." Mrs. Crane's anxiety was thus dispelled, and supper was served.Night came on, and the capacity of the house for beds was overtaxed, the lower back room selected by the two generals for their use,had been used for the dining-room,the deficiency of beds then was thereupon made known to the General, who rejoined, "But there is plenty of straw in the barn, is there not?" The straw was soon brought in and spread in one comer of the room, and the two famous generals retired to rest,wrapped in their army blankets, http://www.rootsweb.com/—genepool/njrevol2.htm 1/5/2004 The Gene Pool Colorful Families:Name Page 2 of 2 on that bundle of straw. The British are Coming! (the Horseneck Version) From The Genealogy of the Crane Family Vol. H by Ellery Bicknell Crane, 1900: ZADOC CRANE-5, (William-4,Nathaniel-3,Azariah-2, Jasper-1),b. 1758; m.; no children; d. 1841. Gen. Washington had an old gray horse which was almost as well known as its rider. Zadoc Crane, one of the Revolutionary Fathers, took care of the old gray when Washington was at Cranetown, in New Jersey. While Zadoc took care of the horse,the family entertained Washington, and waited upon him with a finely Japanned server. This server, though the Japanning is all worn off, was brought to the Fair to exhibit in Bric-a-brac,by Mrs. Emma Fasshaber,whose father was Zadoc Crane's uncle. Those were times famous for having tried men's souls,and it was absolutely necessary to exercise the greatest care and vigilance. The oats fed to Washington's horse were kept concealed under a stack of hay, and every time Zadoc got a mess from under it he replaced the hay nicely, and after feeding,he carefully picked up every scattered straw for fear the British might nose the oats and "cabbage" them. During the time Washington was occupying "Cranetown Gap," as he styled it,the alarm came that the British were about to make an attempt on the American lines in their somewhat insecure position, and desiring to be in readiness to meet such a movement should it be made, and not feeling at this critical moment that he had a man to spare from the ranks,he called for volunteers outside of those in the service to act as couriers to warn the minute-men living beyond the so called "first - and second mountains," covering the region between the Passaic River and the second mountain, including Horseneck,Pine Brook, Swinefield, etc. Zadoc, a son of William,who had been lame from boyhood, offered to assume the difficult and perilous undertaking. Although lame, on leg being shorter than the other,was well able to ride on horseback, and soon appeared mounted on his own spirited horse, and armed with a heavy cutlass,this being his only weapon;just as the sun was disappearing behind the mountains, under special orders from the General,he set out on his important errand. It was a ride for the night, calling at every house and routing them from their slumbers. As the gray of the morning began to show itself, he was marching his men toward the Crane mansion, and just at daybreak drew up his squad in front of the doorstep, on which stood Gen. Washington for the purpose of inspecting them. "Well done,my man," was the salute of His Excellency. "Now come in and take a horn of whiskey, for you must need it."

Reference to Caleb & Mercy(Parkhurst) BALL parents of Marie Phoenice Keziah Ball The first of the family to come to this country was Robert Kitchell, who landed at New Haven in 1639,his wife being Margaret Sheaffe, daughter of Rev. Edward Sheaffe, of Cranbrooke, Kent, England. They left England April 20, 1639, with a company of Puritan refugees,led by Rev. Henry Whitfield, in the first vessel, The Arabella,that anchored in the harbor of Quinnipiac,now New Haven, Conn. Robert Kitchell was born in England in 1604, and died in 1672. His wife died in 1682. While on shipboard the Plantation Covenant was signed, in which the Puritans agreed to remain together, the first name to the Covenant being that of Mr. Robert Kitchell,the "Mr." designating him as a"Gentleman Commoner," or some such rank of sub-noble dignity. They soon settled at Guilford. These settlers were generally men of character, culture and substance, several of them being of University training, and Robert Kitchell held a large place among them in all trusts and dignities. Samuel Kitchell,his son, married Grace Pierson, daughter of Rev. Abraham Pierson, pastor of the Guilford Church. Laxness of views spreading through the colony, Dr. Abraham Pierson was asked by the "Fundamentalists," as they classified themselves,to find a new home for them and their church. He first organized a church at Southampton,Long Island, and then, going to the territory now occupied by Newark,N.J.,he secured this for his people and sent word to them to come down as a Colony and Church, Samuel Kitchell,his son-in-law,being with him there from the first, as one of the founders of Newark. The Guilford Church and people became re-established at Newark, and Dr. Abraham Pierson became the first pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark. Robert Kitchell became known as "the benefactor of Newark." Dr. Pierson's son, Dr. Abraham Pierson, was his assistant and successor as pastor, and became founder and first President of Yale College,his statue in bronze now standing on the campus. The daughter, Grace Pierson Kitchell,wife of Samuel, is the mother of all the American Kitchells. The Kitchell family grew into a large and influential family in New Jersey and other states, becoming associated by marriage with many other prominent and influential families, as Tuttle, Fan-and, Baldwin,Houghton, Gardner, Willis, Land, Pierson, Mulford, Sayre, Peck,Bruen, Lindsley, Howard and others. Abraham Kitchell, son of Samuel and Grace Pierson Kitchell, was bom at Newark in 1679 and died December 12, 1741. He married Sarah Bruen,who was born in 1679 and died April 20, 1745, daughter of John and Esther Laurence Bruen, and they had four sons and three daughters: Samuel, born 1704 and died November, 1732; Joseph,bom 1710 and died December 24, 1789,who married Rachel Bates, who died December 24, 1789; John,bom 1714, and died January 9, 1777,who married Marie Phoenice%ziah Ball, daughter of Caleb Ball and Mercy Parkhurst; David, born 1723 and died December 26, 1753, who married Ruth Tuttle,who was bom 1713, and died April 4, 1780; Grace,who married Benjamin Lindsley; Mary Allis, who married Paul Leonard;Abigail, who married Edmund Crane. Daniel Kitchell, son of John and Keziah Ball Kitchell, came to Cincinnati in 1788 and his name http://www.rootsweb.com/—genepooVkitchell.htm 1/5/2004 Miscellaneous Notes about the KITCHELL family of NJ Page 2 of 2 stands as the first of the eight charter members who organized the First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati, in 1790. The family that descended from this Daniel Kitchell,changed the name to Kitchel, for some reason, and carry this as the family name. President H. D. Kitchel, of Middlebury College, chose this spelling, although Robert Kitchell, who signed the Plantation Covenant, certainly knew how the name should be spelled. Daniel Kitchel, early pioneer of Cincinnati had one son, Samuel, and one daughter,Phebe, who married Hezekiah Flint, and had a large family. Samuel Married Margaret Kennedy, daughter of Francis and Rebecca Kennedy.Their children were: Daniel,bom in Cincinnati, in 1795, and died in Union County, Ind., in 1855;Phebe married William Goldtrap; Mary married Joshua Druce; John died in 1839; Rebecca married Andrew Davison and Julia married Elisha Walden.
