AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: February 7, 2006
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Karen McWilliams
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 020, 2006, Designating the Lee House Property, 1530
Remington Street, as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
RECOMMENDATION
The Landmark Preservation Commission and staff recommend adoption of the Ordinance on
First Reading. At a public hearing held on January 25, 2006, the Landmark Preservation
Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property as a landmark for the
property's significance, under Landmark Standard (2), for its association with noted physician
and surgeon Dr. Robert Lee; and under Standard (3), as a distinctive and attractive example of
Modeme-influenced Ranch style domestic architecture dating from the mid 20'century.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of the property, 1530 Remington Limited Partnership, is initiating this request for
Fort Collins Landmark designation for the Lee House Property. The house is a distinctive and
attractive example of Modeme-influenced Ranch style domestic architecture, with excellent
integrity. Built in 1951, the dwelling was designed by Dr. and Mrs. Robert Lee. Dr. Lee was a
noted physician and general surgeon, who practiced in Fort Collins for over forty years. He
introduced many new surgical procedures to the medical staff of the Larimer County Hospital,
and campaigned for the establishment of Poudre Valley Hospital. Dr. Lee was a founder of the
Pioneer Nursing Home, and the couple were both active in numerous local and state civic and
professional organizations.
BACKGROUND
The Lee House has many distinctive Ranch and Moderne features. The home was built to
appear as a one-story dwelling from Remington Street, with a full basement level visible from
Prospect Road. The low pitched roof is comprised of flat red clay tiles. Walls are narrow
horizontal buff-colored brick, sometimes referred to as "Miami brick." The home's entrance is
set off by a stunning curved wall. This wall is built as a low, stepped side wall as it approaches
the entrance, but curves to join the front elevation, dropping nearly a full story to the ground.
The entry's wood veneer door contains a circular window, and is flanked by glass block
sidelights. Windows are a combination of horizontal fixed pane, fixed pane with casement, and
glass block. The yard is extensively landscaped and terraced through the use of brick and
concrete retaining and site walls, built of the same buff horizontal brick as the house. Adjacent
February 7, 2006 -2- Item No. 19
to the patio is a brick barbecue grill. Manufactured by the Hancock Iron Works of Pontiac,
Michigan, the fire box's iron front plate reads in part"Lee's Grill; Not OK'd By Duncan Hines."
Dr. and Mrs. Lee had very specific ideas on the house's construction. With the threat of the
Cold War pervading America at the time, the Lee's designed the home to potentially withstand a
bomb. Built with thick poured concrete walls and a concrete block foundation, the home boasts
a floor system consisting of two distinct several-inch-thick slabs of concrete, resting on heavily
reinforced supports. The house also features a fully enclosed room in the basement that could, if
needed, be used as a bomb shelter.
The Lees owned this home for nearly forty years. Dr. Robert Lee passed away on October 14,
1978. Following his death, his wife remained in the home until she was quite elderly. In 1983, a
few years before her death, she sold the home to Lloyd E. and Margery A. Spawn. Mr. Spawn
was a Certified Public Accountant, and operated his business from the home. Ten years later, on
June 30, 2003, David and Rita Merck purchased the home from the Spawns. David and Rita are
both Colorado natives, born to Colorado pioneer families. David's family lineage is from the
first settlers in the Johnstown and Berthoud area. Rita's family settled the Parker area. The old
family home was a stage stop that Buffalo Bill Cody stayed at several times. The couple
appreciates history, and endeavor to preserve this historic residence.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
(Please describe why the property is significant, relative to the Standard(s) above.)
The Lee House, at 1530 Remington Street, qualifies for individual designation as a Fort
Collins Landmark under Designation Standard (2), for its association with noted physician
and surgeon Dr. Robert Lee, and Standard (3), as a distinctive and attractive example of
Moderne-influenced Ranch style domestic architecture dating from the mid 20th century.
The house is complete unaltered, and retains excellent integrity. Constructed in 1951, the
dwelling was literally built to withstand a small bomb. The residence has many notable
Ranch and Moderne features, including red clay tile roof, narrow horizontal brick walls, an
entry door with circular window, and extensive use of glass block. The home was built to
appear as a one-story dwelling from Remington Street, with a full basement level visible
from Prospect Road. The home's entrance is set off by a stunning curved wall. Dr. Lee
was a noted physician and general surgeon, who practiced in Fort Collins for over forty
years. Dr. Lee introduced many new surgical procedures to the medical staff of the Larimer
County Hospital, and campaigned for the establishment of Poudre Valley Hospital. He was
a founder of the Pioneer Nursing Home, "one of the first more modern such facilities in Fort
Collins." Surveyed in 1998, the Lee House was found to be eligible for individual listing
both on the National Register of Historic Places and on the Colorado State Register of
Historic Properties, as well as for designation as a Fort Collins Landmark.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
(Please include city directory research and/or a title search if the property is important for
its association with a significant person.)
Built in 1951, this stunning home was constructed under the direction of builder Ralph
Bonham for the family of Dr. and Mrs. Robert M. Lee. Born in Arcadia, Nebraska in 1899,
Dr. Lee attended medical school at the University of Nebraska. Following his marriage to
Miss Elizabeth (Betty) E. Moore, a schoolteacher, on July 28, 1927, Dr. Lee studied at the
University of Pennsylvania, where he specialized in surgery. The Lees and their two young
children, Allen and Roberta, moved to Fort Collins in 1932. The family originally lived on
East Lake Street, where their third child, Dan, was born. As the family grew, along with Dr.
Lee's professional stature, the Lees determined to build a new home.
In March, 1945, the Lees purchased two lots from Gilbert H. Whiteford, with the conditions
"...that the said grantee, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns will not at
anytime hereafter erect or build or permit to be erected or built upon the premises above
described or any part thereof any building to be used for other than residential purposes;
and any such residence or residences shall be constructed at an actual cost of not less
than Five Thousand ($5,000) Dollars." The deed was witnessed by attorney Waldo
Riffenburgh.
Dr. and Mrs. Lee had very specific ideas on the house's construction. With the threat of the
Cold War pervading America at the time, the Lee's designed the home to potentially
withstand a bomb. Built with thick concrete walls and a concrete block foundation, the
home boasts a floor system consisting of two distinct several-inch-thick slabs of concrete,
resting on heavily reinforced supports. The house also features a fully enclosed room in
the basement that could, if needed, be used as a bomb shelter.
In addition to his own medical practice, Dr. Lee contributed to the community in other ways.
He brought with him many new ideas on surgical procedures, which he introduced to the
medical staff of the county hospital, and arranged for the construction of the Pioneer
Nursing Home, at 811 East Myrtle Street. Constructed circa 1960, the nursing home has
been praised as "one of the first more modern such facilities in Fort Collins." Dr. and Mrs.
Lee were both active in numerous civic and professional organizations, including the
American College of Surgeons and the Colorado Medical Association, as well as the
Pioneer Society, Masonic Lodge, and Kiwanis Club.
The Lees owned this home for nearly forty years. Dr. Robert Lee passed away on October
14, 1978. Following his death, his wife remained in the home until she was quite elderly.
In 1983, a few years before her death, she sold the home to Lloyd E. and Margery A.
Spawn, Mr. Spawn was a Certified Public Accountant, and operated his business from the
home. Ten years later, on June 30, 2003, David and Rita Merck purchased the home from
the Spawns. David and Rita are both Colorado natives, born to Colorado pioneer families.
David's family lineage is from the first settlers in the Johnstown and Berthoud area. Rita's
family settled the Parker area. The old family home was a stage stop that Buffalo Bill Cody
stayed at several times. The couple appreciates history, and endeavor to preserve this
historic residence.

ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION
Construction Date: 1951
Architect/Builder: Ralph Bonham, Builder; Art Brookman, Master Mason
Building Materials: Buff-colored brick over concrete; concrete block
Architectural Style: Ranch, with Moderne influences
Description:
This distinctive home, situated at the intersection of Prospect Road and Remington Street, is part
of a neighborhood of stately residences with large lots extending along both sides of Remington
Street north to the old Fort Collins High School. The Lee House is a rambling, irregular plan
Ranch-style home, with a low pitched hip roof and buff-colored brick and masonry construction.
Appearing as a one-story dwelling from Remington Street, the home, built at oblique angles to the
lot lines, includes a full semi-subterranean walkout basement, visible from Prospect Road. An
attached two-car garage, of the same buff-colored brick, is located on the northern elevation.
The home has many distinctive features. The roof, with wide overhanging boxed eaves, is
comprised of flat red clay tiles. A massive rectangular brick chimney pierces the roof at the
home's southern ridgeline. A second, quite tall squared brick chimney rises from the intersection
of the house and flat-or-parapet roofed garage. The chimneys, as well as all of the home's walls,
are faced with narrow horizontal buff-colored brick, sometimes referred to as "Miami brick." The
home's curved drive leads to an entrance reached by red painted or stained concrete steps and
set off by a stunning curved wall. This wall is built as a low side wall, topped with buff-colored
glazed tile at the entrance, but curves to join the front elevation, creating a wall that drops nearly
the full height of the basement level to the ground. This wall's curve forms the side of a planter
located by the entry door. This wood veneer door contains a circular window, and is flanked by
sidelights of two rows of glass block, separated with metal tracing. A metal screen/storm door
provides protection from the elements.
Windows are a combination of horizontal fixed pane, fixed pane with casement, and glass block,
set in wood frames and surrounds, with glazed tile sills. The home's horizontality is further
emphasized by a belly band of the same buff-colored glazed tile, marking the junction of the
home's two levels. On the south elevation, the walk out basement contains a deeply recessed
single entry door, reached by a reddish-colored aggregate concrete path. Legend has it that after
his retirement, Dr. Lee continued to still see some patients at his home, and used the basement
level as a private in-home clinic.
A nearly full length patio is located on the rear (eastern) elevation. The patio is recess under the
main roof, which is supported by metal poles. A flagstone floor leads seamlessly into the private
back yard. The yard is extensively landscaped and terraced through the use of brick and concreb
retaining and site walls; the brick walls are built of the same buff horizontal brick as the house.
Adjacent to the patio is a brick barbecue grill, apparently commissioned by the Lees.
Manufactured by the Hancock Iron Works of Pontiac, Michigan, the fire box's iron front plate read;
in part "Lee's Grill; Not OK'd By Duncan Hines."
