RECOMMENDATION The Landmark Preservation Commission and staff recommend adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on December 14, 2005, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property as a landmark for its historical and architectural significance to Fort Collins under Landmark Standards (1) and(3). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of the property, John F. Leach, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the James House Property. The quaint Classic Cottage on the comer of Loomis and Laporte Avenues has continuously added to the historic nature of the West Side Neighborhood for over 98 years. An excellent example of Classic Cottage architecture with many stylistic details, the red brick dwelling retains a very high level of both architectural and historical integrity. BACKGROUND This one and a half story dwelling is constructed of double wythe red brick, laid in running bond. The Classic Cottage home sports a moderately pitched hip roof with boxed eaves. Intersecting gables are located on the west (fagade) and south elevations. Each of these gable ends contains imbricated shingles in a fishscale pattern. The south gable projects over a brick canted bay, featuring decorative brickwork and three one-over-one double hung windows. The centrally located open front porch has wooden balustrade railing and Tuscan columns and pilasters supporting the shallow-sloped hipped porch roof. Windows are predominately narrow, 1-over-1 double hung, with dressed sandstone sills and lintels. A historic shed-roof addition is located on the rear (east) elevation. A rear redwood deck and the front porch's circa 1985 balustrade rail are the only non-historic alterations of note. The first owners of this property were Booker B. and Georgia L. Case, who resided here in 1908. His father, Stewart Case, was the Larimer County Assessor, and Booker Case was employed as the Deputy County Assessor. By 1913, the brick dwelling had been purchased by George Alonzo "Lon" James, and his wife Martha. Lon James worked as a clerk for the Colorado and February 7, 2006 -2- Item No. 21 Southern Railway's roundhouse, located near what is today Riverside and Lemay Avenues. The couple had three sons living at home, Arthur C., who worked for the railway as a baggage handler, Frank, a rancher, and William H., a student. The family lived here for thirty years, until Lon's death in February, 1941. The early 1960s saw the beginning of the fifteen year residency of the Ortiz family. In 1968, Pete Ortiz was working as a broom salesman, while his wife, Manuela, was employed as a janitor for the Aggie Theatre. The current owners, John and Joan Leach, purchased the property in 2000, to serve as a residence for their sons while the boys attended Colorado State University. The couple anticipates relocating to Fort Collins, and plan to make this charming Classic Cottage their residence. ATTACHMENTS • Landmark Preservation Commission staff report dated December 14, 2005. Community Planning and Environmental Services Advance Planning Department City of Fort Collins LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION December 14, 2005 STAFF REPORT REQUESTS: Landmark Designation of the James House, 210 North Loomis Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado STAFF CONTACT: Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner APPLICANTS: John and Joan Leach, Owners. Significance and Physical Integrity: The James House at 210 North Loomis Avenue meets the criteria for Fort Collins Landmark designation for both Standards (1) and (3). This quaint Classic Cottage on the comer of Loomis and Laporte Avenues has continuously added to the historic nature of the West Side Neighborhood for over 98 years. An excellent example of Classic Cottage architecture with many stylistic details, the red brick dwelling retains a very high level of both architectural and historical integrity. An architectural survey of properties in the East Side and West Side Neighborhoods, conducted between 1997 and 2001, found this property to be individually eligible for Fort Collins Landmark designation, and, with the removal of the rear redwood deck, the home would likely qualify for individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Architectural and Construction History: The James House is an excellent example of masonry Classic Cottage architecture in Fort Collins, with minimal alterations. This one and a half story dwelling is constructed of double wythe red brick, laid in running bond. The home sports a moderately pitched hip roof, of green composition shingles, with boxed eaves. Intersecting gables are located on the west (fagade) and south elevations. Each of these gable ends contains imbricated shingles in a fishscale pattern. The south gable projects over a brick canted bay, featuring decorative brickwork and three one-over-one double hung windows. The centrally located open front porch contains a wooden balustrade railing. Tuscan columns and pilasters support the shallow-sloped hipped porch roof. Windows are predominately narrow, 1- over-1 double hung, with dressed sandstone sills and lintels. An older, historic shed-roof addition is located on the rear(east) elevation. Constructed of white painted boards,this addition contains vertically oriented, four-over-four light windows, in pairs and bands of three. A rear entry door provides egress to a non-historic redwood deck, with balustrade railing. Raised above the level of the rear year, the deck is supported by redwood piers, with four centrally located steps leading to the ground. This deck, along with the front porch's circa 1985 balustrade, are the only non-historic alterations of note on the building's exterior. Larimer County Assessor's records provide a year of construction for this dwelling of 1907. This date is corroborated by the Fort Collins City Directories. The home has undergone very little in the way of modifications or alterations. On February 2, 1925, a building permit was 281 North College Avenue • P.O.Box 580 • Fort Collins,CO 80522-0580 • (970)221-6376 FAX(970)224-6111 • TDD(970)224-6002 • E-mail:aplanning@fcgov.com issued to Lon James for unspecified remodeling to a porch. This work, which was expected to cost approximately$50, may have been to the home's rear porch. A second permit was obtained in September 1942, by Cecil A. Reddy, to reshingle the roof with wood shingles for$200. Advance Planning Department historic survey records indicate that a wood balustrade railing was added to the front porch sometime after 1983. Historical Information: The first owners of this home at 210 North Loomis Avenue were Booker B. and Georgia L. Case, who resided here in 1908. The home's location was likely very attractive to Mr. Case, as it sat diagonally across the street from his parents, Stewart C. and Lillian Case's home. At the time, Stewart Case was serving as the Larimer County Assessor. Booker Case worked directly under his father's supervision, as he was employed as the Deputy County Assessor. By the following year, Booker and Georgia Case had relocated to Loveland, where Booker continued in the capacity of Deputy County Assessor. Succeeding the Cases, the next residents were Joseph H. and Bessie Mosier, who briefly resided in this North Loomis home. According to the city directory for 1909, Mr. Mosier worked as an arc lighting repairman or representative. By 1913, the brick dwelling had been purchased by George Alonzo "Lon" James, and his wife Martha. Lon James worked as a clerk for the Colorado and Southern Railway's roundhouse, located near what is today Riverside and Lemay Avenues. The couple had three sons living at home, Arthur C., who worked for the railway as a baggage handler, Frank, a rancher, and William H., a student. The family lived here for thirty years, until Lon's death in February, 1941. Martha James preceded him in death, in April, 1936. Following the James family, 210 North Loomis was owned briefly by bus driver Lee E. Nelson and his wife Catherine, who resided here with their children through the mid-1950s. The early 1960s saw the beginning of the fifteen year residency of the Ortiz family. In 1968, Pete Ortiz was working as a broom salesman, while his wife, Manuela, was employed as a janitor for the Aggie Theatre. The couple had three children, sons Tom and Peter,born in 1951 and 1962 respectively, and daughter Ramona,born in 1954. Pete passed away on April 27, 1977. The current owners, John and Joan Leach, purchased the property in 2000, to serve as a residence for their sons while the boys attended Colorado State University. The couple anticipates relocating to Fort Collins, and plan to make this charming Classic Cottage their residence Recommendation: Staff recommends approving this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation of the James House, under Landmark Standards (1) and (3). A fixture of the West Side Neighborhood for over 98 years, the home is an excellent example of Classic Cottage architecture with many stylistic details,and retains a very high level of both architectural and historical integrity.
