RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on June 14, 2006,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 owner of the property, Robert Mitchell, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the Reinholt/Mitchell House. The building is judged to be both architecturally and historically significant under Fort Collins Landmark Standards (2) and(3). The ReinholuMitchell House has tremendous architectural significance to Fort Collins as a rare and locally distinctive example of Prairie-influenced 20th Century Vernacular architecture, with very good integrity. Additionally, the residence is an excellent illustration of the elaborate work of noted Fort Collins master mason Leroy"Roy" Nye. BACKGROUND On August 18, 1924,Anna Nye received a permit for a four room brick house,to be constructed on the center fifty feet of Lot 13,Block 166. The cost for building the single-story brick dwelling was projected to be$3,000. Anna Nye was the wife of master mason and contractor LeRoy"Roy"Nye. A Fort Collins native, Roy Nye was born in 1884, on his parent's homestead near Arthur's Rock. Over a career that spanned more than fifty years,Nye designed and constructed many residences and several of Fort Collins'commercial and municipal buildings,including the addition to the Carnegie Library(now the Fort Collins Museum),the Camp Collins monument and the fountain,both located at the old Power Plant, and a portion of the water facility up the Poudre Canyon. Nye constructed the Reinholt/Mitchell House as a distinctive example of Prairie-influenced 20th Century Vernacular architecture in Fort Collins. The"four room and garage Spanish-type cottage" is a one story, square-plan brick dwelling with a symmetrical facade, on a high foundation. It features a unique roof design incorporating vertically projecting,rectangular piers or parapets at the walls' comers and centers, and flanking the front porch. Substantial wooden shed-roof awnings, supported by wooden knee-braces,are located over windows and entries. The main entry is a wide July 18, 2006 -2- Item No. 26 central bay, accessed by a wide four step brick stoop. Windows and main entry side lights feature elegant multi-light patterns influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Exemplifying Nye's skill as a master mason,three different brick types were utilized in the home's construction: a dark brownish brick for the foundation/above grade basement level,and for the main entry stoop;black- speckled yellowish colored brick,for the band between the basement and the main level, as well as for the slipsills and to cap the parapet piers; and smooth red brick for the exterior walls. Attached to the rear of the house is a lower height flat-roof brick extension, originally serving as a garage. This portion of the dwelling was remodeled into habitable space in 1998 and in 2004. The owners intend to renovate this remodel to create a more historically compatible appearance for the altered space. The home's first owners were Martin and Elta Reinholt. Employed by the federal government, Martin Reinholt moved to Fort Collins in 1923, working with Colorado State University and the University of Wyoming to acquire data on area ranches. In the mid-1930s,Martin's work with the government led to assignments in other states,and the Reinholts leased the home during these years. When Martin retired in 1949, the Reinholts returned to Fort Collins, moving back into their East Myrtle Street property. The couple resided here until Martin Reinholt's tragic death in an auto accident in 1961. For the next forty years,the residence served principally as rental property. The new owner of the residence is Robert Mitchell. Robert came to Fort Collins in 1996, when he opened European Motor Cars Inc. with his eldest son,John Mitchell. Robert and his wife Suzanne both grew up in historic southern cities, fostering their interest in historic architecture and preservation. Attracted by the unique design and historically important features of this Myrtle Street residence, the couple plans to rehabilitate and restore the property. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Significance and Physical Integrity: The Reinholt/Mitchell House has both architectural and historical significance to Fort Collins, under Landmark Standards (2) and (3). A very interesting and locally rare design, the building is an excellent example of the work of noted Fort Collins mason Leroy"Roy"Nye. The Reinholt/Mitchell House also has tremendous architectural significance to Fort Collins as an unusual example of Prairie-influenced 20th Century Vernacular architecture, with very good integrity. On August 18, 1924, Anna Nye received a permit for a four room brick house, to be constructed on the center fifty feet of Lot 13, Block 166. The cost for building the single-story brick dwelling was projected to be $3,000. Anna Nye was the wife of master mason and contractor LeRoy "Roy"Nye. A Fort Collins native, Roy Nye was born in 1884, on his parent's homestead near Arthur's Rock. Over a career that spanned more than fifty years,Nye designed and constructed many residences and several of Fort Collins' commercial and municipal buildings, including the addition to the Carnegie Library(now the Fort Collins Museum), the Camp Collins monument and the fountain, both located at the old Power Plant, and a portion of the water facility up the Poudre Canyon. Anna and Roy Nye owned all of Lot 13, Block 166. During 1924, Roy Nye also began construction on the two brick residences flanking the Reinholt/Mitchell House, at 511 E. Myrtle and at 600 Whedbee, the latter built as the Nye's own residence. The dwelling at 511 E. Myrtle was built as a minor image of the Reinholt/Mitchell House. Its building permit, still in existence, describes a"four room and garage Spanish-type cottage," further specifying that the one story brick home would measure 26 feet by 36 feet, with full basement, concrete walls and floors, a composition roof, and furnace heat. The Reinholt/Mitchell House is a very interesting and a rare Fort Collins example of Prairie- influenced 20th Century Vernacular architecture. The home is a one story, square-plan brick dwelling with a symmetrical fagade, on a high foundation.

Three different brick types were utilized in the home's construction: a dark brownish brick was used for the foundation/above grade basement level, and for the main entry stoop; black-speckled yellowish colored brick was used for the soldier course band between the basement and the main level, as well as for the slipsills and to cap the parapet piers; and smooth red brick was employed for constructing the exterior walls. Windows are predominately paired, in horizontal wood surrounds, with yellow speckled slipsills. Further testament to the home's craftsmanship, basement windows are horizontal one-by-one light windows in wood surrounds with semi- elliptical heads within the structural openings. Attached to the rear of the house is a lower height flat-roof brick extension, originally serving as a garage. This portion of the dwelling was remodeled into habitable space in circa 1998 and further remodeled in 2004. The materials on this addition, which consist of molded synthetic wide-lap vertical siding and a modern aluminum frame two-light sliding window, are incompatible with the original dwelling. The owners intend to remove these materials to create a more historically compatible appearance for the altered space. A small, gable roof storage building, built of vertical press-board siding, is located on the property behind the dwelling. Of recent construction, this building does not contribute to the architectural or historical significance of the property. The first owners were Martin and Elta Reinholt. Employed by the federal government, Martin Reinholt moved to Fort Collins in 1923, working with Colorado State University and the University of Wyoming to acquire data on area ranches. On June 10, 1924, he married Elta Eaton, and shortly thereafter, the couple purchased this Myrtle Street home. The Reinholts lived here until the mid-1930s, when Martin's work with the government led to assignments in other states. During these years, the Reinholts leased the home. In 1949 Martin retired, and the Reinholts returned to Fort Collins, moving back into their East Myrtle Street property. The couple lived here until Martin Reinholt's tragic death in an auto accident in 1961. For the next forty years,the residence served principally as a rental property. The new owner of the residence is Robert Mitchell. The father of two sons and a daughter, all now living in the Fort Collins, Greeley and Windsor areas, Robert came to Fort Collins in 1996,when he opened an automobile repair and sales business with his eldest son, John Mitchell. They own and operate European Motor Cars Inc., on Riverside Avenue. His wife, Suzanne, is a native of New Orleans where her father and brother were both in the construction and renovation business. Because Suzanne and Robert both grew up in historic southern cities, they are very interested in historic architecture and preservation. They were both taken by the unique design and historically important features of the Myrtle Street residence,which they plan to return as close to its original condition as feasible. RECOMMENDATION: Staff highly recommends approving this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation of the Reinholt/Mitchell House, under Landmark Standards (2) and (3). A very interesting and locally rare design, the building is an excellent example of the work of noted Fort Collins mason Leroy"Roy"Nye. The dwelling also has tremendous architectural significance to Fort Collins, as an unusual example of Prairie-influenced 20"' Century Vernacular architecture, with very good integrity.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The ReinholUMitchell House, at 509 East Myrtle Street, qualifies for Fort Collins Landmark recognition under Designation Standards 2 and 3. A very interesting and locally rare design, the building is an excellent example of the work of noted Fort Collins mason Leroy "Roy" Nye. During a career than spanned over fifty years, Nye designed and constructed many masonry residences and several of Fort Collins' commercial and municipal buildings. A brief list includes the addition to the Carnegie Library (now the Fort Collins Museum), the Camp Collins monument and the fountain, both located at the old Power Plant, the city's sewage disposal plant, and a portion of the water facility up the Poudre Canyon. Nye also carved the stone monument presented to Colorado A & M by the Class of 1907. The ReinholUMitchell House also has tremendous architectural significance to Fort Collins as a an unusual example of Prairie-influenced 20t" Century Vernacular architecture, with very good integrity. Designed by a master mason, the home's construction incorporated three different brick types. The dwelling features a unique roof design, incorporating vertically projecting, rectangular parapets at the walls' corners and centers, and flanking the front porch. Substantial wooden shed-roof awnings, supported by wooden knee-braces, are located over windows and entries. The main entry is a wide central bay, accessed by a wide brick stoop and flanked by projecting brick piers. Windows and main entry side lights feature elegant multi-light patterns influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Revised 09-2004 Page 2 HISTORICAL INFORMATION On August 18, 1924, Anna Nye received a permit for a four room brick house, to be constructed on the center fifty feet of Lot 13, Block 166. The cost for building the single- story brick dwelling was projected to be $3,000. Anna Nye was the wife of master mason and contractor LeRoy "Roy" Nye. A Fort Collins native, Roy Nye was born June 21, 1884, on his parent's homestead near Arthur's Rock. While attending Colorado A & M College (now CSU), Nye worked for a monument shop on East Mountain Avenue, which introduced him to his future trade. [His obituary indicates that the shop was located at 145 East Mountain; in 1902, Francis Mahoney operated a monument business at this location, suggesting that it may well have been this man who served as Nye's mentor.] During a career than spanned over fifty years, Nye designed and constructed many masonry residences and several of Fort Collins' commercial and municipal buildings. A brief list includes the addition to the Carnegie Library (now the Fort Collins Museum), the Camp Collins monument and the fountain, both located at the old Power Plant, the city's sewage disposal plant, and a portion of the water facility up the Poudre Canyon. He built the old Pioneer Museum, since demolished, training the men who cut the stone and carved the urns that once decorated the building. Nye also carved the stone monument presented to Colorado A & M by the Class of 1907. Anna and Roy Nye owned all of Lot 13, Block 166. During 1924, Roy Nye also began construction on the two brick residences flanking the Rein holt/MitchelI House, at 511 E. Myrtle and at 600 Whedbee, the latter built as the Nye's own residence. While 600 Whedbee utilized a light brick and did not employ the vertical parapet elements, the dwelling at 511 E. Myrtle was built as virtually a mirror image of the Reinholt/Mitchell House. Its building permit, still in existence, provides wonderful details. It describes a "four room and garage Spanish-type cottage," specifying further that the one story brick home would measure 26 feet by 36 feet, with full basement, concrete walls and floors, a composition roof, and furnace heat. Purchasing the property soon after the home's construction, the first owners of 509 East Myrtle Street were Martin and Etta Reinholt. Martin Reinholt was a native of Norway. In 1892, when he was ten, his family immigrated to the United States, settling near Sauk Center, Minnesota, where he attended school. Employed by the federal government, he moved to Fort Collins in 1923, working with Colorado State University and the University of Wyoming to acquire data on area ranches. Elta Eaton (Reinholt) was born November 10, 1893, at Grant City, Missouri. Following her graduation from the local high school, Elta attended Northwest Missouri's Teachers' College. She taught in Missouri and later in Larimer County. On June 10, 1924, the couple was married in Denver, and shortly thereafter, purchased their Myrtle Street home. The Reinholts lived here until the mid- 1930s. In 1936, Martin was responsible for soil conservation work for the government, purchasing eroded land in New Mexico to take out of production. He was then stationed in Amarillo, Texas from 1939 to 1942, followed by assignments in North and South Dakota from 1942 to 1949. During these years, the Reinholts leased 509 Myrtle Street, first to Wallace Johnson, a range conservator with the Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, and his wife Maureen; and later to Fagen D. and Rosa L. Alder. In 1949, Martin retired, and the Reinholts returned to Fort Collins, once again resuming residency of their East Myrtle Street property. The couple remained here until Martin Reinholt's tragic death in 1961, from an auto accident. He was 79 at the time of his death. By 1963, the home stood vacant. For the next forty years it served principally as a rental property, occupied primarily by CSU students and young professionals. The new owner of the residence at 509 East Myrtle is Robert Mitchell. He was born September 27, 1946, a native of Atlanta, Georgia. He attended the University of Tennessee and is the father of two sons and a daughter, all now living in the Fort Collins, Greeley and Windsor areas. Robert came to Fort Collins the summer of 1996, when he opened an automobile repair and sales business with his eldest son, John Mitchell. They own and operate European Motor Cars Inc., on Riverside Avenue. His wife, Suzanne, is a native of New Orleans where her father and brother were both in the construction and renovation business. Because Suzanne and Robert both grew up in historic southern cities, they are very interested in historic architecture and preservation. They were both taken by the unique design and historically important features of the Myrtle Street residence, which they plan to return as close to its original condition as feasible.

Three different brick types were utilized in the home's construction: dark brownish brick was used for the foundation/above grade basement level, and for the main entry stoop; black-speckled yellowish colored brick was used for the soldier course band between the basement and the main level, as well as for the slipsills and to cap the parapet piers; and smooth red brick was employed for constructing the exterior walls.
