RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on January 10, 2007, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property as a landmark for its historical and architectural significance to Fort Collins. The property contains an historic house,garage and well;while all of these structures would qualify for Landmark designation, the owner has requested that, at this time, only the house and land be designated as a Landmark,facilitating the demolition of the garage and well,if needed,in the future. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of the property, Susan Winter, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the property. The Emma Brown/Susan Winter House qualifies for individual Landmark designation under Landmark Standards(1)and(3). The property has historic significance to the city for its ability to convey the Shields/Prospect district's historic use for "gentleman farming." The property is also eligible for designation for its architectural significance, as a nearly intact example of Vernacular Architecture with Craftsman elements. Surrounded by one-half acre ofmature landscaping,the property dates from the mid-1930s. The exterior integrity of the residence is very good, conveying all seven aspects of integrity: original location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. BACKGROUND The Brown/Winter House dates to circa 1933. The property was developed at that time by Dr. Thaddeus Brown, an active local physician during the 1920s and 1930s, evidently as a home for his widowed mother, Emma Brown. Brown maintained his own residence next door at 730 West Prospect Road (known as `Brownmar.") Dr. Brown was active in the Fort Collins medical community as a general practitioner throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and in 1923 was elected an officer of the Larimer County Medical Association. February 6, 2007 -2- Item No. 29 Indicative of the property's historic use as a gentleman farm during its earlier years,the front and rear yard areas surrounding the house are planted with mature landscaping and trees. The rear yard is particularly large. In 1949, the property included a 1/8 share of water from the Arthur Ditch, and consisted of 1/2 acre of farmstead and 1/2 acre of pasture. The residence exhibits many of the characteristic elements of the Craftsman style of architecture. This is most evident in the building's exposed rafters and purlins, its 6/1 double hung sash windows, and its multi-light front entry door. Additionally, its wall cladding material, of stucco over frame, is typical of the style, as is its higher foundation. The residence is a one-story, side-gabled, vernacular building that faces toward the south. The side-gabled roof is exhibits the historic gutters and downspouts. Two chimneys are present along the ridge line, both constructed of brick and finished with stucco. The main entry is approached by way of a flagstone patio in front of the home. The entry consists of the original 15- light wood door with flanking 10-light sidelights. An old wood storm door with 8 lights is also present. Other interesting original features include awood threshold,wood surrounds,and all of the early hardware. Records obtained from the Larimer County Assessor's office from 1949 and 1968 show that the house has changed very little. The only obvious alteration is that the opening now occupied by the front picture window was originally filled by a band of three 6/1 double hung sash windows, matching the band of windows still existing on the main body of the house. Additionally, the screened porch on the rear of the home appears to have been constructed prior to the mid-1960s. iaCommunity Planning and Environmental Services Advance Planning Department City of Fort Collins RESOLUTION 1, 2007 OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDING LANDMARK DESIGNATION OF THE EMMA BROWN/SUSAN WINTER HOUSE 720 WEST PROSPECT ROAD, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO WHEREAS, it is a matter of public policy that the protection, enhancement and perpetuation of sites, structures, objects, and districts of historical, architectural, or geographic significance, located within the city, are a public necessity and are required in the interest of the prosperity, civic pride and general welfare of the people; and WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council that the economic, cultural and aesthetic standing of this city cannot be maintained or enhanced by disregarding the historical, architectural and geographical heritage of the city and by ignoring the destruction or defacement of such cultural assets; and WHEREAS, the Emma Brown/Susan Winter House has individual significance to Fort Collins under both Landmark Standards (1) and (3), for its ability to convey the Prospect/Shield Street's historic use for gentleman farming, and as a noteworthy example of Vernacular Architecture with Craftsman elements; and WHEREAS, the Landmark Preservation Commission has determined that the Emma Brown/Susan Winter House meets the criteria of a landmark as set forth in Section 14-5 of the code and is eligible for designation as a Fort Collins Landmark; and WHEREAS, the owner of the property, Susan Winter, has consented to such landmark designation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of the property, Susan Winter, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the property. The Emma Brown/Susan Winter House qualifies for individual Landmark designation under Landmark Standards (1) and (3). The property has historic significance to our city for its ability to convey the Shields/Prospect district's historic use for "gentleman farming." The property is also eligible for designation for its architectural significance, as a nearly intact example of Vernacular Architecture with Craftsman elements. The exterior integrity of the residence is very good, conveying all seven aspects of integrity: original location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The property contains an historic house, garage and well; while all of these structures would qualify for Landmark designation, the owner has requested that, at this time, only the house and land be designated as a Landmark, facilitating the demolition of the garage and well, if needed, in the future. Significance and Physical Integrity: The property at 720 W. Prospect Road is eligible for individual designation under Standards (1) and (3) of the Landmark Preservation Code (Sec. 14- 5), for its architectural and historical significance. A very good example of Vernacular Architecture with Craftsman elements, the house is surrounded by one-half acre of mature landscaping. The property, which dates from the mid-1930s, conveys the Shields/Prospect district's historic use for "gentleman farming." This area, just south and west of the Colorado Agricultural College campus (now CSU), was occupied by hobby farms of generally one to two acres. These were owned by members of the Fort Collins community, many of them professionals, who wanted to enjoy both country life and the convenience of residing within minutes of the developed urban core of the town. Underscoring the property's significance for its past use as a small gentleman farm, the records show that in 1949 the property included a 1/8 share of water from the Arthur Ditch, and that it consisted of`/2 acre of farmstead and %a acre of pasture. A 20' x 48' poultry shed was located in the rear yard; it was demolished sometime prior to 1960. 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 The Brown/Winter House dates to circa 1933.

Additionally, a screened porch on the rear of the home appears to have been constructed prior to the mid-1960s. The porch consists of 2" x 4" open framework walls, and a shed roof finished with opaque corrugated plastic sheeting. Behind the house to the northwest is the original 14' x 24' garage. This rectangular wood frame building has a concrete floor, stuccoed walls, and gabled roof with asphalt shingles. Facing toward the unpaved driveway to the south is a pair of large wood swinging doors with six lights over three vertical panels. A secondary entrance found on the east elevation of the building contains an historic panel door. Projecting from the north wall of the building is an early shed- roof addition accessed through a panel door and containing one 6-light fixed window. The site further contains a brick-lined well, likely constructed c. 1933, at about the time that the residence was built. The well is a locally rare example of a once common historic resource. While the garage and well would qualify for inclusion in the Landmark designation, the owner has requested that, at this time, only the house and land be designated as a Landmark, facilitating the demolition of the garage and well, if needed, in the future. RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Landmark Preservation Commission finds that the Emma Brown/Susan Winter House at 720 West Prospect Road, is eligible for individual designation as a Fort Collins Landmark, having significance to our community under Landmark Standard 1 for its significance to Fort Collins in conveying the West Prospect/Shield Street's historic use for "gentleman farming," and under Standard 3, as a very good example of Vernacular Architecture with Craftsman elements, and that the Commission recommends that the Fort Collins City Council approve this designation.

The property contains a historic residence, a historic garage, and a brick lined well, all of which contribute to the property's architectural and historical significance. SIGNIFICANCE Properties that possess exterior integrity are eligible for designation as Fort Collins Landmarks or Fort Collins Landmark Districts if they meet one (1) or more of the following standards for designation: ® Standard 1: The property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history; ❑ Standard 2: The property is associated with the lives of persons significant in history; ® Standard 3: The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; ❑ Standard 4: The property has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The property at 720 W. Prospect Road provides an intact example of a Craftsman cottage and historic garage dating from the mid-1930s, surrounded by one-half acre of mature landscaping. The site further contains a brick-lined well, likely constructed c.1933, at about the time that the residence was built. The exterior integrity of both the residence and garage is very good, as both buildings convey all seven aspects of integrity: original location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The same may be said of the well, a locally rare example of a once common historic resource. The 1949 Assessor's records confirm that the home has changed little in the years since then. The property is eligible for individual designation under Standard 3 of the Landmark Preservation Code (Sec. 14-5), for its architectural significance. The property is also eligible for designation under Standard 1 of the Landmark Preservation Code (Sec. 14-5), as it conveys the area's historic use as "gentleman farms." This area,just south and west of the Colorado Agricultural College campus (now CSU), was occupied by hobby farms of generally one to two acres. These were owned by members of the Fort Collins community, many of them professionals, who wanted to enjoy both country life and the convenience of residing within minutes of the developed urban core of the town. Underscoring the property's significance for its past use as a small gentleman farm, the records also show that in 1949 the property included a 1/8 share of water from the Arthur Ditch, and that it consisted of%: acre of farmstead and '/2 acre of pasture. A 20' x 48' poultry shed was located in the rear yard; it was demolished sometime prior to 1960. Page 2 Revised 09-2004 HISTORICAL INFORMATION Historic Significance — The property at 720 W. Prospect Road dates to circa 1933. It was developed at that time by Dr. Thaddeus Brown, an active local physician during the 1920s and 1930s, evidently as a home for his widowed mother. Brown maintained his own residence next door at 730 W. Prospect Road for many years. This property was listed with an address of 704 W. Prospect Road from approximately 1938 to 1962. Since that time, it has been listed as 720 W. Prospect Road. According to the Larimer County Assessor, the home that remains on the property today was constructed in 1933. No records were found to confirm this exact date. However, the home is known to have been developed prior to 1938 when it was occupied by Mrs. Emma J. Brown and Dr. Ross H. Brown, who appears to have been Mrs. Brown's son. During the mid 1930s, the adjacent home to the west (730 W. Prospect Road, known as "Brownmar") was owned and occupied by Dr. Thaddeus C. Brown. Dr. Brown was active in the Fort Collins medical community as a general practitioner throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and in 1923 was elected an officer of the Larimer County Medical Association. It appears that his mother, Emma, had been widowed by the 1930s and required a home of her own. Sometime between 1933 and 1938, Dr. Brown constructed the residence at 720 W. Prospect Road for his mother. By 1940, following the Brown's ownership, the property was occupied over the next several decades by three successive families who were employed in the downtown retail and banking businesses. The first residents following the Browns were Jacques Gato and his wife, Dorothy. Jacques was the manager of Mode-O-Day, a women's clothing store in downtown Fort Collins. In 1948 and 1949, the house was owned and occupied by John C. and Ethel H. Turner, about whom nothing was found. From around 1952 to 1971, William Clark Springer and his wife Maude lived in the home. William worked as a teller at First National Bank from 1952 to 1960. He was then retired from 1962 to 1969, but returned to work as an employee at Al's News Stand in downtown Fort Collins in 1970 and 1971. Records obtained from the Larimer County Assessor's office from 1949 and 1968 (parcel #97140- 00-009) show that the house and garage at 720 W. Prospect Road have changed little since those years. The only obvious change is that the opening now occupied by the front picture window was originally filled by a band of three 6/1 double hung sash windows. These matched the band of windows still found on the main body of the house a little further to the west. On the rear of the home, the screened porch appears to have been constructed by the mid-1960s. Revised 09-2004 Page 3 ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION Construction Date: 1933 (est.) Architect/Builder: Unknown Building Materials: Stucco over frame Architectural Style: Craftsman Description: The house at 720 W. Prospect Road exhibits elements of the Craftsman style of architecture. This is most evident in the building's exposed rafters and purlins, its 6/1 double hung sash windows, and its multi-light front entry door. The residence is a one-story, side-gabled, wood frame rectangular building that faces toward the south, overlooking a front yard and Prospect Road. Covering the exterior walls is stucco, which appears to have been applied many decades ago. The building, measuring approximately 32' x 34', rests upon a raised concrete foundation. The side-gabled roof is finished with asphalt shingles and the perimeters exhibit exposed rafter ends, exposed purlins, and early gutters and downspouts. Two chimneys are present along the ridge line,both constructed of brick and finished with stucco. The main entry is approached by way of a flagstone patio in front of the home. Three concrete steps rise to the west-facing door, with a wrought iron handrail also rising along the south edge of the stairway. The entry consists of the original 15-light wood door with flanking 10-light sidelights. An old wood storm door with 8 lights is also present. Other original features include a wood threshold, wood surrounds, and all of the early hardware. The windows on the home mostly consist of 6/1 double hung sash windows with their original wood frames and surrounds. One 9/1 double hung sash window is also found on the facade, along with a large picture window with a metal awning. The basement contains 3-light and 6-light hoppers. In several locations, the original windows have been replaced with modern aluminum 9/1 double hung windows. All of the original wood surrounds remain in place. Due to their locations, the modern windows cannot be seen from the street or the front of the house. Projecting from the rear of the home is a screened porch consisting of 2" x 4" open framework walls and a shed roof finished with opaque corrugated plastic sheeting. This porch appears to have been on the home for a number of decades. A door enters the rear of the residence near its northwest corner. In this secondary entrance is an original wood panel door with one light over three panels. Behind the house to the northwest is the original 14' x 24' garage. This rectangular wood frame building has a concrete floor, stuccoed walls, and gabled roof with asphalt shingles. Facing toward the unpaved driveway to the south is a pair of large wood swinging doors with six lights over three vertical panels. A secondary entrance found on the east elevation of the building contains an old panel door. Projecting from the north wall of the building is an early shed-roof addition accessed through a panel door and containing one 6-light fixed window. Surrounding the home and garage, which are located on one acre of land, are front and rear yard areas planted with mature trees and landscaping. The rear yard is particularly large, and the size of the lot is indicative of the property historic use as a gentleman farm during its earlier years.

College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80522 Subject: 720 W. Prospect Rd. HISTORIC BUILDING ANALYSIS REPORT Dear Karen, I have completed the assessment, at your request, of the house at 720 W. Prospect Rd. in Fort Collins. This project, limited by budget and timing, involved the completion of basic archival research and field documentation designed to result in a preliminary determination of significance, integrity, and eligibility for local designation. The results of this study are therefore presented in the form of this historic building analysis report. Physical inspection of the property resulted in the following findings: The residence at 720 W. Prospect Rd. is a one-story, side-gabled, wood frame rectangular building that faces toward the south, overlooking a front yard and Prospect Rd.. Covering the exterior walls is stucco, which appears to have been applied many decades ago. The building, measuring approximately 32' x 34', rests upon a raised concrete foundation. The side-gabled roof is finished with asphalt shingles and the perimeters exhibit exposed rafter ends, exposed purlins, and early gutters and downspouts. Two chimneys are present along the ridge line, both constructed of brick and finished with stucco. The windows on the home mostly consist of 6/1 double hung sash windows with their original wood frames and surrounds. One 9/1 double hung sash window is also found on the facade, along with a large picture window with a metal awning. The basement contains 3-light and 6-light hoppers. In several locations, all on the sides and rear of the home, the original windows have been replaced with modern aluminum 9/1 double hung windows. All of the original wood surrounds remain in place. Due to their locations, the modern windows cannot be seen from the street or the front of the house. The main entry is approached by way of a flagstone patio in front of the home. Three concrete steps rise to the west-facing door, with a wrought iron handrail also rising along the south edge of the stairway. The entry consists of the original 15-light wood door with flanking 10-light sidelights. An old wood storm door with 8 lights is also present. Other original features include a wood threshold, wood surrounds, and all of the early hardware. Projecting from the rear of the home is a screened porch consisting of 2" x 4" open framework walls and a shed roof finished with opaque corrugated plastic sheeting. This porch appears to have been on the home for a number of decades. A door enters the rear of the residence near its northwest comer. In this secondary entrance is an original wood panel door with one light over three panels. Behind the house to the northwest is the original 14' x 24' garage. This rectangular wood frame building has a concrete floor, stuccoed walls, and gabled roof with asphalt shingles. Facing toward the unpaved driveway to the south is a pair of large wood swinging doors with six lights over three vertical panels. A secondary entrance found on the east elevation of the building contains an old panel door. Projecting from the north wall of the building is an early shed-roof addition accessed through a panel door and containing one 6-light fixed window. Surrounding the home and garage, which are located on one acre of land, are front and rear yard areas planted with mature trees and landscaping. The rear yard is particularly large, and the size of the lot suggests that the property was a small hobby farm during its earlier years. Although it is a modest example of early 2& century Fort Collins residences, and could be characterized as a vernacular cottage, the house at 720 W. Prospect Rd. exhibits elements of the Craftsman style of architecture. This is most evident in the building's exposed rafters and purlins, its 6/1 double hung sash windows, and its multi-light front entry door. Archival research, although limited by the project budget, completed to gainin a basic understanding of the history of this property. Theresearch following findings: The property under study was listed with an address of 704 W. Prospect Rd. from approximately 1938 to 1962. Since that time, it has been listed as 720 W. Prospect Rd. According to the Larimer County Assessor, the home that remains on the property today was constructed in 1933. No records were found to confirm this exact date. However, the home is known to have been developed by 1938 when it was occupied by Mrs. Emma J. Brown and what appears to have been her single son, Dr. Ross H. Brown. During the mid 1930s, the adjacent home to the west (730 W. Prospect Rd., known as "Brownmar') was owned and occupied by Dr. Thaddeus C. Brown. Dr. Brown was active in the Fort Collins medical community as a general practitioner throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and in 1923 was elected an officer of the Larimer County Medical Association. It appears that his mother, Emma, had been widowed by the 1930s and required a home of her own. Sometime between 1933 and 1938, Dr. Brown constructed the residence at 720 W. Prospect Rd. for his mother. By 1940, Emma Brown was no longer living in the house at 720 W. Prospect Rd., which had become occupied by Jacques Gato and his wife, Dorothy. Jacques was the manager of Mode-O-Day, a women's clothing store in downtown Fort Collins. In 1948 and 1949, the house was owned and occupied by John C. and Ethel H. Turner, about whom nothing was found. From around 1952 to 1971, William Clark Springer and his wife Maude lived in the home. William worked as a teller at First National Bank from 1952 to 1960. He was then retired from 1962 to 1969, but returned to work as an employee at Al's News Stand in downtown Fort Collins in 1970 and 1971. Records obtained from the Larimer County Assessor's office from 1949 and 1968 (parcel #97140-00-009) show that the house and garage at 720 W. Prospect Rd. have changed little since those years (see the photographs accompanying this report). The only obvious change is that the space now occupied by the front picture window was originally occupied by a band of three 6/1 double hung sash windows. These matched the band of windows still found on the main body of the house a little further to the west. On the rear of the home, the screened porch appears to have been constructed by the mid-1960s. The records also show that in 1949 the property included a 1/8 share of water from the Arthur Ditch, and that it consisted of acre of farmstead and '/2 acre of pasture. A 20' x 48' poultry shed located in the rear yard was demolished sometime prior to 1960. These details underscore the property's past use as a small hobby farm. The assessor's notes state that the construction date of 1933 was an estimate of age and not a known date of construction. By 1949 the home was already stuccoed and descriptions show that it has changed little in the years since then. In relation to the City of Fort Collins' Landmark Preservation Ordinance and the question of individual eligibility for designation, the following analysis is presented: Architectural Significance and Integrity — The property at 720 W. Prospect Rd. provides a modest but intact example of a Craftsman cottage and garage dating from the mid-1930s, surrounded by one acre of mature landscaping. The exterior integrity of both the residence and garage is good, as both buildings convey their original location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. Because of these characteristics, the property appears to be eligible for individual designation under standard 3 of the Landmark Preservation Code (Sec. 14-5). It is specifically eligible because "The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction." Historic Significance — The property at 720 W. Prospect Rd. dates to circa 1935. It was developed at that time by Dr. Thaddeus Brown, an active local physician during the 1920s and 1930s, evidently as a home for his widowed mother. Brown maintained his own residence next door at 730 W. Prospect Rd. for many years. This area, just south of the Colorado Agricultural College campus (now CSU), was occupied by hobby farms of one to two acres. These were owned by members of the Fort Collins community, some of them professionals, who wanted to enjoy both country life and the convenience of residing within minutes of the developed urban core of the town. Following the Brown's ownership and residence, the property was occupied over the next several decades by three successive families who were workers in the downtown retail and banking businesses. Based solely upon the property's connection with its owners and occupants, it does not seem to be eligible for designation. In relation to Dr. Brown, the residence next door to the west at 730 W. Prospect Rd. actually served as his home. Not enough is known about his career to determine whether the property might be significant due to its association with him, although it is known that his medical practice was located in downtown Fort Collins rather than at his house. The site may be determined individually eligible due to its hobby farm connection, although this may require additional research and writing to establish. If so, it can be stated that under standard 1 of the Landmark Preservation Code (Sec. 14-5), the property may be "associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of history." This concludes the assessment of the property at 720 W. Prospect Rd. If additional research or analysis is needed, or if questions arise based upon the comments provided in this report, please contact me at your convenience.
