COUNCIL - AGENDA ITEM - 11/21/2006 - FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 187, 2006, DESIGNAT
ITEM NUMBER: 11 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: November 21, 2006 FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Carol Tunner SUBJECT First Reading of Ordinance No. 187, 2006,Designating 133-137 South College Avenue(the North Half of the Colorado Building) as a Local Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. The Landmark Preservation Commission,in a public hearing on October 25,2006,approved Resolution 7,2006 recommending designation of this property for its architectural, historical, and geographical importance to Fort Collins. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of the property, Ida Siegel, through her son Ed Siegel, as attorney-in-fact, is initiating this request for Local Landmark designation for 133-137 South College Avenue, the north half of the Colorado Building. The building has individual significance to Fort Collins under Landmark Preservation Standards (1), (2), and (3). BACKGROUND The Colorado Building was designed by prominent Fort Collins architects, Montezuma Fuller and Arthur M. Garbutt. Both architects are credited with the design of many of Fort Collins' major buildings in the first decade of the twentieth century. While Fuller was the city's first professionally trained architect, Garbutt went on to open a highly successful practice serving both Cheyenne and Casper, Wyoming. The Colorado Building was commissioned by two important citizens of early twentieth century Fort Collins: Dr. W.A. Kickland and J.C. Douglass. Kickland was one of the community's early physicians, who set up a very successful practice in Fort Collins and was at the forefront of the movement to expand medical care in Larimer County. James Douglass achieved success in the coal and transfer business, and invested in commercial real estate in the burgeoning community of Fort Collins:he owned a half interest in the Colorado Building. The large building was a major addition to the College Avenue commercial corridor, and was intended to serve primarily as an office building for physicians. After the establishment of the Larimer County Hospital (now Poudre Valley Hospital), most local physicians relocated their offices nearer to that facility, and other professional tenants (including dentists, insurance agents and lawyers) gradually replaced the doctors in the Colorado Building's second floor office spaces. The ground floor was occupied by a variety of commercial enterprises. November 21, 2006 -2- Item No. 11 According to city directories, Damm's Bakery and Wolfer's Market, both in an assortment of incarnations,occupied the two northern storefronts. Wolfer's Market operated at 137 South College Avenue from the building's opening to 1941,when they moved south on College Avenue. In 1908, Albert Damm, a German immigrant,bought Charles Christman's Confectionary shop at 133 South College Avenue and continued this with his bakery business,which lasted until 1936. The Damm's Bakery ghost sign on the north side, second floor of the Colorado Building was possibly painted in the 1920's or early 1930's, one of the city's earliest ghost signs, by Stewart Case. The bakery's telephone number was easy to read—this was still the era of asking the operator to connect you with "Sherwood 29", instead of direct dialing. In 1942, Julian's moved from its location at 114 South College to the Wolfer's Market space. Mr. Siegel had hired a prominent Chicago architect to design a shop equal to the finest in Denver,and Julian's"Smart Fashions"had another renaissance. Its Art Deco storefront still exists. This type of architecture had its demise throughout the country when owners of quality clothing stores rebuilt to give themselves more floor space for displaying merchandise. To staff's knowledge, the Julian's storefront may be the only such storefront remaining in the country. hi circa 1957, ownership of the northern half of the building changed hands from Earl Douglass to Julian Siegel. From 1942 until 1985, Julian's shared the Northern half of the street level Colorado Building with Hughes Men's Wear. In 1985,Mr. Siegel rented both his store and the adjacent shop to Pat Tally, owner of Life of the Party. In 2003, the Northern-most space was rented to Jimmy John's restaurant; and in November 2006, Life of the Party moved to a new location on East Mountain. For nearly one hundred years,the Colorado Building has been a prominent landmark in the College Avenue commercial corridor. Its enduring presence continues to add to the overall character and charm of downtown Fort Collins. Ida Siegel,widow of Julian, still owns the northern half of the building. Today, she and her son Ed are about to restore the building to its appearance in the heyday of Julian's beginnings to both honor their loved one and to preserve a unique period of American history in general and Fort Collins history in particular. ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE Constructed in 1906, the Colorado Building is an imposing two-story brick commercial building situated on the west side of South College Avenue in downtown Fort Collins, between Mountain Avenue and Oak Street. It is flanked on the north and south sides by one story commercial buildings. These one story buildings on either side of the Colorado Building allowed for the painting of a `Ghost Sign' on the north elevation. Thought to be painted in the late 1920's or early 1930's,the ghost sign is an advertisement ad for the famous Damm's Bakery. The sign can still be read fairly well despite weathering and pollution. As already noted, Damm's Bakery was located in the Colorado Building for a number of years. This sign is not only significant of the building's history, but it shows the character of"Old Town Fort Collins." The symmetrically arranged fagade is constructed of buff-colored brick laid in stretcher bond. The flat parapet roof is crowned by a projecting cornice decorated with acanthus leaf modillions and dentils. Below the cornice is a repeating raised brickwork pattern of inverted terraced triangular elements with dentils running the length of the fagade. The second story is fenestrated with eight November 21, 2006 -3- Item No. 11 symmetrically disposed square windows,each having a flat arch lintel formed of radiating segments of soldier course brick. The central `keystone' of each lintel is formed of projecting brick. The northern four windows appear to be original,and consist oftandem double-hung one-over-one wood sash units, separated by a central mullion, each with a fixed multi-pane lead-glass transom above. The ground floor of the building features a recessed central (main) entry with an elliptical arched opening formed of radiating brick. Above the arch is a terra cotta panel bearing the building's name in block letters: `COLORADO BUILDING.' This main entry accesses a short tile-covered stairway leading to a grand staircase with a landing midway. In 1991, Mr. Siegel's son, Ed, beautifully restored/remodeled the offices on the building's second floor. Directly north of the central entry remains the unique former Julian's storefront, at 137 South College Avenue. It features a distinctive white marble signboard and gracefully inward-curving display windows, the tops of which are also sheathed in white marble with elegant black Carrara glass kick panels. These display windows flank a deeply recessed entry leading to an aluminum- framed glazed door. The entry floor, paved with high quality terrazzo, includes the famous `Julian's' name to this day. The entrance at 133 South College Avenue features a terraced,recessed entry of glazed display cases leading to a single light sash door flanked by sidelights. The tops of these display cases are clad in milled wooden panels with molding designs and the kick panels have been covered with wood panels to match those above. As noted, the building's storefronts have been altered at various times in conjunction with the installation and improvement of its various stores and offices. Despite changes made to the ground floor,overall,the Colorado Building retains a substantial degree of exterior integrity and commands attention as an imposing element of the South College Avenue streetscape.

This nomination is for the north half of the building only, addressed as 133-137 South College Avenue. 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 Colorado Building at 133-137 South College Avenue meets the criteria for Fort Collins Landmark Designation under Standards (1), (2), and (3), as it is both architecturally and historically significant for the City of Fort Collins. Commissioned by Dr. A.W. Kickland and J.C. Douglass, it is a noteworthy example of commercial architectural design by the collaborative effort of two important Fort Collins architects: Montezuma Fuller and Arthur M. Garbutt. The building's design is a skillfully executed example of Twentieth Century Commercial Style employing symmetry and brickwork details to create a dignified and monumental combination commercial and office building. The building is also the back drop for a 'Ghost Sign', a painted advertisement from over fifty years ago. The old fashioned billboard is an ad for Damm's Bakery which was located in the Colorado Building from 1908 until 1936. Prior to the establishment of the Larimer County Hospital (now Poudre Valley Hospital), the building was home to medical practitioners and later various other professionals. It is also significant for its association with the rapid expansion of the "New Town" commercial district along the College Avenue corridor during the early twentieth century, when it became the home of various commercial endeavors, most notably the well-known Julian's (est. 1924), owned and operated by Julian Siegel, offering the highest quality women's fashions of that era. Revised 09-2004 Page 2 HISTORICAL INFORMATION The Colorado Building was designed by prominent Fort Collins architects Montezuma Fuller and Arthur M. Garbutt. Both architects are credited with the design of many of Fort Collins' major buildings in the first decade of the twentieth century. While Fuller was the city's first professionally trained architect, Garbutt went on to open a highly successful practice serving both Cheyenne and Casper, Wyoming.

After the establishment of the Larimer County Hospital (now Poudre Valley Hospital), most local physicians relocated their offices nearer to that facility, and other professional tenants (including dentists, insurance agents and lawyers) gradually replaced the doctors in the Colorado Building's second floor office spaces. The ground floor was occupied by a variety of commercial enterprises. In 1914, the south street level side of the Colorado Building was occupied by Edmond's Dry Good Store. Most notably, McDonald's Department Store owned by Frank Johnson used the building from 1938 until the late 1970's when this portion of the building was abandoned for a number of years. Then in 1997 Old Chicago's Restaurant breathed a new life for this side of the Colorado Building. According to city directories, Damm's Bakery and Wolfer's Market, both in an assortment of incarnations, occupied the two northern storefronts. Wolfer's Market operated at 137 South College Avenue from the building's opening to 1941, when they moved south on College Avenue. In 1908, Albert Damm, a German immigrant, bought Charles Christman's Confectionary shop at 133 South College Avenue and continued this with his bakery business which lasted until 1936. The Damm's Bakery ghost sign on the north side, second floor of the Colorado Building is believed to have been painted in the 1920's or early 1930's, one of the city's earliest ghost signs, by Stewart Case. The bakery's telephone number was easy to read — this was still the era of asking the operator to connect you with "Sherwood 29", instead of direct dialing. In 1942, Julian's moved from its location at 114 South College to the Wolfers Market space after Wolfers moved south of town. Mr. Siegel had hired a prominent Chicago architect to design a shop equal to the finest in Denver, and Julian's "Smart Fashions" had another renaissance. Its art deco storefront still exists. This type of architecture had its demise throughout the country when owners of quality clothing stores rebuilt to give themselves more floor space for displaying merchandise.

For nearly one hundred years, the Colorado Building has been a prominent landmark in the College Avenue commercial corridor. Its enduring presence continues to add to the overall character and charm of downtown Fort Collins. Ida Siegel, widow of Julian, still owns the northern half of the building.

The central 'keystone' of each lintel is formed of projecting brick. The northern four windows appear to be original, and consist of tandem double- hung one-over-one wood sash units, separated by a central mullion, each with a fixed multi-pane lead-glass transom above.

Before his arrival in Fort Collins, he had immigrated in 1913 from a village in Poland to Pensacola, Florida where his sister and her husband's family had founded the Pensacola Dairy Company. Working long and hard hours delivering milk, he contracted a pulmonary illness. The family doctor urged him to go to Colorado for treatment. In no time, the climate alone cured him. He arrived here in Fort Collins in 1924 with nothing but the "shirt on his back," fifty- cents and a pioneering spirit with the hopes of developing a successful business and raising a family. He became a boarder at the home of Frank Chaffee at 202 Peterson Street. (Mr. Chaffee had a long history in Ft. Collins and is recorded as having been the first Caucasian born in Larimer County!) To get started he went door-to-door selling shoes from a catalog. Unable to pay his rent, the Chaffees welcomed him to stay as long as it would take to get on his feet. He soon saw that there was a need for quality women's clothing in Fort Collins. A friend in Denver, Jack Lopata, owner of Morton's Women's Wear, sent him a suitcase of eight fine dresses which he was able to sell. Soon he was able to afford renting a small upstairs office of one room and then two rooms in the Alpert Building on the East 100 block of South College. He hired Leta Greene as a saleslady and opened a shop called Julians. With a sign outside stating "Walk up ten steps and save $10," he quickly became successful enough to open a street level shop at 114 S. College. In 1935, he hired the architect remodeling the May Company in Denver to remodel his store. In his new store, he introduced fluorescent lights and air conditioning to Fort Collins. Folks would come in just to see the lights! In 1933, Mr. Siegel married a Denver girl, Ida Silverman. Together, they raised three children, Harold, Edward, and Marsha, in a home he built at 502 Wayne Street. His dream was to have the very finest shop in Northern Colorado. His friend and fellow Mason, Earl Douglass, who owned the Northern half of the Colorado Building, offered him the opportunity to create a larger store at 137 South College. Mr. Siegel hired a respected architect in Chicago, William J. Klein, who had designed Dupler's, the finest fur coat store in Denver. Mr. Klein asserted that the new Julian's would be the finest store in the west. At its grand opening in 1942, the new Julian was indeed the finest shop around, attracting customers from throughout Northern Colorado and Southeast Wyoming. When Foothills Mall opened on South College, downtown business went into a marked decline. Mr. Siegel retired Julian's after 53 years of business, his business coming in second only to Toliver-Kinney Hardware as the oldest downtown business under one name. Throughout his life in Fort Collins, he was very well-known, respected, and active in community life. He could be counted on to substantially support any charitable drive. For over fifty years, he was very active in the Fort Collins Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce. He chaired the Community Chest (now United Way), led the U.S. Bond Drive to help support our efforts in World War II, and chartered the Boy Scouts Troop at Washington Elementary School. Early on, he and Reverend Harold McMillan of the Congregational Church personally walked the streets and persuaded several local restaurateurs to remove their"Whites Only" signs. As President of the Fort Collins Masonic Lodge Association, where he was a 32 degree Mason, he successfully led a drive to stave off foreclosure on the mortgage of their magnificent Classical Style building at Oak and Howes Streets. He was a charter member of the Fort Collins Country Club, and one of the early significant financial supporters for building the Lincoln Center for the performing Arts. On December 27, 1970, the Fort Collins Coloradoan, in a rare lengthy tribute, proclaimed in its headline, "Fort Collins was put together by men like `Good Old Julian."' His son Ed Siegel, M.D., as a child also had a significant role in Fort Collins. As a child prodigy, he played the piano frequently at KCOL on Uncle Jack Hitchcock's Children Hour. At age eight, he was appearing on talent shows at the America Theater. One of his favorite anecdotes is that his father once told him(while chairman of the Community Chest), "son, if you win and they ask you what you're going to do with the money, tell them that you're going to donate it to the Community Chest and I'll double your winning." He won second prize and took up his father's proposition. This made the news in the Coloradoan the following day! He also appeared in a few editions of the popular "Stars of Tomorrow" talent shows sponsored by the Lions Club. While a student at C.U., he often spent time helping with his father's business, and remains actively interested in Fort Collins. Recently, he was featured with Katie Couric on the NBC Today Show as part of his national campaign to make our National Anthem more sing able by lowering its key. The New York Times included this idea as one of the most significant ideas of 2004. He is presently practicing psychiatry in Solana Beach, CA where a song he co-composed was selected by their city council as the Official City Song. He is presently on the faculty at the University of California-San Diego and is a Commissioner of Public Art. At this time, the project closest and dearest to his heart is to restore the Julian's space to a high quality store that will portray what Julian's has meant to Fort Collins, and to participate in the Historic Landmark Designation process of both Julian's and his family's portion of the historic Colorado Building, Written by Ed Siegel, October 2006 DAMM'S BAKERY GHOST SIGN: • Located on the 2"d floor, north side of the Colorado Building, 133 S.

CONSTRUCTION HISTORY(include description and dates of major additions,alterations,or demolitions): The Colorado Building was originally constructed in 1905 or 1906 The structure has been repeatedly altered in conjunction with the installation and improvement of stores an offices over time. Some of the more significant changes to the Colorado Building in dude a remodel in 1923,a front remodel in 1933,and an unspecified remodeling in 1937, Also on record are store remodeling in 1942 and again in 1949 for the Julian's retail space,other limited remodelings(probably interior only)in 1937 and 1939,repairs after fires made in 1946 and 1947,and a remodeling for the Brown-McDonald Store in 1938. There have been additional changes made to the building after 1950, including an unspecified remodel in 1968,and remodeling for the Old Chicago pizza restaurant which involved removal of a portion of the front wall. HISTORICAL aACNGROUN0(discuss important persons and events associated with this building):The Colorado Building was designed by prominent Fort Collins architects Montezuma Fuller and Arthur M.Garbutt,who also collaborated on the design of Y.M.C.A.(Later the Elks Club)building at 140 East Oak Street. Both architects also are credited with the design of numerous major buildings in Fort Collins during the first decade of the twentieth century,and Garbutt later opened a highly successful practice in Cheyenne and Casper,Wyoming. The Colorado Building was commissioned by two important citizens of early twentieth century Fort Collins:Dr.W.A.Kickland,and J.C.Douglass Kickland was one of the community's early physicians who set up a very successful practice in Fort Collins and was at the forefront of the movement to expand medical care in Latimer County. James Douglass achieved success in the coal and transfer business,and invested in commercial real estate in the burgeoning community of Fort Collins;he owned a half interest in the Colorado Building. The large building was a major addition to the College Avenue commercial corridor,and was intended to serve primarily as an office building,primarily for physicians. The ground floor of the Colorado Building was occupied by a variety of commercial enterprises,including Damms Bakery,Julian's women' clothing store(operated by Julian Siegel)from ce. 1942 to at least 1969,and McDonald's department store from ca. 1938 to the late 1970s. After the establishment of the Latimer County Hospital(now Poudre Valley Hospital)most local physicians relocated their offices nearer to that facility,and other professional tenants eventually replaced doctors in the Colorado Building's second floor office spaces. For ninety years,the Colorado Building has been a prominent landmark in downtown Fort Collins and the College Avenue commercial corridor.

It is a noteworthy example of commercial architectural design by the collaborative effort of two important Fort Collins architects: Montezuma Fuller and Arthur M.Garbutt. Fuller designed a number of landmark commercial,residential,ecclesiastical,and institutional buildings in Fort Collins during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,as did Garbutt before moving onto a successful practice in Casper,Wyoming. The design of the Colorado Building is a skillfully executed example of the Twentieth Century Commercial Style employing symmetry and brickwork details to create a dignified and monumental combination commercial and office building. It is also significant for its association with a significant trend or'pattern of events":the rapid expansion of the'New Town" commercial district along the College Avenue corridor during the early twentieth century.The building has been a prominent landmark of the College Avenue commercial district for nearly a century,and for the first few decades,prior to the establishment of the Larimer County Hospital(now Poudre Valley Hospital), it was an important locus for medical care in Fort Collins. The Colorado Building is therefore recommended as a contributing element of a potential historic district comprising the'New Town"commercial district of Fort Collins along College Avenue,and it would also merit designation as a local landmark based on its architectural and historical importance. Because of the relatively major storefront alterations,the Colorado Building now has insufficient integrity to individually qualify for the National Register of Historic Places.

Mr. Gillett also offered the residents of the Lincoln Hotel who were there without shelter to stay at the Northern Hotel. Captain C. E. Irby of the Salvation Army and O.E. McGrew of the American Legion were at the fire scene with portable coffee urns and hot chocolate for the firemen. 1952 started out with a fire at Colorado A&M College in the Industrial Research Building on January 8, Fumes from a gas-burning food dehydrator vented into the attic were blamed for an explosion and resulted in the fire with$100,000 loss.The building was divided length wise through the middle,the eastern half being used by the A&M experiment station and had no damage. Later on, in 1952, Chief Treadwell resigned after 22 years on August 1 to be effective August 15. Chief Treadwell began drawing his retirement from the Firemen'Pension Fund and start the duties of City Building Inspector, which was vacated by Mn Althouse. At the time Chief Treadwell took over in 1930, the city was in a seventh-class ranking for fire insurance rates.During his time as Chief,the rate was cut 52%and the city took a fourth-class rank.This was accomplished by a vigorous training program and requiring off-duty firemen to make commercial inspections on their day off. He also asked the firemen to work for merchants on their days off with very little money,if any.This eventually caused the firemen to rebel and caused Chief Treadwell to resign.Chief Treadwell was born in Lincoln,Nebraska in a covered wagon that was carrying his parents to a new home at Colorado City,now part of Colorado Springs, He was born December 15, 1884. Chief Treadwell was replaced by Clifford Carpenter who had been Assistant Chief from January of 1951. Chief Carpenter was born in Council Bluffs,Iowa and moved with his family to Denver where he graduated from East High School.He then moved to Fort Collins with his family where his father,R.M.Carpenter, operated a feed store.In 1941,Clifford Carpenter returned to his birthplace and for five years worked on the Council Bluffs Fire Department. There he met his wife,Carol. Their two daughters Connie and Lois were born before leaving Iowa. In 1946,Chief Carpenter returned to Fort Collins and went to work on the Fire Department.At the time he was appointed Chief,he was a member of the Elks,Kiwanis Club,the Colorado State Firemans Association,the Missouri Valley Fire Chiefs Association and was Vice President of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Electrical Inspectors Association. With the new Fire Chief,the Council was more receptive to increasing some much-needed fire equipment With two big fire losses in the past year,the Mountain States Inspection Bureau threatened to increase the fourth- class rating to fifth or sixth class. In October 1952,the Rural Board of Directors received a bid for a new engine from American Fire Apparatus Co., of$8,000 plus the allowance for the old engine. This was on a GMC Chasis that was a 500 GPM Front Mount Pump and 500 gallons of water. The representative of the American Fire Apparatus was L. L. Bell of Western Fire Department Supply of Denver.This was to be delivered within 90 to 120 working days.The engine was received May 8, 1953 at 1:30 p.m. and 4'h hours later Fireman Jerry Collins and Reinie Reinick were called to the Ben Fabrizius farm 1 '/z miles east of Harmony. Having the pump mounted on the front permit's using the pump while the truck is in motion for such work as fighting grass fires.It had two booster hose reels carrying 200 feet of 1-inch hose. Fog nozzles. It also had four 12-foot sections of hard suction hose for pumping water out of a stream, lake or well. Some of the equipment carried included two carbon dioxide fire extinguishers,a fire axe,wrecking bar,24-foot extension ladder and roof ladder. After the two fires in late '51 and early '52, the City Council realized the need for better fire fighting equipment.On June 21, 1953,the Council approved the low bid of$12,642 submitted by the Central Fire Truck Corporation of St.Louis, Missouri for a 750 GPM Pumper.Fire Chief Carpenter submitted two bids and said it would take 90 working days to deliver.The Council also gave the Chief permission to junk a 1914 LaFrance(the first engine the city owned)....J. D. Forney bought it and has it in his car museum today. Fire Prevention Week for 1953 was celebrated first by moving the training tower from Jefferson Street to Howes and Maple. The 55-foot tower was tipped on its side and moved to Washington Park by the Mittry Transporation Company.The week included making posters and signs proclaiming October 4-10 as Fire Prevention 96 HISTORY OF THE FORT COLLINS FIRE DEPARTMENT by Edward We Yonker Introduction by William C.
