AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: December5, 2008
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Karen McWilliams
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 197, 2006, Designating the Jefferson Lindenmeier House and
Garage,511 South Whitcomb Street, as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City
Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on
November 13, 2006, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend
designation of this property as a landmark for its exceptional architectural significance to Fort
Collins.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of the property, Sondra Carson, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark
designation for the Jefferson Lindemneier House and Garage, 511 South Whitcomb Street.
Constructed in 1925 by the Lindenmeier Brothers, the exceptional historic residence, with rare
matching historic garage, are notable examples of Prairie Style architecture with Bungalow
elements. The buildings embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, and method of
construction, and, further,possess high artistic values, and qualify for designation under Landmark
Standard 3.
BACKGROUND
The residence and garage at 511 South Whitcomb are a wonderful Fort Collins example of two very
popular styles of architecture: Prairie and Bungalow. A few of the significant architectural elements
evident on both the house and garage include their horizontal orientation, achieved by very low
pitched,intersecting hip roofs;widely overhanging eaves,with rounded edges,which,on the house,
hide a suspected integrated guttering system; eave, cornice and facade detailing, including
contrasting wood trim, to emphasize horizontal lines; a covered porch with a massive entry and
square porch supports; a high foundation; divided-light casement windows; and the pebble stucco
and wood shingle exterior surfaces.
The overhanging eaves with rounded edges are a very predominate feature of this house. The upper
section of the exterior is pebbled stucco,made with pebbles about the size of a quarter and smaller.
The lower portion is square-butt wood shingle. Windows throughout the house are interior opening

casement windows, with multiple lights. The east elevation is the facade of the house. A covered
front porch is accessed by a massive, low concrete entry. The porch is supported by two large
square columns. A white horizontal band detail runs across the top of the porch roof and tops of the
columns which gives it a more Prairie feel. The front door is wood,with divided lights that mimic
the windows. On either side of the door are vertical sidelights extending to the height of the door,
again portraying the same divided light detail. Two front porch lights hang next to the door. An
intricately wrought design,they evoke the Art Deco period. While these may or may not be original
to the house, they are of early vintage, and contribute to the architectural history of the house. A
red brick chimney, with interesting stepped details, is located on the north elevation.
On the south side of the house is a small concrete driveway leading to the historic one car garage.
This garage is a highly significant aspect of the architectural character of the property, designed to
replicate the style and materials as the house. Its notable architectural features include, in part, the
roofing which wraps over wide boxed eaves,and walls comprised of narrow horizontal siding above
a high "foundation" of square-butt shingles, mimicking the home's stucco/shingle combination.
Vehicular access is gained through a pair of matched vintage garage doors,offset to the south,which
retain their original hardware, including strap hinges and a historic door latch (supplemented with
a modern latch.)
History
On June 26, 1925,Jefferson D.and Olga A. Lindenmeier purchased Lot 20 of Block 3 of the newly
subdivided West Lawn Addition from Caroline Elenor Mantz. Interestingly,the deed contained the
express condition that"the property herein conveyed shall be used for residence purposes only and
that no dwelling house shall be erected thereon which shall cost less than two thousand ($2,000)
dollars." While a building permit for the home was not found, Jeff Lindenmeier received a permit
for a$125 frame garage at this location just three days after closing upon the land.
Jefferson D. Lindermeier's long career in Fort Collins was spent as a building contractor and
carpenter. The three Lindenmeier brothers, George W., Robert, and Jefferson, operated a
contracting firm which constructed many homes in Fort Collins. This house,like many the brothers
built, was likely constructed for resale. By 1933,the home belonged to rancher Ben Knerr and his
wife Florence, followed soon after by Frances R. Woodruff.
Beginning in the early 1940s,Howard B. Scrivner,and his wife Faye Ann owned the house for over
a decade. The Scrivners were partners in the Scrivner Grocery and Market, at 152 West Mountain
Avenue. During this time,Howard and Faye Scrivner made some minor repairs and upgrades. They
insulated the attic, fenced in the back yard, and, in 1946, remodeled the basement. By 1959, the
Scriveners had moved to a new home on Harvard Avenue, and the house, a victim of its proximity
to the college campus, had apparently been converted into an over/under rental duplex, a use it has
retained until recently. In July 2006, Sondra Carson purchased the property, and is now diligently
restoring this charming home as her permanent residence.

STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Landmark Designation of the Jefferson Lindenmeier House and Garage, 511 South
Whitcomb Street, Fort Collins, Colorado
STAFF CONTACT: Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner
APPLICANT: Sondra Carson, Owner.
Significance and Physical Integrity: The Jefferson Lindenmeier House and Garage, at 511
South Whitcomb Street, contains an exceptional historic residence with a rare matching historic
garage, both of which contribute to the property's architectural and historical significance under
Standard 3. Constructed in 1925 by the Lindemneier Brothers, the buildings are a notable
example of Prairie Style architecture with Bungalow elements in Fort Collins. The property
embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, and method of construction, and,
further, possesses high artistic values.
Architecture:
The residence at 511 South Whitcomb is an exceptional Fort Collins example of two very
popular styles of architecture: Prairie and Bungalow. A few of the significant architectural
elements evident on both the house and garage include their horizontal orientation, achieved by
very low pitched, intersecting hip roofs; widely overhanging eaves, with rounded edges, which,
on the house, hide a suspected integrated guttering system; eave, cornice and fagade detailing,
including contrasting wood trim, to emphasize horizontal lines; a covered porch with a massive
entry and square porch supports; a high foundation; divided-light casement windows; and the
pebble stucco and wood shingle exterior surfaces.
The overhanging eaves with rounded edges are a very predominate feature of this house. The
upper section of the exterior is pebbled stucco, made with pebbles about the size of a quarter and
smaller. The lower portion is square-butt wood shingle. Windows throughout the house are
interior opening casement windows, with multiple lights.
The east elevation is the fagade of the house. A covered front porch is accessed by a massive,
low concrete entry. The porch is supported by two large square columns. A white horizontal
band detail runs across the top of the porch roof and tops of the columns which gives it a more
Prairie feel. The front door is wood, with divided lights that mimic the windows. On either side
of the door are vertical sidelights extending to the height of the door, again portraying the same
divided light detail. Two front porch lights hang next to the door. Of intricately wrought design,
they evoke the Art Deco period. While these may or may not be original to the house, they are of
early vintage, and contribute to the architectural history of the house. A red brick chimney, with
interesting stepped details, is located on the north elevation.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
On June 26, 1925, Jefferson D. and Olga A. Lindenmeier purchased Lot 20 of Block 3 of
the newly subdivided West Lawn Addition from Caroline Elenor Mantz. Interestingly, the
deed contained the "express condition that the property herein conveyed shall be used for

cost less than two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars." While a building permit for the home was
not found, Jeff Lindenmeier received a permit for a $125.00 frame garage at this location
just three days after closing upon the land.
Jefferson D. Lindenmeier's long career in Fort Collins was spent as a building contractor
and carpenter. The three Lindenmeier brothers, George W., Robert, and Jefferson,
operated a contracting firm which constructed many of the homes in Fort Collins. This
home, like many the brothers built, was likely constructed for resale. The 1927 City
Directory shows that, along with Jefferson and Olga, the home was occupied by George
and his wife Grace. In the early 1930s, Jeff and Olga had purchased a home on Mountain
Avenue, while George and Grace had moved back into the Lindenmeier family home at 407
Canyon Avenue. By 1933, the home on South Whitcomb belonged to rancher Ben Knerr
and his wife Florence, followed by Frances R. Woodruff.
Beginning in the early 1940s, Howard B. Scrivner, and his wife Faye Ann owned the house
for over a decade. The Scrivners were partners in the Scrivner Grocery and Market, at 152
West Mountain Avenue. During this time, Howard and Faye Scrivner made some minor

ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION
Construction Date: 1925
Architect/Builder: Lindenmeier Brothers, Jefferson D., George W. and Robert Lindenmeier
Building Materials: Wood frame
Architectural Style: Prairie/Bungalow
The residence at 511 South Whitcomb is an exceptional Fort Collins example of two very
popular styles of architecture: Prairie and Bungalow. The Prairie style correlated with
Frank Lloyd Wright and his most famous designs, popular in the early 20th Century. The
Bungalow style, a "branch" of the Craftsmen style, started around the same time. It is
similar to the Prairie in the horizontal orientation and low pitch roofs with overhanging
eaves. The Lindenmeier House and Garage, at 511 South Whitcomb, embraces both. The
house itself is horizontally oriented. A few of the significant architectural elements evident
on both the house and garage include their very low pitched, intersecting hip roofs, with
rounded edges; widely overhanging eaves, which, on the house, hide a suspected
integrated guttering system; eave, cornice and fagade detailing, including contrasting wood
trim, to emphasize horizontal lines; covered porch with massive entry and square porch
supports; high foundation; divided-light casement windows; and the pebble stucco and
shingle exterior surfaces.
Revised 09-2004 Page 3
Overhanging eaves are a very predominate feature of this house. The upper section of the
exterior is pebbled stucco, made with pebbles about the size of a quarter and smaller. The
lower portion is square-butt wood shingle. The exterior color is a light blue-grey, with white
trim around doors and windows. The windows throughout the house (except basement
windows) are all casement windows, which open to the inside and have decorative multiple
lights.
The east elevation is the facade of the house. A covered front porch (Bungalow) is
accessible by a massive, low concrete entry. The porch is supported by two large square
columns. A white horizontal detail runs across the top of the porch roof and tops of the
columns which gives it a more Prairie feel. The front door is wood, with divided lights that
mimic the windows. On either side of the door are vertical sidelights extending to the
height of the door, again portraying the same divided light detail. Two front porch lights
hang next to the door. Of intricately wrought design, they evoke the Art Deco period.
While it is possible that these may not be original to the house, they are of early vintage,
and contribute to the architectural history of the house. A large square fixed pane window is
to the left of the door. There is another window to the right of the door (not on the porch
extension) that is exactly like the previous mentioned. Both are single pane, one light.
The north elevation has multiple projections, like a stair step. The east section is the main
living portion of the house. It contains two small square windows, with multiple-light
detailing, and a small basement window, with two lights, and a wire mesh screen. A red
brick chimney, with interesting stepped details, is located on this elevation. The west
portion of the elevation has two sets of paired windows. The casement windows are
vertically oriented. There are two more basement windows on this section as well. One of
these basement windows has just recently been converted to a full size egress window.
The back of the house (west elevation) is rather symmetrical. The middle portion of this
elevation juts outward, about two or three feet from the main body of the house. This
portion has a central window. On either side of the 'jut' are the same small square windows
(one on each side). Two basement windows are also located on this elevation. The south
elevation has the similar projecting stair step feature. However, this time the porch and
main living area are on the same run of the variation of elevations. The east portion has a
vertical window and a small basement window. The other portion contains the back door,
two small square windows on each side of the door. This wood and glass pane door opens
to steps leading up to the main living area and down to the basement. A set of two
windows lie further west of the back door. The most westward window has a new glass
pane attached to the original window. There is one basement window below this pair of
windows. Another basement window has been taken out and temporarily closed with
plywood.
The large back yard stretches to the alley. On the south side of the house is a small
concrete driveway leading to the historic one car garage. This garage is a highly significant
aspect of the architectural character of the property, designed to replicate the style and
materials as the house. Its notable architectural features include, in part, the roofing which
rolls over wide boxed eaves, and walls comprised of narrow horizontal siding above a high
"foundation" of square-butt shingles, mimicking the home's stucco/shingle combination.
Vehicular access is gained through a pair of matched vintage garage doors, offset to the
south, which retain their original hardware, including strap hinges and a historic door latch
(supplemented with a modern latch.)
