Foreman House, 239 North Grant Avenue, as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code. RECOMMENDATION The Landmark Preservation Commission and staff recommend adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on August 8,2007,the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property as a landmark for its significance to Fort Collins under Landmark Standard(1),for its historical association with the tremendous growth Fort Collins experienced following the 1904 opening of the Sugar Factory. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owners of the property,Erin Morgan and Erin Muths,are initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the property. The J.E.Foreman House qualifies for Landmark designation under Landmark Standard (1). The house is associated with the period of tremendous growth and prosperity resulting from the opening of the Fort Collins Sugar Manufacturing Company factory in 1904. Although modified,the home is also interesting as an example of Classic Cottage architecture, retaining a preponderance of its stylistic characteristics. BACKGROUND History The house at 239 North Grant Avenue was constructed in 1907, at a time when Fort Collins was recovering from the depressed economy of the 1890s and experiencing a period of tremendous growth and prosperity. In 1904,the Fort Collins Sugar Manufacturing Company had opened its new factory in town and had begun to process its first sugar beets. Later that same year,the operation was purchased by the Great Western Sugar Company,who was to operate this industry for the next half century. The sugar beet industry stimulated the local economy by increasing population and employment and attracting new business to the area. As a result the city experienced a relatively large increase in the construction of new residences. Between 1900 and 1910, over 325 additional acres ofresidential subdivisions were platted and annexed within Fort Collins. hi addition,the house is interesting as an example of popular early twentieth century architecture. Although somewhat altered,the structure has a clear central hipped-box shape,characteristic of the Classic Cottage style. August 21, 2007 -2- Item No. 17 This style employed less ornamentation and more classical details than the earlier Victorian Era styles. Usually a one-story or one-and-a-half story house,the Classic Cottage was a smaller version of the popular Foursquare form,and was quite common in middle and working class neighborhoods throughout the city during the early twentieth century. As evidenced by the house at 239 North Grant, this style was characterized by a square or rectangular floor plan,hipped roof, front dormer, and wide front porch. It clearly embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type,period,and method of construction, and would be considered a contributing element of a potential landmark district in the Holy Family neighborhood. James E. Foreman and his wife, Jessie May, are listed as the first occupants of the home at 239 North Grant. A farmer and teamster, he lived here with his family until moving to Missouri circa 1911. The current owners, Erin Morgan and her daughter, Erin Muths, intend to restore the home to reflect more of its original appearance.

E. Foreman House, 239 North Grant Avenue STAFF CONTACT: John Ferguson, Preservation Intern; Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner APPLICANT: Erin Morgan and Erin Muths, Owners Significance and Physical Integrity: The house located at 239 N. Grant Ave. is significant to our community under Landmark Standards (1) and(3). Its construction, in 1907, corresponds to a time when Fort Collins began to emerge as a prosperous city and was attracting new industry, principally the Great Western Sugar Company. Furthermore, the home is a good example of the Classic Cottage style of architecture, popular during the early twentieth century, with many distinctive stylistic characteristics. Architecture: The J. E. Foreman House is significant as an example of a notable style of popular, early twentieth century architecture. A good example of the Classic Cottage style, the residence has a clear central hipped-box shape, characteristic of the Classic Cottage, which was one of the most commonly constructed styles in Fort Collins during the early twentieth century. This style employed less ornamentation and more classical details than the earlier Victorian Era styles. Usually a one-story or one-and-a-half story house, the Classic Cottage was a smaller version of the popular Foursquare form, and was quite common in middle and working class neighborhoods throughout the city. As evidenced by the house at 239 N. Grant, this style was characterized by a square or rectangular floor plan, hipped roof, front dormer, and wide front porch. The J. E. Foreman House was constructed circa 1907. This home is a rectangular shaped, one- story masonry structure, with bellcast hip roof. The exterior is stucco over what are likely brick walls. The roof is moderatly pitched, with wide overhanging boxed eaves. The home's east facade displays a centrally placed entrance with evenly spaced windows on either side. The one- story, nearly full-width open porch has a shed roof supported by squared posts. The roof features a small but distinctive hipped-roof dormer on the east facade. The windows are mainly narrow, one-over-one double hung windows, with brick segmental arches and stone lintels. The west elevation has an older, shed roof addition; it is also stuccoed. The house has retained a preponderance of integrity. Alterations include: 1) previous owners removed the two brick chimneys sometime after 1977; 2) shed addition, unknown date, possibly the "remodeling" referred to in the 1925 building permit record; 3) three bubble skylights -- two on the north, and one on the west roof slope. Because most of the modifications to the house occurred prior to 1948, the house maintains good historic integrity, and is in good condition. As such, it is a wonderful example of the popular 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 Classic Cottage architectural form of the early 20th century, and is significant under designation Standard(3). Furthermore, the house would be considered a contributing element of a potential locally designated Holy Family Neighborhood bounded by Shield Street, LaPorte Avenue, and Mason Street. The property has one outbuilding. This is a new, non-contributing detached garage, constructed in 2005, that replaced a deteriorated garage. History: The house at 239 N.

Grant, in the 1907 City Directories; he lived here with his family until 1911. Afterwards there were a series of short- term residents until 1948, when Emert L. Peterson, a chemist with the Ideal Cement Plant, lived at the house until 1963. After 1963, there were again many residents. Most recently, Randy Brooks occupied the house,between 1988 and 2000. Erin Morgan,who, along with her late husband, ran a firm specializing in architecture and conservation, and her daughter Erin Muths, of the United States Geological Survey, are the current owners of the home, and are seeking its recognition and protection through Landmark Designation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation of the J. E. Foreman House, 239 North Grant Avenue, for its significance under Landmark Standards (1) and (3).

These events stimulated the local economy by increasing population and employment and attracting new business to the area. As a result the city experienced a relatively large increase in the construction of new residences. Between 1900 and 1910 over 325 additional acres of residential subdivisions were plotted and annexed within Fort Collins. Due to its direct association with these important historical events, the house at 239 N. Grant is significant according to designation Standard one. In addition, the house is significant as an example of popular early twentieth century architecture. Although it is difficult to ascertain the dates of certain additions to the house, the structure has a clear central hipped-box shape, characteristic of the Classic Cottage, which was one of the most commonly constructed styles in Fort Collins during the early twentieth century. This style employed less ornamentation and more classical details than the earlier Victorian Era styles. Usually a one- story or one-and-a-half story house, the Classic Cottage was a smaller version of the popular Foursquare form and was quite common in middle and working class neighborhoods throughout the city.
