FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: May 6, 2003FROM:
Karen McWilliams
SUBJECT :
First Reading of Ordinance No. 068, 2003, Designating the John and Edna Squires House, 810
West Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado, as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter
14 of the City Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend adoption of the Ordinance on
First Reading. At a public hearing held on April 9, 2003, the Landmark Preservation
Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property as a landmark for its
individual level of significance and integrity to Fort Collins.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The owners of the property, David Thompson and Stephanie Malsack, are initiating this request
for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the Squires House. The house merits consideration
for individual Fort Collins landmark designation for its significance under City of Fort Collins
Landmark Preservation Standards (A) - Association with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of history; and (C) - Embodies the distinctive characteristics of
a type, period, or method of construction. The property contains a historic residence and a
concrete block garage. The garage is not a part of these designation proceedings.
Significance and Physical Integrity: The Squires Home has been an integral part of West
Mountain Avenue since the early 1900s, and is a recognized feature of the Loomis Addition
neighborhood. Additionally, the Squires House displays the prevailing architectural styles and
social standards for middle class families in Fort Collins in the early 1900s. The home is
reflective of the Folk Victorian architectural style. Notable stylistic features include bellcast
gable main and porch roofs; a canted bay window with bellcast hipped-roof on the east
elevation; and a wonderful and very unusual 3-light hex-pattern window, with tracery, on the
west elevation.
The John and Edna Squires House exhibits good physical integrity. Alterations include
enclosing the front porch, likely circa 1950, and unspecified porch work in 1946. Three solar
collection panels, located on the east slope of the roof , were added circa 1980. These panels,
while detracting somewhat from the home's historic appearance and architectural character, are
readily reversible. The interior of the home has many of the original features, including a brass
and tile fireplace with burled oak surround, identical to the fireplace in the Edwards House at
402 West Mountain. There is a built-in china cabinet in the dinning room, and all of the original
wood work and door knobs remain.
The Larimer County Assessor's records suggest that the house at 810 West Mountain may have
been constructed in 1898; however, the Fort Collins city directories do not list the property until
1908, indicating that the house was likely built between 1906 and 1908. The earliest known
DATE: ITEM NUMBER: IJ
owners, listed in the 1908 Fort Collins City Directory, were John and Edna Squires. Mr. Squires
was employed as a bookkeeper at the Poudre Valley National Bank. Other occupants of interest
include Howard Akin, a sheep farmer, and his wife Nina, during the 1930s, and Andrew and
Ethel Lesher in the 1940s. While the L.eshers owned the property, they constructed the concrete
block garage, in late 1946 or early 1947, and remodeled the front (and possibly the rear) porch.
The current owners, David W. J. Thompson and Stephanie K. Malsack, bought the house in
2001, when they moved to Fort Collins from Seattle, Washington. David is an Assistant
Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University. Stephanie is a social worker
for the Weld County School District.

STAFF REPORT
REQUESTS: Fort Collins Landmark Designation of the John and Edna Squires House, 810 West
Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado
STAFF CONTACT: Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner
APPLICANTS: David Thompson and Stephanie Malsack.
BACKGROUND: The John and Edna Squires House, at 810 West Mountain Avenue,
merits consideration for individual Fort Collins Landmark designation for its significance
under City of Fort Collins Landmark Preservation Standards (A) - Association with events
that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history; and (C) -
Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The
property contains a historic residence and a concrete block garage. The garage is not a part
of these designation proceedings.
Significance and Physical Integrity: The Squires Home has been an integral part of West
Mountain Avenue since the early 1900s, and is a recognized feature of the Loomis Addition
neighborhood. Additionally, the Squires House displays the prevailing architectural styles and
social standards for middle class families in Fort Collins in the early 1900s. The home is reflective
of the Folk Victorian architectural style. Notable stylistic features include bellcast gable main and
porch roofs; a canted bay window with bellcast hipped-roof on the east elevation; and a wonderful
and very unusual 3-light hex-pattern window,with tracery, on the west elevation.
The John and Edna Squires House exhibits good physical integrity. Alterations include
enclosing the front porch, likely occurring in 1946, and unspecified work to the rear porch, also in
1946. Three solar collection panels, located on the east slope of the roof, were added circa 1980.
These panels, while detracting somewhat from the home's historic appearance and architectural
character, are readily reversible. The interior of the home has many of the original features,
including a brass and tile fireplace with burled oak surround, identical to the fireplace in the
Edwards House at 402 West Mountain. There is a built-in china cabinet in the dinning room, and
all of the original wood work and door knobs remain.
Larimer County Assessor's records suggest that the house at 810 W. Mountain may have
been constructed in 1898; however, the Fort Collins city directories do not list the property until
1908, indicating that the house was likely built between 1906 and 1908. The earliest known

garage, in late 1946 or early 1947, and enclosed the front porch. The current owners, David W. J.

from Seattle, Washington. David is an Assistant Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado

State University. Stephanie is a social worker for the Weld County School District. The couple
spend their spare time exploring the mountains around Fort Collins and swing dancing.
The owners are proposing to remove the mud porch at the rear of the house, and construct a small
addition, creating a master bedroom/bath and kitchen nook. The Commission informally reviewed
these plans last fall. The addition will be subordinate to the rest of the home, is located on the rear
under the existing roof eaves, is inset a foot on either side from the historic walls, and will be
constructed of materials to substantially match the historic fabric. The approximately 20'x20'
addition will not significantly affect the building's eligibility for individual landmark designation.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving this request for Fort Collins Landmark
designation of the John and Edna Squires House, 810 West Mountain Avenue, with the rear
addition as proposed. The home exhibits good physical integrity, and is significance to Fort Collins
under Landmark Preservation Standards A and C. The addition will not significantly affect the
building's eligibility for individual landmark designation.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
• (Please attach a narrative of the historical significance of the property. Include a title search
or City Directory research if the property is important for its association with a significant
person.)
Larimer County Assessor's records suggest that this house at 810 West Mountain may have been
constructed in 1898; however, the Fort Collins City Directories do not list the property until 1908,
indicating that the house was built between 1906 and 1908. The earliest known owners, listed in the
1908 Fort Collins City Directory, were John and Edna Squires. Mr. Squires was employed as a
bookkeeper at the Poudre Valley National Bank. By 1909/1910,Ralph Truesdale, a manager at the
Fort Collins Labor Company, and his wife Minnie made their home at the residence. The 1913/1914
City Directory lists the resident of the home for those years as one R.P. Minteer. In 1922, Irene
Berrian, a music teacher, and Mrs. Kate Berrian lived at the home on Mountain Avenue. By 1927
Fred and Thelma Brimmer resided at the home. Mr. Brimmer was a cashier at the First National
Bank. In 1933, Howard Akin, a sheep farmer, and his wife Nina lived in the home. Andrew Lesher
owned the house in 1940, where he lived with his wife Ethel. While the Leshers owned the
property, they constructed a concrete block garage, in late 1946 or early 1947, and remodeled a
porch in June 1946. A second permit, also for remodeling a porch, was obtained in October 1946,
indicating that both front and rear porches may have been remodeled. In 1948, Mr. Lesher and his
second wife, Nettie, made their home at the residence. In the 1954 Directory, Mr. Lesher's widow
Nettie is listed as the homeowner. Other occupants of the home were Mrs. Maude Cowel, also
widowed, and George Sorenson, a lineman for the Public Service Company of Colorado. By 1959,
Nettie Lesher was the owner and sole occupant of the home. In 1963 Mrs. Dorothy Wiebers and
Mrs. Eleanor Dowell, both widows, owned and occupied the residence. According to the City
Directory for 1968, Don and Mildred Banks were the owners of the home. Mr. Banks was employed
as an electrician for the Poudre R-1 School District. In 1973, the house was occupied by a Mr. Andy
Wearin. Six years later in 1979, Martha Darr, a secretary, and Les Hall, a student, lived at the house.
The house was unlisted in the 1985 Fort Collins City Directory. In the early 1990s, the occupants
were David Klibbe and Kathleen Termeer, and their daughter. David W. J. Thompson and
Stephanie K. Malsack bought the house in 2001, when they moved to Fort Collins from Seattle,
Washington. David is an Assistant Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University.
Stephanie is a social worker for the Weld County School District. The couple spend their spare time
exploring the mountains around Fort Collins and swing dancing.

ARCHITECTURAL and PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION (attach a separate sheet if needed)
Construction Date: c. 1907
Architect/Builder: Unknown
Building Materials: Sandstone foundation, wood frame construction, narrow lapped board siding and
composition roof shingles.
Architectural Style: Folk Victorian
Special Features/Surroundings: Bellcast gable roofs; canted bay window; unusual 3-light hex-pattern
window with tracery on west elevation.
Describe any additions or alterations to the property: Detatched garage built in late 1946 or early
1947. Front porch enclosed, likely in 1946. Rear mudporch possibly altered in 1946. Three solar collec-
tion panels were added to the east slope of the roof in the 1980s.
Further Comments: The Squires House, at 810 West Mountain Avenue, is a wonderful example
of Folk Victorian architecture in Fort Collins. The home is front-gabled, with the main and front
porch roof being bellcast gables, which ultimately distinguish this home from other examples of
Folk Victorian architecture. A pattern of square-cut shingles adorn the front gable ends. The
glassed-in front porch is fenestrated with a series of fixed rectangular windows beneath sizable
transom lights. On the west elevation, there is an unusual 3-light hex-pattern window with tracery.
The home also features a canted bay window on the east elevation, with bellcast hipped-roof
overhang. The house has very narrow lapped board siding, and sits upon a sandstone foundation.
Building permit records indicate that the concrete-block garage was likely constructed in late 1946
or early 1947. The current owner,David Thompson, says that the previous owners and their house
inspector believe the house to be a kit home; this has not been substantiated, but warrants additional
investigation and research.
