AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 20
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 094, 2012, Designating the Schroeder House/Laurel Apartments, 121 East Laurel,
Street, as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of the property, Brian Beeghly, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the
Schroeder Residence/Laurel Apartments at 121 East Laurel Street. The property is eligible for designation as a
Landmark under Designation Standards 2 and 3, for its association with significant persons and also for its architectural
significance to Fort Collins.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The residence was the home of Frederick J. Schroeder. One of the best known sheep dealers and feeders in the
Western U.S., Schroeder was a well-respected early Fort Collins citizen in both business and politics. Furthermore,
as an early 1900s Foursquare Style residence, the building is an unusually detailed example of this housing type within
Fort Collins. Constructed in 1902, this Foursquare Style residence exhibits many character-defining features, including
its two-story, square plan, full-width front porch, hipped roof with hipped dormers, Tuscan columns on porches, boxed
and dentil cornice with brackets, and overhanging eaves.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At a public hearing held on July 11, 2012, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend
landmark designation of this property.
