AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 17
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 054, 2012, Designating the Lory/Coffin/Klender Residence and Garage, 621 East
Locust Street, as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of the property, Thomas Klender, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the
Lory/Coffin/Klender Residence and Garage at 621 East Locust 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
Constructed circa 1908/1909, the residence was built by Charles Lory – president of Colorado Agricultural College
(now Colorado State University) from 1909 to 1940 – for use as a family home and rental property. Additionally, the
house was occupied by Major Roy Coffin, an instructor of geology at Colorado Agricultural College, in the early 1920s.
In 1924, Coffin assisted his father and brother in the discovery of the Lindenmeier archeological site, recognized as
a National Landmark. Furthermore, the building remains an excellent, intact example of Craftsman Style architecture,
a popular architectural style throughout the first part of the 20th Century. The associated wood frame garage dates
from the period of significance, and enhances the historical and architectural significance of the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At a public hearing held on April 11, 2012, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend
designation of this property under Designation Standard (2), with Charles Lory, president of Colorado Agricultural
College (now Colorado State University) from 1909 to 1940 and Major Roy Coffin, one of the discoverers of the
Lindenmeier archeological site; and under Standard 3 as excellent examples of Craftsman Style residential architecture
in Fort Collins, with high levels of physical integrity.
