She was the first woman in the history of the university to hold the position. Margaret Durward died in June 1933. In her honor, a residence hall on the Colorado State University campus now bears her name. The next owners of the residence at 1022 South College Avenue were Duane F. Hartshorn and his wife Helen. The Hartshorns lived in the house with their family from 1931 until 1938. Dr. Hartshorn was a well-known Fort Collins physician,and played a major role in the construction of the current Colorado State University Student Health Center.

The property consists of a historic 1-1/2 story wood frame dwelling and detached wood frame single-car garage. The residence exhibits significant elements of the early Craftsman architectural style, with its side-gabled roof, stone foundation, shingled exterior siding, multi-over-one light windows, and exterior chimney flanked by tracery windows. The roof structure is more complicated than other Craftsman homes,though the dormers are indicative of the style. Beautiful decorative modillions in the wide overhanging eaves aesthetically imitate the style's characteristic exposed rafters. The historic detached one-car garage is a gabled structure. The garage features its original-vehicle doors with strap.hinges and cross bracing in the lower halves. Clad in wood shake shingles with exposed rafter the garage was built to matc0the architectural characteristics of the house.
