EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owners of the property, Robert and Sally Linton, are initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation of the Crane Property at 1501 Peterson Street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The property at 1501 Peterson Street qualifies for Fort Collins Landmark designation under Designation Standard 3, as an excellent example of Prairie style architecture with a high level of historic integrity. Originally developed and championed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style was used almost exclusively for residential buildings. Adding to the local significance of 1501 Peterson is the fact that it is one of only a very few Prairie-style houses built in Fort Collins during this period; the estimated construction date of the house is 1918. FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS Recognition of 1501 Peterson Street as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owners to qualify for federal, state and local financial incentive programs available only to designated properties. Additionally, based upon research conducted by Clarion Associates, the property would see an increase in value following designation. Clarion Associates attributed this increase to the fact that future owners also qualify for the financial incentives; the perception that designated properties are better maintained; the appeal of owning a recognized historic landmark; and the assurance of predictability that design review offers. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At a public hearing held on August 14, 2013, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted to recommend designation of this property under Designation Standard (3), for its architectural significance to Fort Collins.

SIGNIFICANCE Properties that possess exterior integrity are eligible for designation as Fort Collins Landmarks or Fort Collins Landmark Districts if they meet one (1) or more of the following standards for designation: Standard 1: The property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history; Standard 2: The property is associated with the lives of persons significant in history; Standard 3: The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; Standard 4: The property has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The property at 1501 Peterson Street qualifies for Fort Collins Landmark designation under Designation Standard 3, as an excellent example of Prairie style architecture with a high level of historic integrity. Originally developed and championed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style was used almost exclusively for residential buildings. Most commonly found in the Midwest, the short-lived style originated in Chicago around 1900 and was in decline by 1920; most Prairie style houses were built between 1905 and 1915. Adding to the local significance of 1501 Peterson is the fact that it is one of only very few Prairie-style houses built in Fort Collins during this period. The estimated construction date of the house is 1918. Emphasis on horizontal lines created by low-pitched hipped roofs; wide, boxed, overhanging eaves; and contrasting wall and trim materials that create a high-waisted appearance mark some of the major character defining features of the style found on this house. Adding to the uniqueness of this house is the use of natural red sandstone instead of the more typical manufactured brick for the exterior cladding. Natural materials were more common to Craftsman style buildings which were popular during the same period. Separated from the red sandstone by a concrete lugsill, the upper portion of the house is clad with stucco, which was a more common material than stone for Prairie-style houses. Other classic Prairie-style features include two-story construction with one-story wings or porches, the porches often having massive, square roof supports, and panels of windows to connect with the exterior landscape. 1501 Peterson has all of these features and fits within the subtype known as the Prairie Box due to the simple, symmetrical square plan of the main mass of the house. As originally built, only the one-story wing projecting from the east façade interrupted the square footprint of the building. Other notable features of the house are the off-center porch housing the main entry, double-hung sash windows with geometric patterns of glass in the upper Page 2 sashes created by wooden muntins, and the use of copings to further accentuate the horizontal lines of the building. 1501 Peterson offers a striking contrast to the vertical emphasis of the many Victorian houses found throughout the eastside Fort Collins neighborhoods. 1 HISTORICAL INFORMATION This unique Prairie style house enjoyed the attentive long-term care of only three owners over a seventy-six year period, an unusual attribute for homes in this area where many were, and continue to be, used as rental properties. One family, the Cranes owned the house from 1934 until 1967. The Cranes sold the house to a Colorado State University (CSU) professor, John Campbell, and his wife Patricia, who lived in the house until at least 1974. Another CSU professor, Joel Bedford, and his wife Judith purchased the property in 1975. Professing to have “loved the house,” they called it home for thirty-five years. While many other properties in the area changed owners and/or tenants on a more frequent basis, this unique, high style Prairie house enjoyed the consistent attention of only a comparatively few families. 2 The property at 1501 Peterson Street is located within the Historic Fort Collins Eastside neighborhood, just adjacent to the southern boundary of the Laurel School Historic District. The earliest stated date for the property is found in a Real Estate Appraisal Card completed in during the late 1960s or early 1970s providing an estimated date of construction of 1918. The 1925 Sanborn Fire Insurance map indicates the presence of a dwelling with a shingle roof at 1501 Peterson. Building permit number 1345, issued on March 13, 1926 lists H. C. Bradley as the owner. The permit calls for the addition of a porch, located at the back of the house off the west elevation, and a detached garage. Since the original building permit has not been located it is not known if Mr. Bradley was the original owner. The earliest record for the address in the Fort Collins City Directories was not until the 1927 edition designating the owners as Lorenzo F. and Viola R. Flower. Two years later, the directory lists William A. Fairchild, manager of the American Theatre, as the owner; the 1931 directory identifies Leslie M. Skerry, a Colorado Agricultural College (later CSU) associate professor of military science and tactics, and his wife Stella as the owners. 3 John Forest Crane and his wife Elizabeth Webster Crane purchased the house in May 1934. Married in 1926, the Cranes owned a successful sheep ranch near Fort Collins. Mr. Crane partnered with Samuel F. Webster to form Webster and Crane, a livestock business. 4 An influential member of the sheep ranching community, Crane was an active member of both the Wyoming Wool Growers Association and the Wyoming Stock Growers Association. He was also a longtime member of the local Elks Lodge. The Cranes made only one significant 1 Gerald Foster, American Houses: A Field Guide to the Architecture of the Home (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2004), 342-346; Virginia and Lee McAlester, A Field Guide to American Houses (New York: Alfred A.

A full genealogical study has not been done on the Webster family but Samuel Webster was one of the first students to attend the Harmony School which opened in 1878 and became a notable sheep rancher. The timeline indicates that he may have been Elizabeth’s father and her marriage to Crane probably led to Mr. Crane’s involvement in sheep ranching and the business partnership with Samuel Webster. Page 3 alteration to the exterior of the building. In 1937 they added a sleeping porch above the existing porch at the back of the house. Screened-in sleeping porches were a popular residential feature prior to the development of air cooling appliances and are often included in Prairie houses. The Crane family owned the house for over thirty-two years, selling it in November, 1967 to CSU Professor John A. Campbell and his wife, Patricia Campbell. 5 Compared to the Cranes, the Campbells owned the house for only a short period. They sold it just eight years later to another CSU professor, Joel Bedford, along with his wife Judith. Both Dr. and Mrs. Bedford were important to the university and Fort Collins communities. Professor Bedford’s research in radiation genetics, cytogenetics, and of the effects of radiation exposure have made valuable contributions to the understanding of the effects of radiation at the cellular level. Mrs. Bedford was a partner and then sole owner of the Children’s Mercantile, an Old Town Fort Collins area retail store. The Bedfords were responsible for the only other major alteration to the exterior of the house. In 2001 they demolished the original garage and replaced it with a new two-car garage and pre-fabricated greenhouse, both of which were attached to the rear porch of the house by a new entry/hallway. Like the Cranes, the Bedfords resided in the house for an extended period; they sold the house thirty-five years later, in 2010, to Brenda Uihlein. Less than two years later Ms. Uihlein sold the property to the current owners, Robert and Sally Linton. 6 ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION Construction Date: c. 1918 Architect/Builder: Unknown Building Materials: Stone and stucco on a concrete foundation; composite shingle roof Architectural Style: Prairie Description: The house at 1501 Peterson Street is an excellent example of Prairie-style residential architecture. It is also one of only a few houses of this style built in Fort Collins. As originally built, the main mass of this two-story dwelling has a square plan supported by a concrete foundation. Typical of Prairie style houses, the red sandstone cladding of the exterior walls extends upward into the second story so that the stone covers the lower three quarters of the walls; stucco encloses only the top half of the second story. Separating the stone from the stucco is a continuous concrete lugsill that encircles the building to emphasize the horizontal lines of the house. Green tinted mortar fills the joints between the irregular pieces of sandstone. A large, rectangular red sandstone chimney extends above the north side of the hip roof; a lesser chimney is on the south side of the building. The roof has very broad, overhanging boxed eaves that shade the house. A Prairie style trademark one-story wing at the front of the dwelling (east elevation) provides additional living space inside the house and a covered porch at the south end of the elevation. It too has a hip roof. The front-facing east elevation is approached by a concrete walkway that terminates at a series of concrete steps to reach the elevated concrete porch. The entry door is a simple oak 5 City of Fort Collins Archives, “Obituaries” file, J.

Page 4 slab with three small lights set on a descending diagonal. The porch has a single large sandstone covered pier at the southeast corner to support the roof and is surrounded by a sandstone clad railing. The railing is capped by a contrasting concrete coping. Extending north from the porch and east from the main mass is an enclosed wing. It has a series of four 9/1 light double-hung sashes centered on the wing’s east elevation. Wood muntins in the upper sashes create a classic Prairie-style geometric pattern around the perimeter of the center pane. This is the primary window type found throughout the house. The tops of the windows are installed just below the ceiling line; the windows have concrete surrounds and sills. A band of concrete, the same height as the lugsill, surrounds the house just below the eaves, filling the narrow space between the windows and the eaves. The fenestration of the south and north elevations of the wing are similar to the primary (east) elevation, differentiated by each containing two sashes instead of four. Two similar 9/1 light sashes are symmetrically positioned toward the north and south corners of the second story of the façade above the lugsill on the stucco portion of the elevation. The lugsill serves as the sill for these windows and the stucco cladding creates the windows’ surrounds. 7 The concrete walkway that approaches the house from Peterson Street narrows as it turns the corner and extends the length of the south elevation. Two horizontal 3-light single sash windows are located symmetrically near the east and west ends of the elevation at ground level. Near the center of the elevation is a recessed wood panel door with a glass insert similar to the upper sashes of the primary windows in design but the muntins are lead instead of wood and the beveled glass is etched with a leaf pattern. Also, the center light is divided into multiple lights that create a decorative diamond pattern in the middle. The second story has three 9/1 sashes. West of the main mass of the house is the kitchen nook extension and greenhouse, which were added during a remodel in 2001. Recessed slightly from the main southern elevation, the wing extends to the west. Built in two stages, it was originally a one- story porch added to the house in 1926. The base of that section of the wall is clad in red sandstone. The rest of the wing’s elevation is clad with stucco and has four individual modern windows that are the same 9/1 sash style as found elsewhere on the house. Beyond the enclosed wing is a pre-fabricated greenhouse with a three foot high concrete wall supporting its aluminum and glass framework. Above the original porch area is a room encircled by ribbon windows installed just below the eave, a classic feature of the Prairie style. Here, 1/1 glass and screen units have been installed outside of the original 6-light single sashes. This space was the sleeping porch that was added to the house in 1937. The eaves above this section of the house extend only one-quarter the distance from the house as the eaves on the rest of the building. 8 The greenhouse, which is not visible from the street, occupies the southern section of the west elevation and has a door entering the greenhouse at its north end. It has a shed roof that slopes down north to south from the garage. Continuing to the north is the west elevation of the garage, which is clad in stucco. It has two symmetrically installed single light windows and is covered by a shallow hip roof similar to that of the original house. Visible beyond the garage is the former sleeping porch. It too has a hip roof and a series of six 1/1 sashes protecting the original windows fill its entire width. Unlike all of the other eaves, here, instead of being enclosed and clad with stucco, they have exposed rafter ends beneath wood planks. The north elevation of the garage, clad with stucco, has two single-car overhead doors and a series of four fixed glass windows. A flagstone patio area fills the alcove space between the garage and the main section of the house. Three wood steps and a porch provide access to a door that enters into the extended kitchen wing. Two fixed 9-light windows matching the 7 McAlester, Field Guide, 442. 8 Fort Collins History Connection, “1501 Peterson Building Permits,” http://history.poudrelibraries.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/bp&CISOPTR=5765&CISOBOX=1&REC=1; Foster, American Houses, 342. Page 5 upper sashes of the primary windows are to the east of the door. The east side of the alcove (the west elevation of the main mass of the house) has two windows at basement level. One is identical to the ones on the south elevation; the other is a single pane of glass and may have been a coal chute. Two shuttered windows are on the first floor level. The north elevation of the main house has a series of three 9/1 primary windows toward the west end and one on each side of the chimney. The upper level has three individual 9/1 sashes, two on either side of the chimney and one toward the west end of the elevation. Continuing east, the wing has the same two 9/1 sash unit as is found on the south elevation of the wing. The new rear entry and attached garage mimic the architectural lines of the original house, maintaining the continuity and integrity of the Prairie-style building in both style and materials. Even the alterations that changed the house from a Prairie Box to its current irregular form do not detract from its integrity as many Prairie houses exhibited long, linear shapes. Nor does the modern greenhouse diminish the house’s stylistic integrity as it is not visible from the street. The 1926 and 1937 porch additions are historical in their own right and create a two- story wing that is unique to this Prairie style house. 9 REFERENCE LIST or SOURCES of INFORMATION (attach a separate sheet if needed) Ahlbrandt, Arlene and Kathryn Stieben, eds.
