Street, as a Local Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on June 27,
2001, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously recommended designation of this
property as a landmark for its architectural importance to Fort Collins.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The owner of the property, Chris Ray, dba Vantage Properties, LLC, is initiating this request for
landmark designation for the Joseph Baines House. This home has architectural significance to Fort
Collins,as a good representation of late nineteenth century residential architecture in Fort Collins.
History - The Joseph Baines House contains several notable architectural details, consistent with
late nineteenth century residential architecture. These include brick walls with quoins,the classical
column porch supports, stone lentil and lug sills, and the corbeled hood window treatment on the
facade. The building has been somewhat altered,include an incompatible rear addition,and painted
brick walls.
Ownership records indicate that Baines purchased the lot in 1882, and had the house built in 1890.
The following year,Baines sold the property to William Todd. Todd quickly sold the house to Peter
Anderson, who owned the house until 1905, when he gave it to his daughter, Cora May Riddell.
Peter Anderson was a prominent Larimer County rancher and businessman,owner of Peter Anderson
Mercantile. Earle Riddell, Cora's husband, was secretary of the mercantile company. Following
Earle's death in 1908,Cora continued to own the home until her death in the mid-1960s. The home
then became the property of Cora's son,Frederick A. Riddell. Today,the building,now owned by
Vantage Properties, LLC, is used to provide housing for students at nearby Colorado State
University.

STAFF REPORT
REQUESTS: Fort Collins Landmark Designation of the Joseph Baines House, 520 South
Howes Street, Fort Collins, Colorado
STAFF CONTACT: Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner
APPLICANT: Chris Ray, Owner.
HISTORY: Staff is pleased to present for your consideration the landmark designation of the
Joseph Baines House. The house, although somewhat altered, represents late nineteenth century
residential architecture in Fort Collins. Notable architectural details include the brick walls with
quoins, the classical column porch supports, and the corbeled hood window treatment on the
facade. Significant alterations include a poorly designed rear addition (not readily visible from
the street elevation), and painted brick walls.
Ownership records indicate that Baines purchased the lot in 1882, and had the house built in
1890. The following year, Baines sold the property to William Todd. Todd quickly sold the
house to Peter Anderson, who owned the house until 1905, when he gave it to his daughter, Cora
May Riddell. Peter Anderson was a prominent Larimer County rancher and businessman, owner
of Peter Anderson Mercantile. Earle Riddell, Cora's husband, was secretary of the mercantile-
company. Following Earle's death in 1908, Cora continued to own the home until her death in
the mid-1960s. The home then became the property of Cora's son, Frederick A. Riddell. Today,
the building, now owned by Vantage Properties, LLC, is used to provide housing for students at
nearby Colorado State University.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving this request for Fort Collins Landmark
designation of the Joseph Baines House, 520 South Howes Street, Fort Collins, Colorado, for its
architectural importance to Fort Collins.
