BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The owner, Patricia Taylor, has requested that the name of her Landmark property at 1009 West Mountain
Avenue be changed to reflect her long-time association with and preservation of the property. The property
was designated as a Fort Collins Landmark by Ordinance No 018, 2003, as the Wiggins House and Garage.
The property received Landmark designation for its architectural significance. Constructed in 1925 for an
estimated cost of $3,500, the house is a well preserved specimen of Craftsman residential architecture, with
numerous distinctive features, including battered porch piers, a pergola, and roughcast pebbled "Kelly Stone"
wall finish.
In August 1974, the property was acquired by Patricia Dixon Taylor. Ms. Taylor has owned the property for
over four decades. During this time she has lovingly maintained the property, and has ensured its preservation
through having it officially recognized by the Fort Collins City Council as a Landmark.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts to the City associated with this item.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its June 10, 2015 Regular Meeting, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously (9-0) to
recommend that City Council approve this change of name for this Landmark property.
