EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if it is considered on the discussion agenda, it will be considered in accordance with the procedures described in Section 1(e) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted in Resolution 2015-091. The purpose of this item is to designate the Wilhelm Property, located at 717 and 717 ½ West Mulberry Street, as a Fort Collins Landmark. The owner of this property, Housing Catalyst, formerly the Fort Collins Housing Authority, is initiating this request. The 1948 ranch-style residence and attached garage is eligible for recognition as a landmark due to its historic integrity and significance to Fort Collins under Designation Standard C, Design/Construction. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The Wilhelm Property is an early example of a ranch-style residence with attached garage. Constructed in 1948, the residence exhibits character-defining architectural features, including the large, picture window, attached garage on the façade, asymmetrical façade, boxed eaves, and low pitched roof. Alterations to the residence undertaken are subordinate with compatible design and reversible. Housing Catalyst has requested that the City of Fort Collins designate four of its properties as Fort Collins Landmarks: 519 East Mulberry Street, 608 and 608 1/2 South Grant Avenue, 701 Mathews, and 717 and 717 1/2 West Mulberry Street. Housing Catalyst is proposing to sell several of its residential housing units, and to apply the funds from the sales toward the acquisition of replacement units. As a federally funded entity, Housing Catalyst is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to comply with applicable federal regulations, including compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Upon review by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the subject properties were determined to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. As the sale of these eligible properties to private individuals would result in the properties no longer being subject to federal oversight, the sale has been determined to have an “adverse effect.” One way that the finding of adverse effect may be mitigated is for the properties to become designated at the local level, and subject to local review. This solution will result in a finding of no adverse effect on the sale of the properties, and complies with both SHPO and HUD regulations. Agenda Item 9 Item # 9 Page 2 CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS Recognition of this property as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owners to qualify for local financial incentive programs available only to landmark designated properties. Based upon research conducted by Clarion Associates, the property will likely see an increase in value following designation. Clarion Associates attributed this increase to the fact that current and future owners qualify for financial incentives; the appeal of owning a recognized historic landmark; and the assurance of predictability that design review offers. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION This item will appear before the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) on December 14, 2016. The results of the LPC meeting will be included in a read before memo to City Council on December 20, 2016. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location map (PDF) 2. Landmark Designation application, with photos (PDF) 3.

The property contains a historic residence with attached garage. There are no other structures on the property. SIGNIFICANCE: Significance is the importance of a site, structure, object or district to the history, architecture, archeology, engineering or culture of our community, state or nation. For designation as Fort Collins Landmarks or Fort Collins Landmark Districts properties must meet one (1) or more of the following standards: Standard A: Events. This property is associated with events that have made a recognizable contribution to the broad patterns of the history of the community, State or Nation. It is associated with either (or both) of these two (2) types of events: 1. A specific event marking an important moment in Fort Collins prehistory or history; and/or 2. A pattern of events or a historic trend that made a recognizable contribution to the development of the community, State or Nation. Standard B: Persons/Groups. This property is associated with the lives of persons or groups of persons recognizable in the history of the community, State or Nation whose specific contributions to that history can be identified and documented. Standard C: Design/Construction. This property embodies the identifiable characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; represents the work of a craftsman or architect whose work is distinguishable from others by its characteristic style and quality; possesses high artistic values or design concepts; or is part of a recognizable and distinguishable group of properties. Standard D: Information potential. This property has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. EXTERIOR INTEGRITY: Exterior integrity is the ability of a site, structure, object or district to be able to convey its significance. The exterior integrity of a resource is based on the degree to which it retains all or some of seven (7) aspects or qualities: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. All seven qualities do not need to be present for a site, structure, object or district to be eligible as long as the overall sense of past time and place is evident. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE and EXTERIOR INTEGRITY: Describe why the property is significant and how it possesses exterior integrity. The dwelling at 717 / 717½ W. Mulberry Street is architecturally significant as an early, modest, Ranch type residence. Built in 1948, the building is among Fort Collins’ earlier Ranch type dwellings, and in fact it appears transitional between earlier (pre-war) Minimal Traditional style houses, and typically larger Ranch type houses which became prevalent in the 1950s. The dwelling’s basic form and size is representative of the Minimal Traditional style; while its low-pitched hipped roof, picture window on the façade, and attached single-stall garage, are all earmarks of an early Ranch type dwelling dating from the late 1940s. The dwelling is also historically significant for its residential use, particularly in that its basement apartment served as housing for Colorado State University students for nearly twenty-five years, and subsequently, for nearly forty years, the building has provided two units of public housing managed by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. Increased student population at CSU, beginning in the 1950s, and the Revised 08-2014 Page 3 more recent need for public housing, are two notable demographic trends which have influenced the building’s use throughout its history. The dwelling at 717 / 717½ W. Mulberry Street displays an overall high standard of integrity relative to the seven aspects of integrity – location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The only notable alterations are a modest rear addition, and the application of synthetic siding in combination with metal awnings over the front and basement entrances. The addition is not visible from the street, and is wholly compatible with the house’s original construction. Overall, a sense of time and place remains intact, relative to how the dwelling originally appeared. Standard A: Location. Integrity of location is defined as "the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred." The dwelling is in the location, on this property, where it was originally constructed. Standard B: Design. Integrity of design is defined as "the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property." The house is clearly identifiable as a late 1940s dwelling. The residence’s original form, massing, scale, and proportion are wholly discernible. A rear addition detracts minimally from the dwelling’s overall integrity of design. Standard C: Setting. The setting remains substantially intact. A part of the West Lawn Addition, annexed in 1920, thetŝůŚĞůŵ property is located in an area of historically single-family dwellings. The area is characterized by a streetscape of mature landscaping, detached sidewalks, front porches, and tree lawns along lot frontages. Standard D: Materials. This property retains much of the historic physical elements that originally formed the property. The addition of synthetic siding has compromised the dwelling’s integrity of materials to a degree; however, the synthetic siding is reversible, and the original materials remain underneath. Standard E: Workmanship. This property possesses evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. Standard F: Feeling. Integrity of feeling is defined as "a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time." The property’s physical characteristics and its environment evoke strong feelings relating to what life was like in Fort Collins during the early decades of the twentieth-century. Standard G: Association. Integrity of association is defined as "the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property." The property has a strong association with early twentieth-century life in Fort Collins. HISTORICAL INFORMATION This residence at 717 West Mulberry Street was built in 1948 for Alexander (Alec) and Marie Elizabeth (Deines) Wilhelm as a single-family dwelling (permit # 10591 issued 06/14/1948). The couple was originally from Kansas, where they had been married on September 29, 1929, just one month before Black Friday. In Wakeeney, Kansas, Alexander supported his wife and daughter LaVonne as a merchant in a grocery store. Upon moving to Fort Collins, Alex Wilhelm was a State Farm Mutual insurance agent as well Revised 08-2014 Page 4 as a partner in the Paramount Grocery (previously located at 1544 W. Oak) with H. L. Krug. The Wilhelms owned the property until 1952, when they bought a new house at 815 West Mulberry. The Wilhelms lived in Fort Collins for the rest of their lives. Alexander passed away in 1977 at the age of 72. Marie lived to be one month shy of reaching 101 years old, passing away in 2007. Following Alexander and Marie Wilhelm’s ownership, the residence at 717 West Mulberry was sold to Mary E. Green, who was the widow of Roy M. Green. Roy Green was President of Colorado State University (then Colorado State College) from 1940-1948. According to his biography, Green faced several challenges as president, “…primarily World War II and the subsequent deluge of returning veterans. His wartime leadership, however, was notable for bringing a host of military training programs to the campus. He also responded effectively to the G.I. Bill that presented sudden enrollment pressures.” In 1946, while in the lobby of Denver's Brown Palace Hotel, he was shot by an ex-serviceman who began firing wildly around the room. Although he recovered from his wounds, Green also suffered from high blood pressure and other ailments, which led to his death in the fall of 1948. Green never lived in this West Mulberry house. Following his death, Mary purchased the home and relocated here from the college’s President’s House. Mary Green lived on the main level of the house and rented the basement to CSU students until she sold to J. George and Lydia Baus in 1961. The Baus’s were retired and had previously lived at 516 W. Mountain. By 1962, the Baus's began renting out both the main level of the house and the basement apartment, primarily to CSU students. The Baus's sold the property in 1972 to Delorus Boswell, who had lived in the house since 1970 as a tenant. Delorus was the invoice records manager at Montgomery Wards in Fort Collins. She and husband Buddy O'Dell owned and lived in the main level of the house, renting out the basement apartment to CSU students until selling to the Fort Collins Housing Authority in 1979. ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION Construction Date: 1948 The one-story, wood frame ranch-style residence with aluminum siding faces north and sits on a concrete foundation. The residence has a low-pitched, hipped roof with asphalt composition shingles and overhanging enclosed eaves. The north façade includes a picture window with flanking fixed panes on either side of window and a double-hung window to the east of the door. The door on the north face is wooden with metal storm door. A concrete stoop and 4 concrete steps and corrugated metal shed roof awning with wrought iron supports and railing form the main entrance. Two corrugated metal window wells are at the base of the foundation on the north face, either side of the entrance. There is an attached single-car garage on the facade of the structure, with a painted metal single-car garage door. The east elevation has two double-hung windows (one obscured by shrubbery) and one corrugated metal window well at the foundation. The south elevation (rear) has a hipped roof addition with an AC unit occupying a double-hung window opening; metal raised-panel door with aluminum storm door; two casement windows; and a 6-over-6 pane double-hung window. Revised 08-2014 Page 5 A corrugated metal awning covers the entrance into the basement on the west elevation. The awning above the basement entrance is stabilized by two metal supports and a metal downspout is routed up and over the 2' wide concrete walkway along this side of the structure. The entrance to the basement is a metal door with aluminum storm door with one double-hung window on each side of the door. The windows appear to be original. The basement apartment was finished prior to 1956 based on Assessor's Property Card dated 05/15/1956, showing a duplex at this location. The basement entrance was on south side (rear) of house was completed in 1956, but shifted to the west elevation sometime after. Also after 1956 was the rear porch enclosing and an addition of 100 square feet, which was added to the southeast corner of the home. Additionally aluminum siding was added. These alterations are reversible. The ranch-style was popular between 1935 -1975. In “Fort Collins E-X-P-A-N-D-S”: The City’s Postwar Development, 1945-1969,” Cindy Harris and Adam Thomas wrote, Ranch homes reflected “friendliness, simplicity, informality, and gaiety from the men and women who, in the past, found those pleasures in ranch-house living.” However, in reality, the prevalence of the ranch home in the postwar period had more to do with finances than romance. Ranch homes were both easier and less expensive to build. From the less than 700 square foot starter homes of the early postwar period to the rambling houses of the 1960s, the ranch house grew with the American family and the American economy. They were designed to be both functional and efficient and eventually dominated the suburban landscape, appearing as not only infill housing but also in new subdivisions both large and small. In Fort Collins, as in other towns across the country, ranch houses were built first in small developments of a handful of homes on pockets of land, then in larger and larger sub-divisions on cleared tracts near the edges of town. The popularity of the ranch home was undeniable. Whether due to its widespread availability, new design characteristics, or perhaps a combination of both, this housing type became what postwar Americans wanted. It featured an open floor plan that made it easy for mothers to watch over small children while working in the kitchen and multi-purpose areas that could be divided according to changing needs. The living areas were used for play in the daytime, converted into a dining area at dinnertime, and functioned as a place for family entertainment after the meal.

Housing Authority of the City of Fort Collins 1715 W Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521 Housing Authority of the City of Fort Collins 1715 W Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521 Staff finds that the Wilhelm Property at 717 and 717 ½ West Mulberry Street qualifies as a Fort Collins Landmark under Standard C with DOOVHYHQ aspects of integrity intact. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND The Wilhelm Property at 717 and 717 ½ West Mulberry Street consists of a historic residence with an attached garage. The ranch-style of architecture was popular from the mid-1930s through the 1970s. Constructed in 1948, the residence exhibits character-defining architectural features, including the large, picture window, attached garage on the façade, asymmetrical façade, boxed eaves, and low pitched roof. The dwelling is also historically significant for its residential use, particularly in that its basement apartment served as housing for Colorado State University students for nearly twenty-five years, and subsequently, for nearly forty years, the building has provided two units of public housing managed by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. Increased student population at CSU, beginning in the 1950s, and the more recent need for public housing, are two notable demographic trends which have influenced the building’s use throughout its history. Under the Housing Authority's ownership, the property has provided two units of public housing for nearly 40 years. COMMISSION ACTION Chapter 14, Article II of the Municipal Code, “Designation Procedures,” requires that the Commission shall determine if the Wilhelm Property meets the criteria of a Fort Collins landmark. Properties eligible for designation must possess both significance and exterior integrity. In making a determination of eligibility, the context of the area surrounding the property shall be considered. ATTACHMENT 3 Agenda Item 3 Item # 3 Page 2 According to Sec. 14-22(a), “If all owners of the property to be designated consent in writing to such designation, the Commission, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present, may adopt a resolution recommending to the City Council the designation of the landmark or landmark district. . .” Significance is the importance of a site, structure, object or district to the history, architecture, archeology, engineering or culture of our community, State or Nation. Significance is achieved through meeting one (1) or more of four (4) standards recognized by the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service. These standards define how properties are significant for their association with events or persons, in design or construction, or for their information potential. Section 14-5(2) contains the standards for determining significance: a. Events. Properties may be determined to be significant if they are associated with events that have made a recognizable contribution to the broad patterns of the history of the community, State or Nation. A property can be associated with either (or both) of two (2) types of events: 1. A specific event marking an important moment in Fort Collins prehistory or history; and/or 2. A pattern of events or a historic trend that made a recognizable contribution to the development of the community, State or Nation. b. Persons/Groups. Properties may be determined to be significant if they are associated with the lives of persons or groups of persons recognizable in the history of the community, State or Nation whose specific contributions to that history can be identified and documented. c. Design/Construction. Properties may be determined to be significant if they embody the identifiable characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; represent the work of a craftsman or architect whose work is distinguishable from others by its characteristic style and quality; possess high artistic values or design concepts; or are part of a recognizable and distinguishable group of properties. This standard applies to such disciplines as formal and vernacular architecture, landscape architecture, engineering and artwork, by either an individual or a group. A property can be significant not only for the way it was originally constructed or crafted, but also for the way it was adapted at a later period, or for the way it illustrates changing tastes, attitudes, and/or uses over a period of time. Examples are residential buildings which represent the socioeconomic classes within a community, but which frequently are vernacular in nature and do not have high artistic values. d. Information potential. Properties may be determined to be significant if they have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. Exterior integrity is the ability of a site, structure, object or district to be able to convey its significance. The exterior integrity of a resource is based on the degree to which it retains all or some of seven (7) aspects or qualities established by the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. All seven (7) qualities do not need to be present for a site, structure, object or district to be eligible as long as the overall sense of past time and place is evident. Section 14-5(4) contains the standards for determining exterior integrity: a. Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. b. Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan space, structure and style of a property. c. Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Whereas location refers to the specific place where a property was built or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to the surrounding features and open space. d. Materials are the physical elements that form a historic property. e. Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period Agenda Item 3 Item # 3 Page 3 in history or prehistory. It is the evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure or site. f. Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. g. Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. Context: Section14-1 provides the definition of context: “Context shall mean the totality of interrelated conditions in which a site, structure, object or district exists. The context of an area is the sum of the existing buildings and spaces, and the pattern of physical development in the area. It can also be a measurement of the scarcity or profusion of a particular resource type.” STAFF EVALUATION Applications must contain a description of the property proposed to be designated; detailed information on the reasons why the property should be designated; and reasons why the boundary should be determined as described in the application. Staff has reviewed the application, and finds that all required elements are present in the application. Staff finds that the Wilhelm Property at 717 West Mulberry Street qualifies for Fort Collins Landmark designation under Designation Standard C as an example of the ranch and minimal traditional style, both prevalent in the 1950s. Its low-pitched hipped roof, picture window on the façade, and attached single-stall garage are all character defining features of the style. It continues to meet all seven aspects of integrity: materials, association, design, feeling, location, workmanship, and setting. As the seven aspects of integrity are intact and the history of the property supports designation under Standard C, staff finds that the Wilhelm Property at 717 West Mulberry Street qualifies as a Fort Collins Landmark. SAMPLE MOTIONS If the Commission finds that the 717 West Mulberry Street meets one or more of the criteria for Fort Collins landmark designation, the Commission shall adopt the following motion: That the Landmark Preservation Commission pass a resolution recommending that City Council designate the Wilhelm Property at 717 West Mulberry as a Fort Collins Landmark in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 14, based on the property’s significance under Standard C as an example of a ranch-style residence and its exterior integrity based on all seven aspects of integrity. If the Commission does not find that the Wilhelm Property meets the criteria for landmark designation, it shall adopt a motion noting which designation standard(s) it does not qualify under, in accordance with Municipal Code Section 14-21, and state its reasoning.
