EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item is to consider the request for landmark designation for the McMillen-Patterson Property, 121 North Grant Avenue, an excellent example of an Eastlake-style home from the late 1880s. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The McMillen-Patterson Property is significant under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard A for its association with the creation of the Loomis Addition, as the first known show home in Fort Collins, and as the only known home to be given away in a drawing. The Property is significant under Standard C for its distinctive and outstanding representation of the Eastlake style, a popular Victorian-era variation of the Queen Anne style. The home is one of the oldest remaining homes in the Loomis Addition which was developed by and named for Abner Loomis. The home was built between June 1887 and May 1888 as a show home to entice people to buy lots in the Loomis Addition. Those that purchased lots were entered into the drawing for a chance to win the home. This is also the earliest documented pattern-book home in Fort Collins. 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. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its April 18, 2018, regular hearing, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously adopted a resolution recommending adoption of an ordinance by Council for landmark designation. PUBLIC OUTREACH The Landmark Preservation Commission held a public hearing on this item at its April 18, 2018, meeting. ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 9 Item # 9 Page 2 ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map (PDF) 2.
