First Reading of Ordinance No. 149, 2019, Designating the Frank J. Ulrich Property, 516 Laporte Avenue, Fort

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Frank J. Ulrich Property is an unusual example of a Craftsman Bungalow. Constructed in 1924, the
residence exhibits many character-defining architectural features, including exposed rafter ends, ribbon-coursed
shingles in the gable ends, multi-light windows, and prominent front porch using natural materials. The detached
garage is contributing to the property because it exhibits Craftsman architectural details similar to the house and
for its association with the house’s first owner, Frank Ulrich. Alterations to the house and garage are minimal or
are historic changes that occurred during the period of significance, and so do not damage the property’s overall
historic integrity. Furthermore, the Frank J. Ulrich Property is located on the north side of the 500 block of Laporte
Avenue, which has retained its historic character and residential pattern of development.
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 a public hearing held on November 20, 2019, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously adopted
a motion on a vote of 7-0 to recommend that City Council designate this property based on its significance under
Standard 3, Architecture, and its exterior integrity based upon all seven aspects of integrity established by the
National Park Service.
