Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: This property has suffered the serious loss of historic setting due to its location between a modem restaurant building (El Burrito, 400-404 Linden Street), and the Poudre Pre -Mix cement plant (418 Linden Street). The house itself has experienced alterations mainly to the roof, where a gable was apparently added over the hip roof, as well as to its southwest elevation, where a large dormer was added, and finally, by the addition of a modern exterior stairway accessing an upper story doorway on the facade (the latter improvement is easily removable). Although these alterations have reduced the dwelling's architectural integrity, it is still readily identifiable as a historic building. The associated detached garage was not completely visible, but appears to have retained integrity of its original design and materials. VII. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44.

Statement of significance: This substantial brick house has lost some architectural integrity as well as integrity of setting, such that it cannot qualify as eligible for inclusion in the state or national registers of historic places. However, the house embodies localized importance as the home of dairyman George H. Wilcox, who was a prominent and successful rancher in the Fort Collins area in the very early 20th Century. The brick and stone construction of this large house is indicative of wealth, and the house testifies to Wilcox's agricultural and financial success. Because of its association with Wilcox and the early dairy industry in Fort Collins, this house would qualify as eligible for designation as a City of Fort Collins Local Landmark. The associated detached garage was likely built following the departure of the Wilcox family, and would not be considered a contributing element of the property.

Historical background: 5LRI O308 (Resource number) This handsome brick house was probably built around 1907 to serve as the home of George H. Wilcox and his wife Rose. Wilcox was a successful dairy rancher, who, according to Larimer County historian Ansel Watrous, championed the use of alfalfa as cattle feed and owned a "splendid herd of selected dairy animals," mainly consisting of Holstein cattle. Wilcox was born in Iowa in 1856, and married Rose Webber in Ouray, Colorado in 1893. He later relocated to Fort Collins where he achieved success in the dairy business. By 1913, George and Rose Wilcox moved to 226 Elm Street, and rancher Max Orenstein and his wife Eva moved into their Linden Street house. It is possible that the Wilcoxes chose to move after the Union Pacific established a new rail line nearby in 1911, resulting in a drastic change of character in this part of Fort Collins. The Orensteins were replaced around 1918 by another rancher, Arthur Tittman, who occupied this house with his wife Nellie until the early 1920s. By 1925 the Tittmans had relocated to another residence at 503 S. Howes Street. The home may have been acquired in the 1920s by John E. Anderson, whose name is listed on building permits for this address into the 1940s. Subsequent occupants/tenants of this house include laborer Albert Wickham and his wife Lottie in the late 1920s, followed by Alvin and Edna Sandmann in the early 1930s. The Sandmanns appeared to be a retired couple, while a son who also lived in the house, W.F. Sandmann, was identified as a carpenter. By 1936, the Sandmanns had been replaced by truck driver Walter H. Gabriel and his wife Gladys. The Gabriels' tenure was short, and by 1938 the home was inhabited by laborer Walter J. Schildknecht and his wife Lydia. By the late 1940s the house and the adjoining property had been acquired by Solome M. ("Sam") Vigil, who opened a bar called Sam's Place in the building now occupied by the El Burrito Restaurant. Sam's wife, Mary, worked at the nearby Seder and Son Molded Products Company, at 300 North College Avenue. In 1960, following the death of Sam Vigil, the property, including this house, was sold to Jesse, Willie, and Augustina Godinez. The Godinez family opened a Mexican restaurant next door (the El Burrito Restaurant), and apparently used this house for some time as a residence. It appears that Jesse Godinez lived here until c. 1972, and that his mother, Augustina, continued to live at this address until her death in 1991. The present use of the building is unknown, although it is still in the possession of the Godinez family. 36.

Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO W524 ' (970) 221-3600 408-410 Linden Street Architectural Inventory Form Page 3 of 8 5LRIC308 (Resource number) A wide, enclosed porch with a shed roof is attached to the rear end of the dwelling. The rear porch is wood frame construction, clad with horizontal drop siding. An entry is located on the left, or northeast side of the porch, sealed by a painted wooden door containing decoratively carved inset panels. This porch opens onto a thick concrete slab raised to the main floor level. The right, or southwest elevation is partially obscured from view due its close proximity to the adjacent restaurant building (400-404 Linden/El Burrito Restaurant). Features observed on this elevation included a large gable with a stuccoed face surrounding a 111 light, double -hung window covered by a wrought -iron security grate. Towards the back of the house is a large, non -original, crude hipped dormer containing a ribbon of three 1x1 light, sliding sash or fixed windows. The dormer roof is clad with composition rolled roofing. The first floor is fenestrated with at least two windows placed between massive, buff -colored sandstone sills and lintels. Two red brick chimneys exit the peak of the roof, straddling the ridge line. 22. Architectural style: (see front page) 23. Landscape or special setting features: The property has a very small front yard enclosed by a fence. An old flagstone walkway leads to the front entry. The house is partially obscured by trees growing in the yard. A modern wooden stairway with landing is in the front yard and allows access to a second story doorway on the facade. 24. Associated buildings, features or objects: Type: detached garage? Describe: Directly behind the dwelling is an old, rectangular -plan, wood frame outbuilding clad with stamped sheet metal mimicking stone masonry. The building is covered by a corrugated sheet metal -clad gable roof. The structure is not fully visible due to vegetation, but appears to be an unused detached garage. IV. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY 25.

Construction history: Estimate: 1907 Actual: Fort Collins city directories Unknown Unknown George H. Wilcox? Ansel Watrous, History of Larimer County, Colorado (Fort Collins: The Courier Printing & Publishing Company, 1911), p. 470. The exact date of construction is difficult to establish with certainty, due to the lack of Sanbom fire insurance map coverage as well as ambiguity in old city directory entries. The Larimer County Assessor indicates the house was built in 1900, and W.C. Willitts' map of Fort Collins verifies that the house was not built prior to 1894. The advent of city directory listings for this address in 1907 suggest that the building was erected around this date. In 1929, a building permit (#1808) was issued for "rebuilding house," and other permits were issued in July 1935 (#4014) for re -shingling, and in December 1936 (#4548) for remodeling. The latter remodeling episode may have added the gable to the roof as well as the large southwest side dormer. The associated detached garage was probably built prior to 1930. 30.

General architectural description: This property consists of a late 19th — early 20th Century vernacular masonry house with an associated detached garage. The dwelling rests on a concrete foundation, and is a 1% story, rectangular plan building covered by a steeply pitched hip roof surmounted by a low-pitched gable that appears to be non -original. The roof is clad with split wood shingles, and the eaves are boxed. The walls are constructed of red pressed brick set in stretcher bond, and the window and door openings are accented with buff -colored sandstone lintels and sills. The fagade features a full -width, enclosed front porch with a brick closed rail. The centrally placed entry is equipped with a painted wood screen door (the screen area is sealed with plywood), and is flanked on both sides by identical triple sets of 1/11ight windows. The front porch rests on a concrete footing, and Its half -hipped roof is covered with composition rolled roofing. The upper portion of the fagade is distinguished by a large gable offset to the left. This steeply pitched gable features cornice returns; the gable face is stuccoed and contains a tall, narrow 1/1 light, double -hung window covered by a wrought. iron security grate. To the right of this large gable is a narrow gabled dormer containing a doorway that is accessed via a wooden stairway ascending from the front yard. The left, or northeast elevation is fenestrated with two similar 3-part windows, each consisting of a large fixed central pane flanked by narrow, 1/1 light, double -hung windows. Further back are two smaller windows, including a tiny, fixed 1-light window, and another, small 1/1 light, double -hung unit The rear portion of this side elevation juts out slightly. A large gable similar to the gable on the fagade is placed on the northeast elevation, and features cornice returns as well as a tall, narrow 1/1 light, double -hung window set into the stuccoed gable face.

Owning a property designated as a Fort Collins Landmark provides the owners (and in some instance, long-term tenants) with substantial resources for the preservation and upkeep of these properties. Residential properties designated as Fort Collins Landmarks qualify for the following programs: The Colorado State Tax Credits for Preservation. Under this program, owners or long-term tenants receive a dollar -for -dollar tax credit of 20% of approved costs, for work on both the interior and exterior of designated buildings and structures, including outbuildings. Credits directly reduce income taxes owed the state. Any unused credit may be carried forward for up to ten years. There are no application deadlines. • The City's Landmark Rehabilitation Zero % Interest Loan Program. This program provides matching funds of up to $5,000 each year, for approved exterior work. The no -interest loan amounts are paid back only when the property is sold. This program has an application deadline of mid -January each year. The loan program is competitive, so actual funding will depend upon the quantity and quality of applications received that round. • The City's Design Assistance Program. If you should ever need technical assistance for exterior work, such as the expertise of an architect, structural engineer, designer, or other professional, up to $900 of their costs can be paid by our office. Applicants choose from a list of pre -approved consultants. Again, there are no application deadlines for this program. If the property is used for a commercial or non-profit purpose, the buildings qualify for additional incentives: The State Historical Fund. Designated properties can receive grants of 25% or more of project costs, for projects involving the stabilization, restoration, rehabilitation, reconstruction, or acquisition of a designated property or site. The project needs to show a public benefit, including commercial business or non- profit use. Historic Structure Assessment Grants. A sub -category of the State Historic Fund, these grants, of up to $10,000, are for the purpose of preparing a thorough assessment of the structural condition of a building or structure, and evaluating 28'_ N;ortn College Avenue: PC).
