RE: Sears ODP - Landmark Preservation Commission Decision on
Determination of Landmark Eligibility for the Sears-Trostel Building
On November 15, 2000, the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) decided on a 4 -
2 vote to determine the Sears-Trostel Building at 351 Linden Street not eligible for
landmark designation. The hearing on 351 Linden Street came after the owner of the
lumber building, Bill Sears, had requested a re-evaluation of the building's eligibility for
designation. In a 1995 survey, the building was found to have historical significance
sufficient to qualify it for inclusion in a potential district as a contributing property.
City staff had recommended to the LPC that the building be determined to not be eligible
for designation, as a change of use of the building, combined with a lack of architectural
and geographical significance, would have a negative impact on any historical
significance the property may have, to the extent that the building would no longer be
eligible for its historical significance as a contributing building to either a National
Register or Fort Collins Landmark district.
