General architectural description: This resource is a 1,218 SF stick framed residential unit constructed on a concrete and cinder block foundation enclosing a 1,218 SF basement (110 SF finished). Clad in brick on all four sides, decorative blonde flagstone masonry exists on all three sides of the front elevation bump out. This house is one story (not including basement) with a rectangular footprint and north south orientation. Original double-glazed windows, and doors exist throughout the house and appear in fair condition. A cross-gabled prefinished ribbed metal roof spans the resource and extends to form 1 eave overhangs throughout. The main floor bumps out slightly at the center of the front (north) elevation providing cross gable roof. A front entry porch is located at the northwest corner of the house, and is sheltered by a shallower extension of the eave end of the roof allowing for appropriate snow shed, a simple 4x4 column resting on the concrete entry porch supports this roof extension. The north fenestration from left to right includes a window assembly combining a single fixed window with a double hung window. The bump out includes a window assembly combining a center fixed with two double hung windows located at either side. This assembly is slightly offset to the west and directly beneath, an exposed garden level window and egress window well exists. Where the building jogs back forming the northwest corner, the entry porch contains a single entry door. The west elevation fenestration from left to right includes a window assembly combining a center fixed with two double hung windows located at either side. A single slider window is centrally located several feet to the south, and a small double hung window is located at the south corner of this elevation with a garden level window located directly beneath. The south elevation fenestration from left to right includes a slider window, an offset rear entry door accessed via a concrete porch with simple wrought iron handrails. Overhead a small cross gable defines this entry. Two combined double hung windows are centrally located and an assembly combining a double hung and fixed window is located at the eastern corner of this elevation. Directly beneath this eastern end window assembly, a single car garage door is located within an exposed cinder block foundation. The east elevation fenestration from left to right includes a single double hung window, a slightly offset glass block assembly and a second double hung window of equal size at the north corner of the elevation. More glass block is located on the exposed cinderblock foundation directly beneath. Very little detail exists on this building and it appears to be left with much of its original massing and fenestration. 22. Architectural style/building type: No Style (page 3 of 5)

The 1900s marked a time of transportation development. The Yampa Valley was an established ranching area, while Hahn's Peak was the county seat through 1912, with intensive mining operations. In 1905, the Steamboat Springs population was reported as 800. The arrival of the railroad to Steamboat Springs in 1908 facilitated the movement of stock and ore to Denver and further east. This connectivity also increased tourist numbers to Steamboat Springs. This was a prosperous decade for the city, with heightened growth and development. Resource Number: 5RT-2114 (page 4 of 5)

Statement of significance: This resource is a rare example of local vernacular masonry style architecture constructed in the mid 20 th century. Exemplary of a small scaled single-family masonry clad residence in downtown Steamboat Springs; this resource evokes the character of early residential construction maintaining modesty in scale and details. Such vernacular style resources are significant in continuing the eclectic fabric found in the original town of Steamboat Springs. Maintaining such resources is important in maintaining the legacy of our past. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: Much of this resource appears in its original condition including massing and most fenestration, sheltering the front porch and adding an attached garage at the rear of the residence does not preclude this house from local eligibility.
