2 (Page 2 of 7) 21. General Architectural Description The residence at 409 6th Street in Steamboat Springs consists of a 1.5 story, rectangular-shaped Craftsman-style dwelling, with a large garage and extended living space addition built across the rear (northwest) elevation. The original Craftsman-style home measures 31' NE-SW (across) by 44' NW-SE (deep), while the addition measures approximately 60' NE-SW by 24' NW-SE. The original building's facade (on the southeast elevation), is set back approximately 45' from 6th Street, and the southwest (side) elevation is set back approximately 40' from Aspen Street. The original house is supported by a sandstone foundation. The exterior walls are clad with horizontal cream color vinyl siding, although, painted blue square-cut wood shingle siding appears in the upper gable ends. The original dwelling is covered by a broadly-pitched side gable roof, covered with blue metal roofing material, and with boxed eaves. A shed-roofed dormer, with two single-light windows, and a red brick chimney, are located on the southeast-facing roof slope. The home's original windows are entirely single and paired 1/ 1 double-hung sash or single-hung sash, with painted beige wood frames and surrounds. These include a boxed, hipped-roof, oriel window, with a set of paired 1/ 1 double-hung sash windows, on the southwest elevation. A stained natural brown wood-paneled door, with leaded glass lights, and with flanking leaded glass sidelights and a transom light, is centered on the symmetrical facade. This door enters the house from an 8' by 20' shed-roofed wood porch, which features a wood plank floor, an open wood balustrade, and chamfered wood posts supporting the porch roof. The large addition is supported by a concrete foundation, and has cream color horizontal vinyl exterior siding. The addition is covered by a gable roof, covered with blue metal roofing material, and with boxed eaves. A red brick chimney is located on the addition's roof peak. Windows in the addition are single-light fixed-panes, set over awning-style windows, with painted blue wood frames and surrounds. A horizontal sliding glass bypass door enters the addition on the southeast elevation. Two blue metal-paneled garage doors, and a painted blue solid wood door, access the garage portion of the addition on the southwest (side) elevation. These doors open onto a short concrete driveway which extends to Aspen Street to the southwest. 22. Architectural style / building type: Late 19th & Early 20th Century American Movements / Craftsman 23.

Site type(s):residence 35. Historical Background Routt County Assessor records indicate that this lot was first developed circa 1913, with the construction of a Craftsman-style dwelling. Modest research efforts have uncovered little information about the home's early owners and residents. Assessor records indicate that the property changed hands several times in the 1980s, however, it has been owned by the same family from 1993 to the present (2005). Owners during the 1980s evidently included the Ehrhart, Jahde, Lockhart, and Henderson families. The property's current owners are Dr. Richard A., and Terese I. (Kaske) Porreco. The Porrecos permanent residence is in Denver. They apparently maintain this property in Steamboat Springs as a rental property, or perhaps as a vacation home. 36.

Applicable National Register Criteria A.Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; B.Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; C.Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; D.Has yielded, or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history; Qualifies under Criteria Considerations A through G (see Manual). xxdoes not meet any of the above National Register criteria. 39. Area(s) of Significance: 40. Period of Significance: 41. Level of Significance: National: State: Local: xx 42. Statement of Significance Reportedly built in 1913, this dwelling is historically significant for its association with the themes of residential growth and community development in Steamboat Springs, from the time of its construction, through the middle of the twentieth century. The original dwelling is also architecturally significant for its Craftsman style of architecture. The property's level of significance in these regards, however, is not to the extent that it would qualify for individual listing in the National or State Registers of Historic Places. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: This dwelling exhibits a slightly below average level of integrity, relative to the seven aspects of integrity defined by the National Park Service and the Colorado Historical Society - location, setting, design, workmanship, materials, feeling and association. Evidence of the home's original Craftsman style is still in evidence; however, the large rear addition, built in 1976, does notably detract from the building's physical integrity.

Is there National Register district potential? Yes: No: xx Discuss:Historic residences in this area of Steamboat Springs do not collectively appear to display sufficient integrity, and are too dispersed, to qualify as a National or State Register Historic District. If there is National Register district potential, is this building: Contributing: Noncontributing: 46. If the building is in an existing National Register district, is it: Contributing: Noncontributing: VIII. LOCAL LANDMARK ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44a. Local Register eligibility field assessment: Eligible: Not Eligible: xx Need Data: 45a. Discuss:This dwelling is historically significant for its association with the themes of residential growth and community development in Steamboat Springs, from the time of its construction circa 1910, through the middle of the twentieth century. The original dwelling is also architecturally significant for its display of the Craftsman style of architecture. Due to a rather substantial loss of integrity, however, the building is no longer able to convey a strong sense of its historic and architectural significance. As a result, this property should probably be considered ineligible for listing in the Routt County Register of Historic Properties. 46a.
