General architectural description: This resource is a 1,438 SF stick framed residential unit bearing on a concrete foundation enclosing a crawl space. Clad in horizontal flush wood siding, this resource has 1 story with an H shaped footprint and east-west lot orientation.

The addition has a shallow mansard clad in decorative wooden shingles, the link has a flat roof and a metal cross-hipped roof shelters the original house. The main entry is located on the addition and is sheltered below a front gable roof supported by two 4x4 wood columns resting on the elevated wooden entry deck supported on concrete piers. This shelter and front door are offset to the southern corner of this elevation. A single rectangular fixed window is located at the northern corner of this addition. The link is set back from the front and contains a centrally located fixed square window. Where the original building jogs out to the west (front) elevation, original fenestration is located including two identical double hung windows. The west face of the original mass is hidden behind a tall wooden perimeter fence but appears to include a window assembly combining a center fixed window with two casement windows located at either side. The south elevation is also behind the wooden fence and includes a retrofitted bay window at the western corner, a centrally located smaller bay window with a half round transom unit directly above, a single fixed window and a side entry door which is located on a slight bump out at the southeastern corner and sheltered by a cross gable extrusion supported by two 4x4 columns. The east elevation includes a bump out shed addition spanned by a metal shed roof that extends to shelter the rear entrance on the original house. This shed includes two combined fixed high rectangular windows and a door. Where the building jogs back, beneath the roof shelter, a single fixed window and glass door are located.

Historical Background: Because no primary data on the resource has been found, a general background follows. 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-2050 (page 4 of 5)
