HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS 31. Original use(s): single dwelling 32. Intermediate use(s): N/A 33. Current use(s): single dwelling 34. Site type(s): residential 35. 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 36. Sources of information: Alexandroff, Marty.

Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern 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; or D. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. E. Qualifies under Criteria Considerations A through G (see Manual) Does not meet any of the above National Register criteria 39. Area(s) of significance: N/A 40. Period of significance: N/A 41. Level of significance: National State Local 42. Statement of significance: This resource is one of several similar bungalows that are the core of historic resources along 7th Street, although modified. The resources at 441 7th Street and 439 7th Street have already been surveyed. This resource was constructed in the same year as and with the same configuration as the bungalow at 441 7 th Street. Alteration to historic elements on any of these resources would undermine the feeling of the street. This resource is similar in scale, massing, and materials to its neighbors and therefore fits into its setting very well. The resource is significant, because it is representative of a typical residence in Steamboat Springs at this time period. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: The configuration of the resource has not been altered. The original fenestration has been retained. Both of these attributes contribute to the historic feeling and aesthetic evoked by the resource. This new material undermines the historic integrity of the resource, and as a result, the resource can not be considered eligible for designation. Enclosing a covered porch at the northwest corner of the house, which was identical to the porch at 441 7 th Street and the recladding of the resource in synthetic siding undermine the 1910 character of the home.

Yes x No Discuss: This resource lies in the proposed 7th Street historic district. This district comprises of a tree-lined streetscape with one and a half storey bungalows, cottages and Craftsman styled residences. There is a high degree of uniformity along this street. If there is National Register district potential, is this building: Contributing Noncontributing x 46. If the building is in existing National Register district, is it: Contributing Noncontributing VIII. LOCAL LANDMARK ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44a. Local Register eligibility field assessment: Eligible x Not Eligible Need Data 45a. Discuss: At a local level it is important to note that this resource was one of four existing Bungalow constructed along 7th Street between 1910 and 1912, with matching roof configurations and floor plans. In this manner this resource, despite alteration can attest to this trend in home construction in Steamboat Springs at the onset of the twentieth century. 46a.
