In a recent Boulder City Landmarks Board meeting, discussions centered around a historic property that has captured the attention of local residents and preservationists alike. Nestled on a sloping lot adorned with mature trees, this 1920-built brick house stands as a testament to the architectural evolution of the area, featuring significant additions from 1937 and 1939.

The property, which is bordered by an alley to the west, includes a small storage shed constructed in 2004 and is situated within two identified potential historic districts. The Fourth Street district, highlighted in a 1992 survey and further proposed by residents in 2003, and an expansion of the Mapleton Hill Historic District, both recognize the house as a contributing feature.

The home showcases a central front gable and a full-length shed roof porch supported by four square columns. Its design elements, such as the shallow arched heads of the door and original windows, along with the gable end clad in alternating rows of fish scale shingles, reflect the architectural style of its time.

Significant modifications have occurred over the years, including the conversion of the original garage into living space before 2007. The board noted the importance of preserving these historical features, as they contribute to the character and heritage of Boulder.

As the meeting concluded, members expressed a commitment to ensuring that such properties are recognized and protected, allowing future generations to appreciate the rich history embedded in Boulder’s landscape. The discussions underscored the community's dedication to preserving its architectural legacy while navigating the challenges of modern development.
