02/20/12 Historic Preservation Commission Planning Dept. 749 Main Street Louisville, CO 80027 Bob Qualls 1124 La Farge Ave Louisville, CO 80027 Re: Landmark Designation Application for 1005 La Farge Ave, Louisville, CO 80027 Tucker, our son, will be living in the home at 1005 La Farge Ave later in the Spring. As much as procedure will allow him to, he has permission to speak for the owners of the property. Robert Qualls and Judy Cresswell in this Landmark Designation Application effort. As for the questions about Architect, Building Materials and Architectural Style, I have no answers. As far as I know, it is mostly as it was originally built. One owner, Doris Donner, added on a' /4 bath to the northwest corner of the house. I don't know if the renovation was just that section of the house or if it included the whole back of the house. Aluminum storm windows were added on some windows. The acutal windows and doors, I'm guessing, are original. There must be building permits in your archives that would flesh out the details of this addition. What we have gathered from heresay over the years, is that it belonged to a doctor. The small building in the back, facing South Street, was his office. I think that dwelling has been added on to, but I don't know to what extent. I would guess that it was extended to add the bathroom at the back and to the side to add a garage. Recently, I had a contractor take a look at. I wanted to repair the trim around the bottom of the house and the bases of the pillars that support the covered front entry. He mentioned that there were some features. the pillars at the front entry for example, that indicated the original owner custom built the home. This trim, these pillars and the windows are in the greatest need of repair. The earliest ownership I could find on the Boulder County Public Records site was in the name of William and Ruth Andrew. Neighbors remember when it was a doctor's home. Maybe Mr. Andrew was that doctor. 1 couldn't access any records indicating when it was built but it transferred ownership in 1970 to a Mr. Charles Parise. It transferred to Doris Donner later that year and in 1989 it transferred to us. Bob Qualls
