Date of Construction: Estimate: Actual: 1900 <br /> Source of information: Boulder County <br /> 26. Architect: Unknown <br /> Source of information: NA <br /> 27. Builder/Contractor: Unknown <br /> Source of information: NA <br /> 28. Original owner: August LeComte <br /> Source of information: Boulder County <br /> 29. Construction history (include description and dates of major additions, alterations, or demolitions): <br /> The main house, 620 Jefferson, was built ca. 1900. The northeast and southeast corners appear to be additions <br /> to an earlier cabin, but they were in place by 1948. The house was modified after 1948 with stucco exterior <br /> finish. No building permits are on file for modifications. <br /> The rear of the property contains two cabins used as residences, marked with addresses 616 and 618. There <br /> is a record of a previous cabin numbered 614, and a record that a cabin numbered 618 burned down in 1982. <br /> The addition on the current 618 is not visible in the 1950 Boulder County assessor's photo, so it was <br /> constructed after that date. The cabin currently marked 616 has been modified at an unknown date with an <br /> addition on the south side and modified window openings. <br /> 30. Original location X Moved Date of move(s): Note: 620 Jefferson, the main house, is in its original <br /> location. It is possible that the cabins currently addressed as 616 and 618 were moved onto the site at an <br /> unknown date. <br /> V. HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS <br /> 31.
