Charles Alden lived in the house. <br />He was a retired minister, and according to his 1961 obituary, he was born in Bangor, <br />Mich. and "received an AB degree from the University of Nebraska and a masters <br />degree from the University of Colorado in 1934. At one time, Alden was professor of <br />Greek and Latin at Cotner College, Lincoln, Neb., and for several years professor of Latin <br />and literature at Fort Lewis College. He moved to Montezuma College in New Mexico in <br />1935 as professor of English, remaining there for a few years.... While living in <br />Boulder, which he did for many years, he built several houses in the area." After his <br />death, Clara, of San Diego, became the sole owner. (A handwritten notation dated 1962 <br />on the County Assessor card states that it was boarded up at that time.) After she died <br />in 1963, her heirs, Henry Nance and Violet Nance, sold 317 Roosevelt in 1964. <br />This photo shows an aerial view (facing east) of the house in 1962: <br />4 <br />
