Resource Number: 5BL8015 Temporary Resource Number: NIA Architectural Inventory Form (Page 2 of 5) 21. General Architectural Description Comprised of a single commercial building, this property is located on the east side of Main Street, near the north end of downtown Louisville. The building is one-story tall, with a rectangular plan, and of wood frame construction. The facade fronts directly onto a wide concrete sidewalk which parallels Main Street, on the west elevation. The building is supported by a low concrete foundation. The facade wall is stuccoed, light brown in color, while the side walls, along the north and south elevations, are cladded with wide horizontal aluminum siding. The roof is front gabled, with green asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. A red brick chimney is located on the roof ridge. The building's facade is symmetrically arranged, below a false -front parapet wall, with stepped gables. A stained natural brown solid wood door, with one oval light, and with a stained glass transom light, is located in the center of the facade. The entry door is flanked by two single -light fixed -pane storefront windows, with green canvas awnings. A large concrete block addition has been built onto the original east (rear) elevation, extending the building toward the alley. A steel roll -away garage door, opens onto a short concrete driveway on the east elevation. Four small non -original 3-light windows are located on the north elevation. Three similar windows penetrate the south elevation wall, along with one original 1/1 double -hung sash window, with a painted white wood frame and surrounds. 29.Construction History (include description and dates of major additions, alterations, or demolitions: Boulder County Assessor records list this building's date of construction as 1950. The building does not appear on the 1893, 1900, and 1908 Sanborn insurance maps developed for Louisville. Moreover, this address is not listed in the Louisville section of Boulder County directories, in the years prior to 1950. The 1950, date, therefore, may well be accurate. Boulder County Assessor records indicate that the large concrete block addition to the east elevation probably dates to 1975. 23.
