929 Parkview Street, south (front) partial elevation — Current photo <br />ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY: <br />929 Parkview Street is a one-story, wood framed, hipped roof, Minimal Ranch style <br />single family home. As is common with the Ranch style, this house has boxed eaves, is <br />absent of dormers, and has asymmetrical massing, a one-story rectangular plan, a low <br />pitched roof, a variety of window types and a shallow front porch at the entrance. Also <br />common for the style, is the asymmetrically placed front entry door which is recessed <br />and is sheltered by the overhanging front-fagade roof. <br />While it is common to see Ranch homes have an attached garage to complement their <br />rectangular width, variants on smaller lots will often have them separated on in the rear. <br />These smaller examples of the Ranch type are often called Ranchette, Transitional <br />Ranch, or Minimal Ranch. These styles will lack the size, footprint, or elaborations <br />present in many Ranches, but were also popular homes in America's post -WWII <br />housing boom. <br />Boulder County Assessor records indicate that this house was constructed circa 1952. <br />There have been modifications over time that include a decorative lattice further <br />obscuring the front door and entrance. Additionally, an outdoor enclosure and storage <br />area was added on the far west side of the structure. Faux half-timbering was also <br />added on top of the stucco on all of the elevations above the original brick base. <br />10 <br />
