Many of the first families that lived in the home were immigrants, miners, or both. This includes associations with the Warembourg family who have deep historical ties to this area of Boulder County as well as associations with the founding of the Baptist Church at 701 Grant, which was landmarked in early 2021. o Lastly, first owner Harvey Dutton recorded a Declaration of Homestead with Boulder County for five lots that include present-day 516 Lincoln, a testament to America's westward expansion more generally. o Staff finds that the structure exemplifies the cultural and social heritage of the community and there is probable cause to meet the criterion for social significance.

It also remains in its original location, has the same historic context after having been moved, or was moved more than 50 years ago. o While the property at 516 Lincoln has seen a number of alterations over time, the property's history is an excellent example of Louisville's development. o The subject property is found in its original location. o Staff finds probable cause that the structure meets the criteria for physical integrity. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the HPC finds there is probable cause for landmarking 516 Lincoln under the criteria in section 15.36.050 of the LMC, making the properties eligible for the cost of a historic structure assessment.
