Resource Number: 5BL925 <br />Temporary Resource Number: N/A Architectural Inventory Form <br />(Page 2 of 5) <br />21. General Architectural Description <br />This property is comprised of a one-story, wood frame <br />building, located at the southeast corner of LaFarge Avenue, <br />and Spruce Street. The west part of the building was <br />historically a residence, while the east part of the building <br />housed the offices of the Louisville Times for several years. <br />The building is now a duplex. Oriented toward Spruce <br />Street to the north, the building is supported by a low <br />concrete foundation. The exterior walls have been cladded <br />with horizontal vinyl siding, and the intersecting gables roof <br />has grey asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. There are no <br />chimneys. Three windows on the facade - a single -light <br />fixed -pane, and two lxi horizontal sliders - are not historic, <br />having replaced the original 1/1 double -hung sash windows <br />here. Windows elsewhere on the building are primarily 1/1 <br />double -hung sash and 3/1 double -hung sash, with painted <br />white wood frames and surrounds, and with aluminum <br />screens. Two wood -paneled entry doors, with aluminum <br />storm doors, enter into the building's two residences, on the <br />north elevation (facade). A secondary entrance is located on <br />the south elevation, where a painted white wood -paneled <br />door, with an aluminum storm door, opens onto a small <br />concrete porch. <br />29.Construction History (include description and dates of major additions, <br />alterations, or demolitions: <br />Boulder County Assessor records list 1920 as this building's <br />date of construction. Sanborn insurance maps, dated 1893, <br />1900, and 1908, show that, during those years, a dwelling <br />was located here at the southeast corner of LaFarge and <br />Spruce. This appears to be an earlier structure than the <br />extant one, however. There have been no additions to the <br />building within the past fifty years. <br />23. Landscape or setting special features: <br />This property is located at the southeast <br />corner of LaFarge Avenue and Spruce Street in <br />a residential neighborhood, a block to the west <br />of downtown Louisville. <br />24.
