Resource Number: 5BL8026 <br />Temporary Resource Number: NIA Architectural Inventory Form <br />(Page 2 of 5) <br />21. General Architectural Description <br />The Gardner House is a single -story, wood -frame, dwelling, <br />with a modified L-shaped plan. The modest residence is <br />supported by a low concrete foundation, and there appears <br />to be a partial unfinished basement. The exterior walls are <br />comprised of light brown stucco, with painted white 1" by <br />4" corner boards. The house is covered by an intersecting <br />gable and hip roof, with grey asphalt shingles and closed <br />eaves. A painted light beige brick chimney, is located on <br />the exterior of the west elevation. A band of four single - <br />light fixed -pane windows, with painted white wood frames <br />and surrounds, and one lxl horizontal sliding window, are <br />located on the building's facade, on the north elevation. <br />Windows on the secondary elevations are a combination of <br />single -light fixed -panes, lxl horizontal sliders, 3-lights, and <br />1/1 double -hung sash, all with painted white wood frames <br />and surrounds. A painted white wood -paneled front door, <br />with an aluminum storm door, is located at the north end of <br />the west elevation. This door opens onto a small concrete <br />porch. Another painted white wood -paneled door, with an <br />aluminum storm door, opens onto a concrete patio, at the <br />east end of the south elevation. The patio is covered by a <br />corrugated metal shed porch roof. <br />29.Construction History (include description and dates of major additions, <br />alterations, or demolitions: <br />Boulder County Assessor records list 1910 as this building's <br />year of construction. No buildings are depicted on this lot <br />on the 1900 and 1908 Sanborn maps, corroborating the <br />Assessor's date at least to the extent that this building was <br />definitely constructed after 1908. The original building here <br />appears to an L-shaped structure, comprised of a 32' N-S by <br />16' E-W gabled portion, and a 13' N-S by 8 Z' E-W hipped - <br />roof portion, located at the south end of the gabled portion. <br />A 15' N-S by 20' E-W flat -roofed addition to the south (rear) <br />elevation probably dates to 1930. <br />23. Landscape or setting special features: <br />This building is located on the south side of <br />Spruce Street, less than a block west of Main <br />Street, west of downtown Louisville. <br />24.
