TITLE
AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE K.M. FLYNN HOUSE, 1013 LAKE AVENUE, AS
A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
ISSUE
Should City Council designate the K.M. Flynn House as a local Pueblo Historic
Landmark, pursuant to the Historic Preservation Code, Chapter 14, Title IV of the
Pueblo Municipal Code?
RECOMMENDATION
Adoption of Ordinance as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission at
their May 9, 2012 Regular Meeting and the Historic Preservation Commission at their
Regular Meeting held on April 12, 2012.
BACKGROUND
The home qualifies under landmark Criteria 1a for representing the turbulent economic
and real estate era speculation boom of the 1890s and endemic foreclosure in
Bessemer/Pueblo after the 1892-1893 economic crash, with few long term prominent
residents until the 1940s. The home also qualifies for nomination under Criteria 2a and
2b as a good example of a late Queen Anne residence since it still retains its character
defining Queen Anne features such as a masonry construction, arched window
surrounds, crushed glass gable end decoration, elaborate shingle work, and a complex
roofline. The home is the third adjacent house in what is becoming a late 19th century
transitional Lake Avenue Historic District.
Findings of staff, the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Planning and Zoning
Commission are attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
