TITLE
AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE HARTMAN /HOAG HOUSE, 1401 N.
GREENWOOD ST., AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
ISSUE
Shall City Council designate the Hartman/Hoag House as a local Pueblo Historic
Landmark, pursuant to the Historic Preservation Code, Title IV, Chapter 14 of the
Pueblo Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Adoption of Ordinance
BACKGROUND
As is detailed in the Historic Preservation Commission's recommendation, the
Hoag House was found to be "associated with the life of a person or persons
significant in Pueblo's past" (Sec. 4- 14- 8(a)(1 a)). It is further found to "embody
those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural -type or engineering
specimen" (Sec. 4- 14- 8(a)(2b)).
By 1918, when the house was constructed, William Lawrence Hartman had
become a prominent Pueblo attorney, winning many important cases in the
Colorado Court of Appeals and Colorado's Supreme Court. Mrs. Hartman was a
great granddaughter of William Tarbell who responded to the Lexington Alarm as
a private in a regiment of the Minute Men. The first shots of the Revolutionary
War were fired during this battle. The famous writer, Ida Tarbell, was a cousin of
Mrs. Hartman's and encouraged her to write about her experience witnessing
Denver's celebration of Colorado becoming a state. From 1935 until 1965, the
house at 1401 N. Greenwood Street was the home of Frank Hoag and Amanda
Moore Hoag. They were not only an important part of Pueblo's society, but also
the newspaper Mr. Hoag owned and published was indispensable to the town.
Articles published in the newspaper over the years brought a great many
improvements to Pueblo and also helped to calm potential chaos.
The Hartman /Hoag House is a prototypical example of the Mission Revival Style.
Originally the home was constructed of brick from an earlier city hall located on
Santa Fe that was demolished, and the brick was transported to this location.
Findings of staff, the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Planning and
Zoning Commission are attached.
