AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK ISSUE Shall City Council designate The Barndollar- Stone -Work House, as a local Pueblo Historic Landmark, pursuant to the Historic Preservation Code, Title IV, Chapter 14 of the Pueblo Municipal Code. Adoption of Ordinance, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting July 12, 2006 and the Historic Preservation Commission at their regular meeting June 22, 2006. BACKGROUND The Barndollar- Stone -Work House, constructed in 1872, is one of the oldest homes in Pueblo. The first owner and builder of the residence was Ferd Barndollar— merchant, lumber dealer, and land developer, responsible for the Barndollar subdivisions in Pueblo's north side in the late 1860s to1880s, and provided land to General William Palmer for a D & RG passenger depot to the south of the residence. The next resident, Judge Wilbur Fisk Stone was a member of the 1 Territorial Legislation, the 1 Colorado Constitution Convention (17 District), and later became the first Democratic Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court. Dr. Hubert Work, founder and superintendent of the Woodcroft Hospital, lived in the house from September 1915 to July 1920. He was U.S. Postmaster General and U.S. Secretary of the Interior in the Harding and Coolidge administrations. A prominent and imposing structure, it is the only remaining building of the Second Empire style in Pueblo. The house contains all the prototypical Second Empire features: the distinctive mansard roof with dormers, a flat roof on top with center cupola, a bay window located along the side, and full porch. The twin or paired front doors are also typical. Tall chimneys are also present, suggesting the sub -style of Steamboat Gothic. Findings of staff, the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Planning and Zoning Commission are attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT No financial impact.
