AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE BARNDOLLAR- STONE -WORK HOUSE, 1901
COURT STREET. 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.
