Historic Loveland Residences: Cultural Resource Survey

McWilliams, Carl; McWilliams, Karen

From introduction: "The Historic Loveland Residences Cultural Resource Survey was undertaken by the City of Loveland as part of a continuing effort to inventory, at the intensive-level, the city’s historic resources. A primary objective of the project is to develop public awareness regarding the benefits of the city’s historic preservation program, through the inventory of both residential and commercial properties. More broadly, it is anticipated that these efforts will enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and success of Loveland’s historic preservation program, by identifying historic buildings, and evaluating them at the intensive-level. Owners of eligible properties may then be encouraged to pursue National or State Register nomination, local landmark designation, and/or designation of one or more historic districts involving multiple properties. Toward this end, this report presents the results of intensive-level surveys of sixty historic properties scattered throughout the city. The properties are primarily residential; however, other diverse resources such as the Great Western Railway Depot, the Lone Tree School House, and the Depression-era Railroad Sewage Disposal Plant were also inventoried. Three of the surveyed properties are located outside the city limits. The sixty properties were intensively surveyed between August 2009 and April 2010. Each of the properties was recorded on a “Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form (OAHP #1403), issued by the Colorado Historical Society, Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The project was funded in part by Certified Local Government (CLG) grant (08-09-017) received by the City of Loveland from the Colorado Historical Society, Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The project was conducted by Cultural Resource Historians, of Fort Collins, Colorado, under contract to the City of Loveland. Carl McWilliams and Karen McWilliams of Cultural Resource Historians conducted the field survey, photography, and archival research. The inventory forms were completed by Karen and Carl McWilliams, and by Timothy Wilder, acting as a sub-consultant to Cultural Resource Historians. Marc Cittone and Tangier Barnes, with the City of Loveland, Community and Strategic Planning Department, managed the project on behalf of the City." This project was funded in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Loveland (project number CO-09-017) administered by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 08-09-21811) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Loveland, Colorado is a Certified Local Government.
