Historic Architectural Survey, 2006-2007, Westminster, Colorado: Survey Report on Harris Park and Pillar of Fire Neighborhoods, Transportation Services

Three Gables Preservation; Wolfenbarger, Deon

From introduction: "This survey project was initiated by the Westminster Historic Landmark Board in response to recommendations presented in the 2005 Historic Resources Survey Plan for Westminster. This report provides recommendations of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places, local historic designation, as well as any needs for future research... A selective intensive-level historical and architectural survey was proposed to document the existing conditions of the pre-World War II resources located within the general area of the Harris Park and Pillar of Fire neighborhoods, as well as the pre-1960 buildings associated with transportation in Westminster. The results of the survey were also used to make generalizations about various property types within the city and a background history of the development of the two neighborhoods through the beginning of World War II... The project was initiated in May 2006, with field work and research conducted through February 2007. Results were presented at a public meeting hosted by the Westminster Historic Landmark Board in May 2007 for discussion and additional comments. A total of 141 historic resources were recorded and evaluated in the project area; a list of properties by address is presented in Appendix A. Of those, twenty (20) are recommended as “field eligible” for the National Register of Historic Places. There were sixty-seven (67) buildings recommended as field eligible for local designation. Initial field results were reviewed by National and State Register staff at the Colorado Historical Society, and additional information was obtained; thus the field assessments for the properties are based on more complete information and input from CHS staff. The results of the survey are summarized starting on page 43." Project funding was provided in part by a 2006 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Westminster (project number CO-06-018) administered by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 08-06-21508) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Westminster, Colorado is a Certified Local Government.
