ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: Front gable; overhanging eaves. Clapboard siding extends into gable ends without break. Shed porch. Narrow, double-hung window in gable end on either side of central front door and on sides. Corner boards., STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This house is one of the earliest built in the Goss-Grove neighborhood. It is significant for being associated with Boulder's early black community. Although census records show that by 1910 at least 200 blacks lived in Boulder, few of their homes--which were simple, vernacular houses in less desirable neighborhoods--survive today., This relatively unaltered home, with its existing outbuildings and large garden, is a good example of early Boulder' s minority housing. Moreover, this building is significant for being in "the little rectangle"--an area bounded by 19th, Goss, 23rd and Canyon, and the center of Boulder's black community during the first half of the 20th century. By the 1950s, the "rectangle" was bi-racial, with a large Hispanic population., Thus, for almost 50 years the area was the heart of the city's minority population., DESIGNATION: National Register eligible., STYLE : Vernacular frame., DATE BUILT : 1870s

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: Gray board and batten, gabled roof. Shed-like additions on back. Porch with some decorative wood trim., STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In comparison with the typical well-built turn-of-the-century Boulder house, this structure is representative of the 19th century version of a poor man's shelter in a growing mining town -- a vernacular style which is fast disappearing. Located in an area which was considered " undesirable" 100 years ago, this simple structure is a prime example of how and where ordinary people of very modest means lived during Boulder's early years., DESIGNATION: Local landmark, National Register eligible., STYLE : Vernacular frame-side gable., DATE BUILT : ca. 1870
