ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: Simple hall-and-parlor "folk" architecture. Side gable, fish-scale shingles in gable end. Wrap- around porch; pose supports. Stuccoed wall finish. Side-gabled and shed additions at rear., STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This building is significant for being associated with Boulder's early black community. Although the 1910 census records show that about 200 blacks lived in Boulder, few of their homes--which were simple vernacular houses in less desirable neighborhoods--survive today., Moreover, this building is significant for being part of " the little rectangle"--an area bounded by 19th Street, Goss Street, 23rd Street and Canyon Boulevard, and the center of Boulder's black community in the first half of the 20th century. By the 1950s, the "rectangle" was bi-racial with a Hispanic population. Thus, for at least 50 years, the area remained the center of the city's minority population., STYLE : Vernacular frame., DATE BUILT : ca. 1890.
