Cultural Resource Review and Reconnaissance Survey for the Fairmeadows RV Storage and Gravel Mining Pit <br /> Project, Greeley, Weld County, Colorado <br /> X <br /> _w. <br /> — a} <br /> a µt <br /> f; <br /> Figure 29. Site 5WL9413, Feature 3 (outhouse),view to the southeast. <br /> Feature 4 is a well/pumphouse located southwest of the house(see Figure 23). It is covered in a front- <br /> gabled roof clad in brown asphalt tiles that are older and do not match the roofing material on the house <br /> and garage/shed outbuilding. The small structure's sides are covered in overlapping horizontal wood <br /> cladding that matches the enclosed porch on the house. It sits on a rectangular cement foundation.An <br /> undersized plywood door is centered on the south-facing fagade,under the gable of the roof. <br /> Although the house and its outbuildings are on a property owned by a Union Colonist and early Greeley <br /> settler Joel Edwin Davis,he acquired this property later in life as an investment rather than it being <br /> directly tied to the family's historical prominence in the region.The property has remained <br /> investment/rental property ever since. The house does not present significant or masterful architectural <br /> elements of design or materials.The house and outbuildings have had incongruous changes and additions <br /> made to them, including the mismatched porch and replaced window openings on the house and <br /> changes/repairs to the siding and entry openings on the outbuildings.The property lacks significance and <br /> integrity under any NRHP criteria. <br /> CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Given the level of heavy agricultural use occurring on this parcel,confirmed by the reconnaissance <br /> survey,no native sediments that could have harbored precontact or early historic archaeological sites <br /> remain in the project area. Therefore,no additional archaeological assessment is recommended. The <br /> project area holds four historic farmsteads(5WL9410-5WL9413)with houses dating between 1900 to <br /> 1938;however,all buildings and structures have been heavily modified from their original historic look, <br /> do not represent masterful architectural works,and are not closely associated with notable historical <br /> figures.All the buildings and outbuildings lack significance and integrity under any NRHP or SRHP <br /> criteria.Therefore, SWCA recommends that 5WL9410, 5WL9411,5WL9412,and 5WL9413 are not <br /> 27 <br />
