Appendix 1 Building Permit Application for Demolition, Southdown, inc. Rowe Flats Mining and Reclamation Project Page l of 2 WESTERN HISTORICAL STUDIES MEMORANDUM To: Mike Figgs, LREP From: Steve Mehl Date: November 15, 1994 RE: Dowe Flats Buildings Mike: At your request I visited the Brenner place on the north side of Colorado 66 and re- visited the shed in Dowe Flats. The buildings of the Brenner place are near the planned transportation corridor. The other shed was included in the original WHS study area for the mine permit. The shed on the Valley floor has already been determined not eligible by the Colorado SHPO and those recommendations tacitly accepted by HPAB. There are 5 buildings at the Brenner place. Building 1 is a vernacular, heavily modified house. Originally built ca. 1910, the house has been extensively modified since then. Modifications include a storm porch, a front addition with picture windows, sandstone patio, rear wing to the root cellar; removal of original wood siding, resheathing of house in foil-covered foam board, shingle siding. There may have been some door/window changes in the 1950-60s remodeling. We didn't do the interior so ['m not sure. We ace recommending the house is not eligible for nomination to the NRHP. Building 2 is the barn. This post frame barn was originally used for livestock storage and is presently in very poor condition. The interior stalls and hayloft were removed at a unknown date(s). The original roof was replaced an an unknown date with corrugated metal sheets. Portions of the roof are showing signs of structural failure. The cupola is collapsing and the overall integrity is minimal. We are recommending the barn is not eligible for nomination to the NRHP.
