Applicant's Request Letter

The Historic Preservation Board moved to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness at the meeting on November 7, 2022 with the following conditions:

1. Noting that many of the buildings are enclosed and enveloped within portions of site that will be demolished, staff recommend HPB request a status report that contains documentation of the demolitions of buildings 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the requested partial demolition is completed.

2. It is recommended that the façade on Ford Street be rehabilitated to the extent feasible, especially the exposed red brick; multi-light wood windows; arched brick window hoods; and denticulated brick cornice.

3. Additionally, it is recommended that materials extracted from these demolitions be used adaptively on new construction projects on the site, if is environmentally safe to do so.

4. Adaptive reuse should incorporate the rehabilitation of the following character-defining features: exposed red brick, multi-light wood windows, arched brick window hoods, denticulated brick cornice, concrete exteriors, multi-light industrial steel windows, recessed window bays, and exposed concrete structural elements.

5. New additions or alterations should be complementary and compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing of retained historic buildings constructed during the period of significance. They should also be clearly differentiated and expressive of a contemporary architectural language in order to protect the integrity of the historic fabric and ensure clarity in the definition of old and new.

6. The Applicant use U.S. Department of the Interior for the Treatment of Historic Properties- Secretary of the Interior Standard for Rehabilitation when rehabilitating any portions of Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Staff Report

On June 7, 2021, the Historic Preservation Board held a hearing to review the revised addition to the Astor House, submitted by the Foothills Art Center. The Board determined that after addressing comments related to the materials, massing and size of the addition, the now brick and glass addition meets the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation, Standards for Additions and Alterations and the City’s Historic Guidelines. The site development plan for the Foothills Art Center’s use of the Astor House will be reviewed the City’s Planning Commission later this summer.

Resolution

The Historic Preservation Board of the City of Golden will hold a Public Hearing at a meeting on Monday, June 7, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. in the City Hall Council Chambers, located at 911 10th Street Golden, CO 80401.

The meeting will be streamed live on the City Website Meetings and Agendas page.

On May 3, 2021, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the Certificate of Appropriateness for the rehabilitation of the Astor House and the new addition proposed by Foothills Art Center. The Board’s discussion resulted in a continuation of the item to June 7, 2021 with some ideas for the Foothills to reconsider with a revised addition. The Board’s input on the proposal:

• Consider a different façade material for the addition, a material that is present in the 12^th Street Historic District.
• Consider more defined faux or removable windows for the addition to provide flexibility for the space in the future and lessen the appearance of the massing, while still allowing the space to be used as a gallery.
• Consider other architectural techniques to minimize the appearance of the massing of the addition.
• Consider revising the floor plan of the addition to lessen the protrusion of the addition into the yard area.
