CONTINUATION SHEET

name of property 376 N. Colorado St. Continuation Sheet No.1

ARCHITECTUAL DESCRIPTION:

Structure is an ell shaped structure with a modified low-pitch hipped roof with a moderate overhang and clad
in asphalt shingle with boxed rafter tails. The foundation is slab-on-grade concrete, and the exterior cladding is
wood board and baton siding over decorative brick. The type of windows on the structure is unknown as they
were obscured by screens at the time of observation. Fenestration is irregular. A large brick patio leads to the
single-step entry that faces the street. The door is wood, and is recessed into the facade of the building.
Landscaping consists of a Bermuda grass lawn and shrubs. A concrete block wall runs the property line on
either side of the building, and features a modern lineal driveway with a second curved way running from the
main drive to the street.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:

Although the structure is a representative example of late high-style ranch architecture and illustrates the
modification of this style to an early 20" century neighborhood, it has yet reached 50 years in age and thus is
not eligible for listing.

HISTORIC PROPERTY INVENTORY FORM
CONTINUATION SHEET

name of property: 372 N. Colorado St. Continuation Sheet No._1

The main structure is a single-story brick structure with multiple medium-pitch front gables clad in wood
shingle with stucco exterior cladding, and a concrete foundation. The gables are decorated with trusses, knee
bracing, wood shingles, and lattice attic vents. Windows are wood double hung one over one and wood
casement. Fenestration is irregular. The off-center three-step wood door entry is recessed under a front gable
supported masonry and wood piers with a wood truss above. Additions include a large front gabled wing to
the fagade, built in the 1930s, a two story addition to the rear built in the 1940s, and an open flat-roofed carport
on the north side of the building constructed in the 1980s. A second wood door entry is placed on the north
side of the building. Landscaping includes a circular drive with gravel areas planted shrubs and trees.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:

Property is significant under criterion C as an example of Bungalow architecture. Notable residents include
Homer S. Kirby, President of Kerby-Simmons Motor Co. (1946-1952). Under criterion B and the context of
Community Development and Planning, the physical placement and quality of the structure and its surrounding
environs are significant as the product of deed restrictions and the application of City Beautiful concepts
intended to enhance the value of a speculative land development by Dr. A.J. Chandler and the Chandler
Improvement Co. The desire by the city council to perpetuate the aesthetic and urban order laid out in the
original restrictions later resulted in the state’s first zoning ordinance passed in 1926, which guided
development in Chandler until 1961 when the code was rewritten. The lengthy development of this
neighborhood from 1912-1955 created an eclectic collection of home styles from the early 20"" century and
shows the influence of some of Arizona’s earliest efforts at community planning. This particular dwelling
represents the upper-class housing common to the earlier development of the area.

ARCHITECTUAL DESCRIPTION:

Building is a single story home with a low-pitch side-gabled roof clad in asphalt shingle with boxed rafter
ends, stucco cladding, and a concrete foundation. The original steel casement windows were replaced with
sliding aluminum frame windows in the 1990s. Fenestration is regular. The centered single-step wood door
entry is covered with a low-pitch front-gabled porch supported by two undecorated square wood posts. The
wood siding on the porch gable has been covered in modern stucco. Landscaping consists of a Bermuda grass

CONTINUATION SHEET

name of property_282 S. Colorado St. Continuation Sheet No.1

ARCHITECTUAL DESCRIPTION:

Building is a rectilinear concrete block building with a pyramid roof clad in asphalt shingle and adorned with
terra cotta tile along the roof planes. The rafter ends are boxed. The foundation is concrete. Fenestration is
irregular, and the windows are multi-light steel casement windows with block sills. The level wood door entry
is off center on the north side of the building parallel to the street. A shed roof carport extends from the north
side of the structure over the entry, and is supported by undecorated square wood posts. Landscaping consists
of a Bermuda grass lawn and shrubs.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:

Property is significant under criterion C as an example of Ranch architecture. Under criterion B and the context
of Community Development and Planning, the physical placement and quality of the structure and its
surrounding environs are significant as the product of deed restrictions and the application of City Beautiful
concepts intended to enhance the value of a speculative land development by Dr. A.J. Chandler and the
Chandler Improvement Co. The desire by the city council to perpetuate the aesthetic and urban order laid out in
the original restrictions later resulted in the state’s first zoning ordinance passed in 1926, which guided
development in Chandler until 1961 when the code was rewritten. The lengthy development of this
neighborhood from 1912-1955 created an eclectic collection of home styles from the early 20" century and
shows the influence of some of Arizona’s earliest efforts at community planning. This particular dwelling
represents the middle-class housing common to the later development of the area.
