unknown architect/ A-Frame style/ built 1965
At one time West Highland Park had many A-Frame houses. Most have been demolished. In the immediate vicinity of 1900 Kohler Dr. two A-Frame houses, 1865 and 1905 Kohler Dr., were demolished in the last several years. Photos 2 and 3 show 1865 Kohler (built c. 1965) prior to demolition. Photos 4 and 5 are of 1905 Kohler prior to demolition.
About Boulder's historic preservation program: Demolition applications for buildings over 50 years old are reviewed by the preservation program for historic interest by Planning staff alone, by the Landmarks Design Review Committee, and/or when greater consideration is deemed appropriate, reviewed in a public hearing setting by the Landmarks Board. Many of the demolished A-Frames in West Highland Park may have been less than 50 years old at the time demolition applications were submitted. Under appreciation of the A-frame style likely also contributed to their demise.
