A painted white wood-paneled front door, with a fanlight, and covered by a white synthetic storm door, is centered on the façade (west elevation). This door leads into the house from a 6' by 6', 4-step, concrete porch. The porch floor is carpeted, and the porch and steps are flanked by black wrought iron railings. Another entry door, covered by a silver metal storm door, enters the house at the east end of the south (side) elevation. This entry is covered by a gabled hood with knee brace supports.
Historical Background -
This house was built in 1946 as part of a post-World War II real estate development in the Arlington Park Neighborhood by the Wheeler Realty Company. According to Greeley city directories, the house was initially owned by A.B. Carlson beginning in 1949 or 1950. The house has had numerous owners and occupants from that time to the present. As listed in the directories, in addition to Carlson, some of the residents include: John M. Warner (circa 1952); Robert Ritchey (circa 1954); L.L. Richardson (late 1950s); Nichols DiGiallanardo (early-to-mid-1950s); Inez Unruh (circa 1970); Ruth Rouse (circa 1973); Sharon Moody (mid-1970s to early 1980s); Kim Olsen (circa 1984); A.J. Trader (circa 1990); and Sara Jantz (circa 2002). Among these individuals, Robert Richey, L.L. Richardson, Nichols DiGiallanardo, and Inez Unruh are listed as having owned the property. The others were apparently all renters. Michael L. and Nicole Nelson are the current owners. They have lived here since July 2003.
