Historical Background -
The first residents listed for this address were William and August Bostrom in 1920. William was retired. No residents were listed from 1922 through 1931, so it is unclear exactly when the house was constructed. The Weld County Assessor date of construction is 1922. Roy V. Smith and his wife Gladys are the first residents listed at this property since 1922. They lived here from 1933 through 1962. Roy worked at the JV Smith & Son Department Store and was co-proprietor. Otto G. Edwards and his wife Julia are listed at this address in 1941. Otto worked as proprietor of Edwards Chevrolet. Gladys Smith continued to live here through 1969.
Dean and Nancy Turner owned and lived here from 1970 through1982. Dean worked as a professor at UNC. They had two children, Taos born in 1972 and Summer born in 1974.
James D. Klein and his wife Betsy purchased the house next in 1983 and lived here at least through 1985. Mr. Klein was self-employed.
