  LOCATION CALL # Last Checked In STATUS BCARN Documents Room 760-19-9 (none) LIB USE ONLY This folder contains documents pertaining to the designation of the Allison house at 1317 7th Street as a historic landmark. Included are historical and biographical notes, color photoprint, newspaper clippings, plat map, Certificate or Authenticity including Ordinance Number 5895, and landmarking papers. Terms of use Restrictions applying to the use or reproduction of this material are available from the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History/Boulder Public Library. This house at 1317 7th Street is significant for its association with Lewis C. and Laura Allison, longest term owners and residents of the house. Lewis was the grandson of Lewis Cheney, founder of the First National Bank in 1877. Allison worked at the bank for over 33 years. The house at 1317 7th Street sits on the south 50 feet of Lots 1 and 2, block 1, Buena Vista Heights subdivision. In 1902, Buena Vista Heights was platted. In 1904, Albert Snyder purchased lots 1 and 2 and in 1905, sold them to James Adolph Warren, who probably built the houses at 1317 7th Street and 648 University. "Dolph" Warren, a contractor, builder and brick layer, worked on the Hotel Boulderado and built many private homes, including buildings at 1061 9th Street, where he resided from 1903-1904, and 648 University, where he resided from 1906-1908. Warren came to Boulder County at the age of eleven with his mother and step-father, John Kinsey. The family settled at Springdale in Left Hand Canyon, where Kinsey operated a general store. After completing high school at the State Preparatory School, Dolph married Bessie Boyington of Boulder and spent a number of years as a bricklayer and building contractor. In 1915, Warren was appointed secretary of the Colorado Industrial Commission, but left that job after the outbreak of World War I to serve overseas with the Young Men's Christian Association. After the war, he took a job with Kenney-Coastal Oil Company of Denver and became president of the firm in the late 1930's. Warren died in Boulder in 1958. In 1918, Lewis C. and Laura Allison purchased the house at 1317 7th Street, becoming the first owners to reside there; the Allisons lived in the house for over fifty years. This house is bungalow in style. It is a one and a half story dwelling that has a side gable roof with overhanging eaves, decorative beams and exposed rafters. The gable ends feature stucco and half-timberling. The walls are a combination of bricks and stucco. The house has two chimneys and a shed roofed enclosure at the rear.
