502 E Elizabeth is a classic Craftsman bungalow with clean, elegant lines. Built in 1924 by W. E. Bails, it passed through several owners, many professors at Colorado A & M (later Colorado State University), until the Cross family purchased it in 1936.

Jim Dennison’s one-story painted brick Craftsman home at 1100 West Oak Street provides a wonderful example of the small but elegant turn-of-the-century houses common to Oak Street. As with most houses, it blends several styles. It has a Craftsman shape with a front gable and deep soffits but no rafter tails. The round window, leaded pane glass on the porch, and bow window are more Victorian.

Professor Clarence P. Gillette took up his post as Colorado Agricultural College’s first entomologist in 1891. In 1905, he and his wife Clara began construction on this beautiful home here on Elizabeth St, where they lived with their two daughters, Florence and Esther. In 1905, building styles were evolving from Victorian to early twentieth century styles. This home features predominantly Colonial Revival elements such as the low-pitched roof, asymmetrical yet balanced front facade, centered front door with front door sidelights, and bay and grouped double-hung windows.

Built in 1907, the Dura & Neil Graham House is an eclectic bungalow, incorporating elements of the Shingle Style, with strong Italianate, Craftsman, and Prairie influences. The rusticated sandstone foundation, typical of many Fort Collins homes built prior to the Great War, fits nicely into the aesthetic of the Shingle Style.
