In 1957, President Eisenhower created the American Interstate Highway System, and the Prussman’s trailer almost certainly got it’s wings on those newly minted routes! The Flying cloud has been restored inside and out for tailgating and small parties, and is decorated with an eye to the era it came from.

While simple on the outside, the inside is filled with original classic mid-century details that will delight fans of the era. The living room has a three-sided fireplace, complete with original brass sconces. The kitchen has been remodeled but the current owners kept the lighting fixtures and the functioning Nutone intercom system with radio. Many of the toggle switches throughout the home are original.

Built around 1908, this two-story foursquare home with colonial revival elements reflects a post-Victorian style popular in this East Elizabeth neighborhood. A classical portico at the main entry includes Tuscan columns supporting a formal cornice with a dentil band. The front of the home also features a large twenty-light picture window, complimented by a series of large double hung windows with stepped molding lintels.This wooden clapboard home has a bellcast hipped roof with wide overhanging boxed eaves; the detached garage, a newer addition, is side-gabled with a symmetrically sloped roof. A one-story addition expands the home’s east side.

The home was built between 1903 and 1907 for prominent local farmer and stockman Edward Littler, his wife Sarah, and their children. This American Foursquare may have been a kit home as evidenced by stenciled numbers on the rafters, located during the home’s restoration

A striking example of successful renovation and expansion of an historic residence, this house was built in 1898. According to unsubstantiated local lore, this brick home, along with others in the same block, was built in Wyoming and later moved to Fort Collins by rail. City documents indicate that after serving as the residence for a number of short-term occupants in the 1910s and 20s, the house was purchased by Murtie Belian, the wife of a retired Methodist minister.

The HC Howard house at 145 North Loomis offers a rare example of the Italianate style in Fort Collins. Built sometime between 1888 and 1895, it has two stories; a shallow roofline; pairs of tall slender windows; and a detailed porch and false balcony. The interior retains many original features, including an ornate fireplace in the parlor, elaborate wood windows, and baseboards. Interior photos from the George Avery family in the 1890s show Victorian furniture and heavy draperies.
