3 Description of House (photos below are of West and South Elevations) The house at 508 Terry Street is a two story, gable-end bungalow style home. Unfortunately, Boulder County Administrative Services does not have any official documentation on when the house was built or any of the original floor plans. On the Boulder County Assessor e-mapping website, the built date for the house is This date is consistent with the style and construction techniques employed. When the building was purchased by the county it was assessed as a 3820 SF residence with 1068 SF of that total being the basement. Records indicate there have been two permits pulled on this property; the last building permit was #4416 in The last remodel appears to have converted the space into a hair salon. The first floor no longer has the original kitchen, dining or living spaces common for bungalow style homes and has one large open floor plan. Photos are of central open space on the first floor.

4 Our investigation of the house concluded that there were two additions to the original floor plan. One was western porch being enclosed with round windows (not a window type consistent with bungalow/ craftsman styled homes) and a two story addition that extends approximately 10-0 on the south side of the building. From the interior photographs of this open first floor the exposed header running west to east through the space is the line where the building was extended. The foundation also changes from Concrete Masonry Units (CMU), the original foundation construction to poured in place concrete around this southern expansion. Photos showing seam between CMU foundation and Concrete foundation Although there are two different improvements on the Assessor s website, these two could additions could have been done at the same time. It s reasonable to assume that all work to open up the first floor was done prior to the building being used as a hair salon.

6 The first floor has an open span of approximately /-. It is highly unlikely the structure was originally designed for this span and bidder/ mover is advised to add additional supports to strengthening this span during the transport. A structural engineer will need to be hired to bring the structure up to today s code requirements. There is a full basement accessible from the eastern ground level doorway or from the stairs from the back of the kitchen. Basement Photos showing CMU foundation wall.

Asbestos was found during inspections for this transaction. The asbestos were mitigated in 2005 by Misers Asbestos Removal, Inc

7 0367, testing was done by Analytica Solutions It is reasonable to assume there is lead paint in the house, although there is no documentation can confirm or deny this assumption.
