Historical background: This resource typifies turn of the century domestic structures in Steamboat Springs with regard to scale, massing and location. The cluster is, however, atypical in cladding material when compared to neighboring houses. However, the six brick buildings are unified not by their massing or configuration, but by their finish details and this rarely implemented cladding material. Such an example of an intact, historical 'subdistrict' is invaluable in telling the storey of the development of Steamboat Springs, and is a rare example of an early shared living compound in Steamboat Springs, which grew out of need and available means. 36.
