West Mountain Remodel I have had a few out of town readers respond off-line as to whatever happened with the house I blogged about some time back (click here). Here is the final house. I personally find this house to be very well done, respectful of the neighboring homes, and it fits right [...] I recently came upon this house on Mountain Avenue that had been gutted and the roof taken off. We shall see what happens with this one. The bells at Saint Joes I might miss more than anything in Fort Collins when I go. But there’s also a carillon at the Episcopal church. I would have liked to find out more about them both. [...] I have had SUCH a hard time keeping this quiet– I didn’t want to say anything until it was done. But for several weeks the Armstrong Hotel has been preparing a nice souvenir map of the neighborhood markets that the Lost Fort Collins blog wrote about last year. The map in my original post was lame, [...] Cunningham Corner is a condo complex on the corner of Horsetooth and Shields in Fort Collins.

Make sure you click through for the full-size version. [...] 1544 W. Oak wasn’t always a plain, uninteresting apartment complex. And if its owners have their way, it won’t be one much longer. [...] Just got a tip from Darrin Goodman (the mando from Horsetooth Mountain Rangers) that construction on Remington and Pitkin has exposed tracks. There were originally 3 trolley lines in Fort Collins, one going to the “new” highschool at Remington and Pitkin. These must be them! [...] Fort Collins’ Sheely Drive landmark district represents everything 1950s in architecture: Winding streets, low roof lines, decks, prominant garages and carports, with architectural attention to views, landscape, and cars.
