Reference excerpt

The Kullgren House is a historic residence located at 209 East Cleveland Street in Lafayette, Colorado. Built in 1896, the house served as a private residence and boarding house for coal miners and later school teachers. It remains as one of the best preserved examples of the residential architecture typical of the thriving element of Lafayette. It is associated with Andrew Kullgren, who lived in the home from 1896 to 1919.

History The house was originally constructed in 1896 by Andrew Kullgren. The house was constructed as a residence with enough rooms to allow coal miners as boarders, which was a common method for owners to bring in additional income. Andrew Kullgren arrived in Lafayette during the early boom years and by 1892 was operating a shoe store in the town. He was elected to City Council in 1894 and served for three years. In 1896, Kullgren switched his line of business to manufacturing harnesses and had the home constructed. He also constructed a small wash house at the back of the home, which provided an area for returning miners to clean up after working in the mines. In 1919, Kullgren sold the house to Ben Cundall from Sutton, Nebraska, whom worked in a local retail store and served as mayor of Lafayette on three occasions. The property was part of the Cundall estate until it was sold in 1971. The house was approved by the Colorado state review committee for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places in early 1983, and was officially listed on the register on May 20, 1983.

Architecture The Kullgren House is a vernacular dwelling with a square floor-plan and a steeply pitched hip roof. The open porch has original turned posts with gingerbread brackets. In 1908, the house was raised and remodeled with a stone foundation added under the building. In 1974, decorative brackets were removed from the front porch and wood railing was replaced with wrought iron.

Significance The Kullgren House is historically significant as a well-preserved example of Lafayette's coal-era miner's housing. The house demonstrates the more prosperous element of Lafayette.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kullgren House

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kullgren House claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kullgren House before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kullgren House ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kullgren House

In research: Kullgren House appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kullgren House in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kullgren House is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1890s establishments in the United States, Coal mining, Houses completed in 1896, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kullgren House outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
