618 North Nevada

The Buchanan–Stark deed is dated September 23, 1939

D070 is Amelia Buchanan to Earl C. Stark, executed September 23, 1939, acknowledged September 25 and filed September 29, 1939. The tax exception independently writes taxes for 1939 due in 1940. An earlier catalog date of 1931 was an extraction error; the reviewed deed supports 1939.

This is the neighboring 614 parcel: north 60 feet of the south 75 feet of Lot 6, Block 22, Addition No. 1. It is not a conveyance of 618. Nominal consideration does not establish a market sale price.

The Stark–Young deed is dated December 18, 1944

D071 names Earl C. Stark as grantor and John C. Young as grantee, executed and acknowledged December 18, 1944 and filed December 20, 1944. The individual-page review resolved the date that was left provisional in the earlier catalog.

The recorder number, exact filing time, recorder surname and revenue-stamp amount remain uncertain. Keep this in 614 context.

The supplied 1991 corporate deed expressly conveys 614

D078 identifies 614 North Nevada and the north 60 feet of the south 75 feet of Lot 6. It was executed April 15, acknowledged April 23 and recorded April 30, 1991, book 5833 page 649, reception 02023401. The grantee is Historic Properties of Colorado Springs, Inc.; the grantors are Charles D. and Janet L. McCormick.

Reception 002023401, book 5833 page 649, is the 614 deed. The companion reception 002023402, page 650, remains an unverified candidate for 618. The supplied page 649 instrument does not prove what the companion conveyed.

The estate’s cash balance is $6,616.43

The Eaton final-settlement decree reports $100,434.78 cash received and $93,818.35 expended, paid out and distributed, leaving $6,616.43 on May 14, 1934. The subtraction reconciles exactly. It separately says additional real, personal and mixed assets remained.

These are estate-wide cash flows and a dated balance, not a sale price, a house valuation, or Edwin’s total wealth at death.

The final settlement distinguishes state inheritance and federal estate taxes

The settlement continuation states that $12,720.31 in Colorado inheritance tax and $11,832.96 in federal estate tax had been assessed and fully paid. The next page allows $5,000 each for administrator and attorney services, with $4,000 already paid to each and another $1,000 authorized to each.

These are estate-wide figures in the final settlement’s own accounting context. They differ from the separately dated 1933 inheritance-tax receipt and are not taxes on 618 alone.

The inheritance-tax receipt is $68.80, with a separate calculation

D054’s receipt no. 60159 is dated July 20, 1933, recorded December 19, 1945, and states $68.80, correcting the earlier catalog’s $68.30. Gross property is $261,090.76; deductions $16,181.36; net $244,909.40. The final schedule gives tax fixed $13,118.21, interest [5.85?], fees $10.00, total $13,134.06, discount $500.00, balance $12,634.06, credits $9,500.00 and $3,065.26, residual $68.80. Both the gross-minus-deductions and balance-minus-credits calculations reconcile.

The $68.80 is a residual payment, not the entire inheritance-tax liability. An earlier catalog read a margin date as July 20, 1938; the reviewed transcription reads 1933. That marginal-date discrepancy remains unresolved. The 1933 calculation and the later settlement’s $12,720.31 state-tax statement have different dates and accounting contexts.

The $3,850 inventory entry values an undivided half interest

The highlighted inventory line reads an undivided one-half interest in north 25 feet of Lot 6 and south half of Lot 7, Block 22, Addition No. 1, valued $3,850. It supplies a direct inventory reference for the 616/618 parcel.

The fractional-interest qualification is consistent with the title-search summary and estate inventory. The $3,850 does not value the entire house, establish who held the other half, or prove the complete subsequent chain.

The June 1934 decree days remain unresolved

Review records contain conflicting June 13 and June 18, 1934 readings for the heirship and final-settlement decrees. The supplied title search gives June 18. A spot-check finds the final-settlement line on L007-p020 more consistent with 18, while the heirship line on L007-p017 remains ambiguous. Uncertain decree days are represented as [13 / 18?]; neither reading is conclusive throughout the packet.

The June 13, 1932 death and the June 1934 decree dates are different events. The exact decree days remain unresolved in the damaged reproductions; the archive does not treat a newer transcription or OCR reading as decisive proof.

A distinct Eaton funeral announcement was recovered

The blue-bracketed fragment L039 contains a distinct notice: the funeral of Mrs. E. J. Eaton would be held Saturday afternoon from the residence, 618 North Nevada, with Rev. [Paul?] Roberts officiating and burial at Evergreen. The time is read [2:30?]. This property-related announcement survives alongside the electrical and milk ordinance article and advertisements in D020.

No issue date is visible. Its association with May/Mary Eaton’s 1928 death is contextual, not a printed date recovered from this fragment. This is a separate short announcement from the obituary and the longer funeral report L050.

The contemporary marriage notice says Thursday, April 13

L049 prints that E. J. Eaton and Miss May Whipple married in Colorado Springs on Thursday evening, April 13, at the bride’s parents’ residence, by Rev. T. Mitchell. Adjacent printed railway and trustee-sale material supplies 1876; handwritten 1876 also appears. This strengthens the earlier catalog-only lead for the Weekly Gazette of April 15, 1876. The 1928 obituary instead says they married in 1875.

The marriage sentence itself omits the year. The surrounding 1876 issue context conflicts with the later obituary’s 1875 assertion; publication and ceremony are different dates. The notice predates documented residence at 618 and does not identify the parents by name.

May’s baptism row contains Whipple in the parents column

In baptism row 30, May Stuart Eaton’s adult baptism has ruled blank given-name positions followed by Whipple in the Parents column. Mrs. Margaret P. Woods is the sponsor and Benjamin Brewster the minister. Rows 31 and 32 identify Violet May and Ella Harding as daughters of E. J. and May Stuart Eaton.

Whipple supplies natal-family context but does not recover either parent’s given name or establish complete parentage. March 16, 1896 is the baptism date, separate from the daughters’ birth dates. No inferred parent identities are presented as confirmed genealogy.

Arthur’s register gives a precise age and a place-of-death field

Entry 4313 gives Arthur Peck’s age as 72 years, 1 month, 0 days, with 618 No. Nevada Ave in the Place of death column and burial Lot 8, Block 54. An earlier summary described the address as last residence; the reviewed column heading identifies place of death. The May 5, 1907 date inherited through the preceding ditto rows remains consistent with the local obituary.

The row itself does not name the cemetery; Evergreen is supplied by the separate newspaper funeral material. PPLD’s conflicting May 4 catalog date remains documented. This is a research transcription, not a certified vital-record extract.

Edwin’s death and burial are separate dated events

The full-spread burial review confirms Edwin J. Eaton, age 84, last residence 618 North Nevada, death June 13 and burial June 15, 1932, at Evergreen. These distinct dates are consistent with the earlier biographical finding; the institutional catalog instead gives June 14.

The catalog or obituary publication date is not either labeled register event. The register’s cause column is blank and supplies no cause of death.

The two Lucinda clipping copies differ in the address reading

The local clipping review reads 106 East Boulder, while the downloaded PPLD obituary copy clearly reads 208 East Boulder. Both are headed Pioneer Resident Dies, dated April 29, 1924, and describe age 84, death early yesterday, a private Law chapel funeral and Evergreen burial. The synthesis compared both image crops and retains the better-supported downloaded 208 reading with the local-copy discrepancy disclosed.

The separately preserved source versions are not assumed to reproduce an identical exposure or newspaper state. The local 106 reading does not establish a second confirmed residence. The April 28, 1924 death interpretation remains supported by the dated obituary, and the portrait catalog’s conflicting 1921 year remains documented.

Edwin’s 1903 State School trusteeship appointment

L046 reports that Governor Peabody appointed Edwin J. Eaton a trustee of the State School for the Deaf and Blind to fill the vacancy caused by W. G. Rice’s death. It says Eaton headed El Paso County Abstract Company until absorption by Colorado Title & Trust Company. The handwritten date is 10-3-03, with adjacent datelines October 2, supporting the indexed October 3, 1903 publication.

The readable appointment report adds the predecessor’s name and business-succession detail to the previously recorded trusteeship. It does not independently establish residence at 618 in 1903.

The Baptist material separates a preliminary meeting from formal organization

The minutes reproduce an August 21, 1872 preliminary meeting with Arthur Peck and Mrs. L. D. Peck among fourteen visible petition names. The September 18 organization minutes accept their letters alongside those of J. M. Colburn, F. A. Johnson and Austin H. Weir; seven additional people are accepted on statements in lieu of letters. The group then organizes the First Baptist Church of Colorado Springs.

Fourteen preliminary petition names and twelve people admitted at the later organization are different stages, not an automatic contradiction. The one-third-property donation remains a biographer’s assertion; these minutes are not a financial account.

Two Baptist lists preserve different Peck addresses

The list annotated March 1896 gives Arthur Peck at 216 E. Cucharras and Mrs. Arthur Peck at the same address. The other list, annotated [Dec.?] 1897, gives Arthur and Mrs. Arthur Peck at 618 N. Nevada. These are distinct list versions with separately preserved addresses.

The March 1896 church-list address differs from the 1896 city directory at 618. Publication, annotation and the currency of membership addresses may differ, so this does not prove a construction date or that the family had not moved. The 216 address also differs from the 1894 directory’s 214 entry.

The survey is dated May 13, 1993, not July 13

The improvement location certificate reads May 13, 1993; its accompanying Zephyr Surveying invoice is dated May 14. An earlier catalog’s July 13 date was corrected from the reviewed certificate. The certificate labels the 618 three-story frame apartment, the 616 one-story duplex, and garage on the described lot portions.

This is a historical location certificate, not a current survey or a construction certificate. Small architectural measurements remain qualified in the transcription. The invoice and certificate have separate dates.

The Lucinda–May supplied recorder copy supports the dated transfer directly

L007-p015 is a supplied recorder reproduction of Lucinda D. Peck to May S. Eaton. It writes September 24, 1910 execution and acknowledgment, and December 19, 1912 recording at 10:45 a.m. The property is northerly 25 feet of Lot 6 and southerly half of Lot 7, Block 22, Addition No. 1. The water clause refers to City of Colorado Springs canals.

The supplied recorder reproduction provides direct evidence beyond the earlier title-search-only account. Execution, acknowledgment, recording and the guide’s reported 1911 purchase are distinct events. The typed search’s September 26 acknowledgment differs from the deed copy’s September 24. This is a supplied reproduction, not a newly obtained certified recorder original or proof of a market price.

Early-deed consideration readings differ from the earlier catalog

The individual-page review reads Gutshall–Pochon consideration as one hundred seventy-two dollars, compared with the earlier $175 reading; Pochon–Martin as seventeen hundred dollars, compared with $1,200; and Martin–DeCoursey as seventeen hundred [fifty?] dollars, compared with $1,400. These are documented manuscript/title-search reading discrepancies. The Pochon deed’s execution year remains [four / five?], while acknowledgment and filing are in 1875.

The streak-damaged scans do not establish every amount as a verified actual purchase price. The earlier title-search wording remains preserved separately. The Lombard–Maguire filing day is tentatively [5th?] July in the individual-page review, versus the earlier July 8 entry; that day remains unresolved.

The Kimball correction concerns the premises description

The January 15, 1876 Colorado Springs Company–Kimball corrective deed says it describes more correctly and fully the premises intended by the December 9, 1873 deed. It includes Lot 7, Block 22, Addition No. 1, a handwritten quitclaim insertion and a canceled warranty paragraph. The earlier catalog’s grantee-name-correction description was inconsistent with the visible premises-description wording.

The legal effect of the struck and inserted clauses has not been determined. Separately, the badly damaged July 1874 Maguire–Gutshall instrument includes a North half phrase in an incomplete release/damages context; it cannot independently support a confident parcel-scope reconstruction.

The neighboring Young estate instruments name Ruth L. Young

D072’s February 4, 1981 letters and D073’s January 4, 1982 personal-representative deed name RUTH L. YOUNG. D073’s signature and acknowledgment also use Ruth. An earlier catalog attributed the grantor to Rush L. Young, confusing the estate representative with the separate Rush Young correspondence. The reviewed instruments support Ruth.

These instruments concern 614. Ruth’s family relationship is not established by the shared surname, and Rush’s separately signed letter remains a distinct source.

The 1982 neighboring special-warranty deed states $134,500

D074 states one hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred dollars and a $13.45 documentary fee, correcting the earlier catalog’s $124,500. It conveys 614 from Kenneth J. Reyhons and Kenneth Hanson to Thomas A. and Myra A. Hudson as tenants in common, executed January 4 and recorded January 8, 1982, book 3520 page 31.

This concerns 614 and is distinct from Thomas A. Hudson’s November 1982 acquisition of 616/618 from the Camden trust. Stated consideration is a deed recital, not independent proof of all transaction economics.

The 614 trustee deed recites redemption, unlike the 618 deed

D076, dated and recorded January 22, 1991, describes the McCormicks redeeming 614 as lienors. It recites the prior sale to Capitol Federal Savings and Loan for $148,750 and a last-redemption payment of $154,014.21. D058 is a different public-trustee instrument for 616/618, dated February 4 and recorded February 5, with a different sale recital.

The two instruments concern different parcels and have different sale/redemption recitals; the 614 amounts do not describe 618. These are historical instrument recitals, not a certified legal conclusion about a completed foreclosure chain.

Daisy’s will names Elva and conditional substitute beneficiaries

Daisy C. Todd’s March 21, 1940 will leaves the residue to daughter Elva L. Camden if she survives, with substitution provisions for Elva’s children and descendants. It nominates Elva executrix, with Lewis E. Camden as substitute if Elva does not survive. The July 9, 1957 order admits the will and directs letters to Elva. These clauses supply family and testamentary context for the later estate history.

The will predates the 1947 deed to Daisy. A general residual clause is not a parcel-specific distribution deed and does not bridge the missing trust/estate chain to Bonnie as surviving trustee in 1982. The conditional substitute-beneficiary clause does not establish who actually inherited.

May’s longer funeral notice connects named neighbors without proving kinship

L050 reports services at 2:30 that afternoon at 618 North Nevada, sermon by Rev. Paul Roberts of Grace Church and Evergreen burial. Earl Stark and Mr. Camden are among the named pallbearers. The notice says she died Thursday night; its handwritten date is 5-12-28, compatible with the obituary’s 5-11-28 annotation and death the previous night.

Names in the funeral party show a reported association, not family relationship or title ownership. May, Mary and Mrs. E. J. Eaton are preserved source forms. The handwritten annotations support publication context but are not independently established issue metadata.

The guide’s Lucinda occupation claim remains a research lead

G005’s retrospective Peck Residence entry says the Rocky Mountain News in 1885 described Lucinda as a new commission merchant. The underlying 1885 article has not been retrieved, so the occupation remains a specific research lead.

The guide alone does not confirm the occupation or identify a verified 1885 article. Its circa 1896 construction, unknown architect, 1911 Eaton purchase and National Register eligibility wording remain source assertions; eligibility is not a designation or listing.

The original biennial report supports Eaton’s office and reporting period

The 1893 report title names E. J. Eaton as Secretary of State for fiscal years ending November 30, 1891 and November 30, 1892. Its printed transmittal is dated Denver, December 31, 1892, addressed to Governor John L. Routt and signed in print E. J. Eaton. This supplies contemporary documentary support alongside the official 1891–1893 term.

A fiscal reporting period is not the exact officeholding term. The name on the transmittal is printed, not an autograph. The report’s title and transmittal are preserved as D090-p001 and D090-p002 with their source-page provenance.

Eaton birth notices add a son lead and a daughter-date discrepancy

L048 announces a boy born to the wife of E. J. Eaton in Colorado Springs on January 2[3?], 1879, weighing 8½ pounds. L022/L002-p039 announces an unnamed daughter born March 18, [1883?]. The baptism register’s Violet May Eaton birth is March 19, 1883; this creates a potential one-day discrepancy if the unnamed daughter is Violet.

Neither notice names the child or expands E. J. The unnamed son is a research lead, without an established identity or evidence of survival to 1932. Violet’s registered March 19 date is not displaced by an unnamed newspaper birth notice. Nearby Rev. Edward S. Peck marriage/death notices do not establish any relationship to Arthur.

A separate real-estate notice names Lucinda and Methodist trustees

L043’s Real Estate Transfers continuation lists Lucinda D. Peck to trustees of the M. E. Church, Lot 16, Block 92, with no amount visible. This is a separate property and church-connection lead beyond the Baptist founding narrative.

The source fragment has no complete issue header. The adjacent L042 annotation does not independently date every entry. Lot 16, Block 92 is a separate property from 618’s Block 22 parcel, and the notice does not identify the transfer as the one-third Baptist-building donation. No underlying instrument has been retrieved.

Peck family before the Nevada address

Arthur Peck and Frank G. Peck are listed at 219 E. Monument.

Earlier Peck family address; this is not a listing for 618 N. Nevada.

The address appears before the later construction estimate

S. H. Barnes, a train dispatcher for C. M., is listed as residing at 618 N. Nevada.

Evidence of earlier address occupancy. It does not prove the present building existed in 1890, establish Barnes as owner, or resolve the construction date.

Another earlier Peck family address

Arthur Peck and Frank G. Peck are listed at 214 East Cucharas Street; Frank is a mining broker.

Earlier address, not a 618 ownership record.

Arthur Peck is documented at 618

The 1896 directory lists Arthur Peck at 618 North Nevada Avenue.

Amelia Thurston is also documented at the house

Mrs. Amelia Thurston is listed at 618 in 1896; Mrs. A. Thurston remains at 618 in 1898. The 1900 entry spells the name Amelia H. Thursten and identifies her as widow A.

The records show address co-listing with Arthur Peck, not her relationship to the Pecks, tenancy terms, or ownership. Preserve the Thurston/Thursten spelling variation.

Peck occupancy continues

Arthur Peck is again listed at 618 N. Nevada in the 1898 and 1900 directories.

Household labor appears in the record

Ida A. Calson is listed as a domestic at 618 N. Nevada.

Visual review reads Calson; the original OCR says Caison. The entry establishes the directory description and address, not employer, family relationship, or tenure.

Arthur and Lucinda appear together

The directory lists Arthur Peck at 618 N. Nevada, telephone Main 660, with Mrs. Lucinda D. in parentheses. Frank G. Peck is separately listed with Portland Gold Mining Co. at 917 N. Nevada.

The separate 917 address must not be conflated with 618. The family relationship is described in later histories; the directory alone does not establish it.

Arthur Peck is recorded at the house at his death

Municipal death register entry 4313 identifies Arthur Peck as retired, born in New York, aged 72 years, 1 month, 0 days, with place of death 618 No. Nevada Ave. The burial columns give lot 8, block 54. Read with the preceding rows and the May 6 obituary, its date supports May 5, 1907.

Library catalog indexes May 4. The inspected ditto chain carries May 5; the conflict remains visible. This is not a certified vital record. The address column is Place of death, not a separate last-residence field; the row itself does not name a cemetery.

Lucinda remains listed at 618

The North Nevada street guide identifies Mrs. L. D. Peck at 618. The alphabetical entry describes Lucinda D. Peck as widow Arthur.

Directories document the Eaton change of residence

Edwin J. Eaton and Mrs. May S. are at 3 Latania Apartments in 1910. In 1911, Edwin J. Eaton (Mrs. May S.), president of Colorado Savings Bank of Colorado Springs, is at 618 N. Nevada, Main 306; Violet M. Eaton boards there.

This brackets reported residence between compilations. It is not evidence of a deed execution date, recording date, price, or formal exchange.

Lucinda has a new address

Lucinda D. Peck, widow Arthur, is listed at 3 Latonia Apartments in the 1911 directory.

The 1910 Eaton entry spells the apartment name Latania; the 1911 Peck entry spells it Latonia. Similarity is a research lead, not proof of an exchange agreement.

Eaton household continuity

Directories in 1912, 1915 and 1920 keep Edwin J. Eaton and Violet M. Eaton at 618. Edwin is a bank president. His spouse is May S. in 1912 and 1915; the 1920 volume prints Mary S.

Preserve May/Mary rather than silently standardizing the 1920 entry. Mae is the spelling in the later tour guide.

Eaton is still listed at 618

The 1929 directory lists Edwin J. Eaton, president of Colorado Savings Bank of Colorado Springs, with home address 618 N. Nevada.

The directory records a vacancy

The North Nevada street guide lists 618 as vacant. At adjacent 622 it lists Todd Fur Co., Daisy C. Todd, and Lewis E. Camden.

Vacancy is the directory status, not proof of continuous vacancy. Camden is listed at 622, not 618, in this source.

Architectural identification

The later walking tour calls it the Peck Residence, estimates construction about 1896, names no architect, and describes Queen Anne form, a tower, complex gables, shingled walls, decorative cornice and wraparound porch.

A survey-based estimate; the 1890 address entry requires further building-footprint research.

Guide provides family and ownership leads

The guide connects Arthur and Lucinda Peck with early settlement, real estate and mining, names Frank as a Portland Gold Mining secretary, and reports Mae S. Eaton purchasing in 1911.

A later synthesis, not original title evidence. Directory spelling is May S.; separately compare local title notes and recorded instruments.

Historic significance terminology

The tour evaluates the house as National Register eligible.

Eligibility wording is not proof of an actual National Register listing. No individual nomination or listing was verified in this search.

A renovation article is indexed

PPLD indexes a Gazette feature dated 2 January 1994, page F 1:1, with a 618 N. Nevada address note and names Chick and Jan McCormick.

Only catalog metadata was read. No claims are made about the article contents or particular restoration discoveries.

The bed and breakfast is documented photographically

Four PPLD photographs are cataloged as 618 North Nevada Avenue, Room at the Inn. One catalog description records a Victorian Bed & Breakfast sign.

The four photographs are described through their institutional catalog records below. InC-EDU permits educational use; this public site links to them while its display and AI-restoration scope is clarified.

The property sheet is now obtained: printed sheet 2

Direct comparison of the actual Block 22 frontage shows no dwelling outline on the future 618 frontage in November 1895 and a numbered 618 dwelling in October 1900. The earlier inference of sheet 3 from the address index was incorrect; that is adjacent territory.

See D084, pages 2–5, for the actual full sheets and north-up crops. This brackets mapped dwelling appearance, not an exact construction date or proof of bare land.
