116 S 8th Street has had only four owners. In 1887 Milton Pauly purchased it, and in 1916 his son Charles sold the property to Katherine Robinson, who was married to HW Robinson -- both were teachers. The home was built in 1922. In 1940 the home sold to Elmer Bair, a sheep rancher in the Roaring Fork Valley; he owned Bair Ranch on the Colo River. In 1925 Elmer worked in Marble at the Yule Quarry. He lived to the age of 104. In 2003 the property was sold by the family trust. The Craftsman style is recognized here in the simple rectangular form, the deep-set porch, the exposed rafter tails, the tapered porch columns, and the grouped window pattern with divided lights in the upper sash. The substantial quality and design demonstrate a willingness to invest in the growing community, and an interest in the prevalent style of the day.
