Carlton, a country club called the Pine Valley Club and, among other Academy functions, a residence for the United States Air Force Academy Superintendent. OverviewRichard Requa, an architect from San Diego designed the Spanish Colonial Revival house. The main house was built in two phases: the first floor was completed in 1930 and the second floor was completed in 1935. A total of nine buildings were built on the Carlton House property,[2] which includes two guest houses, an auxiliary kitchen, a tea house, pool house, bath house, two stables and a swimming pool. The complex sits on 25.9 acres of heavily wooded with pine, scrub oak and many varieties of evergreen. West Monument Creek crosses the southern edge of the property. Rampart Range to the west of the property affords scenic views from the house and property.[3]Richard Requa's designs were a "Southern California Style" of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture which he defined in his book Architectural Details: Spain and the Mediterranean:[3]
Carlton residenceThe house was first built as a residence for Albert E. Carlton and his wife Ethel Frizzell-Carlton. Carlton purchased the property in 1928 from William A. Otis to build a home for his wife. Carlton was a successful businessman, having invested in mine, banks and railroads. He was named "King of Cripple Creek" due to the success of his mines there, including Cresson Mine,"one of the most profitable mines in the town.[3] Mrs. Carlton had become enamored of the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture during her travels across Southern California. Subsequently architect Richard Requa was hired to design their home. The house was a "leading social center in the region." However, he preferred to live at The Broadmoor resort and never lived at the Pine Valley home. Mr. Carlton died in 1931. Mrs. Carlton furnished the home with antiques that she purchased in Europe and lived there until 1950. She donated antique furnishings to The Broadmoor.[3] Country ClubJack Valentine of Florida purchased the property from Mrs. Carlton for the Pine Valley Club, a popular private country club with a golf course and swimming pool. He landscaped the property and built a pool house and auxiliary kitchen. He sold the property to the government in 1955.[3] Air Force AcademyThe house was used as a Junior-Senior High School during the period in which the School District 20 were completed. Then, due to funding considerations, the house was allocated for use as a home for the Academy Superintendent. Before the Cadet Chapel was completed, weddings were conducted on the property for cadets and their brides. It has also been used for visits by foreign dignitaries and Academy functions.[3] BuildingsAll of the following buildings have a stuccoed exterior. The main house has two stories and the rest are one story buildings. Generally the interior walls are plaster. There are multiple courtyards among and between the buildings.[3]
Maintenance costsIn 2000, Congress mandated that maintenance costs for generals' residences should not exceed $25,000 per year. Anything more than that would require approval.[4] An audit of maintenance expenses found that $2.4 million total had been spent between 1987 and June, 1999; $500,000 covered by the military family housing budget and the remainder from the base operation and maintenance budget. It was estimated that an additional total of $1.2 million would be spent through the fiscal year end in 2006.[14] The auditors found that there were unwarranted expenditures and that there had been inconsistent tagging of public (Academy) vs. private (residential) space and resource usage, which affects which budget is used to pay the expenses. For instance, $300,000 was spent to renovate the kitchen, which had been identified as public space. However, there were about 1.4 functions per month that required the use of the kitchen and most of the improvements were thought to have benefited the residential occupants. Further, renovations were being made more frequently than was standard practice.[5][6] The audit stipulated that "Air Force guidance on historical housing facilities states bases should consider major upgrading, alternate uses, or disposing of historic housing if repair and maintenance costs become excessive."[5][7] References1. ^{{NRISref|2007a}} {{USAFA}}{{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^1 2 {{ cite web | url=http://www.historycolorado.org/archaeologists/el-paso-county | title=El Paso County | publisher=History Colorado | accessdate=May 21, 2013 }} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web | url={{NRHP url|id=89001785}} | title=Carlton House - NRHP Nomination Form | publisher=National Register of Historic Places | accessdate=May 21, 2013}} 4. ^1 {{ cite news | title=Week in Review | newspaper=The Gazette (accessed via HighBeam Research) | location=Colorado Springs, CO | date=August 6, 2000 }} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-060726-018.pdf |title=USAFA General Officers Quarters Audit |publisher=Department of the Air Force |date=October 26, 1999 |accessdate=May 21, 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090805084817/http://www.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-060726-018.pdf |archivedate=August 5, 2009 |df= }} 6. ^{{ cite news | author=John Diedrich | newspaper=The Gazette (accessed via HighBeam Research) | title=Audit details academy spending | date=October 26, 1999 }} 7. ^{{ cite news | author=Mary Boyle | newspaper=The Gazette (accessed via HighBeam Research) | title=Hefley: Reform military construction | date=December 22, 1999 }} 7 : United States Air Force Academy|Buildings and structures in Colorado Springs, Colorado|Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Colorado|Colorado State Register of Historic Properties|Military facilities on the National Register of Historic Places in Colorado|Houses in El Paso County, Colorado|National Register of Historic Places in Colorado Springs, Colorado |
