The Scott Apartments and Garage at 900 S. College Avenue represents Fort Collins’ adaptation of a new type of residential housing: the commuter-friendly apartment building, aimed at working class professionals. While there is no attributed architect, Gustav Edwin Lundborg probably designed the building. Prolific Fort Collins-based contractor Herman Schroeder was the contracted builder. The company aimed to cater to middle and working class Fort Collins residents during a population boom for the city. The Scott Apartments is also a particularly distinctive and unique example of a small number of sizable apartment buildings constructed in Fort Collins prior to the 1950s.
