COLORADO PRESERVATION, INC.’S SAVING PLACES ® CONFERENCE FE B 4 - 7 , 2 0 1 9 | D E N V E R , C O

SAVING PLACES 2019 Welcome to the 2019 Saving Places Conference! We are excited to host this annual gathering of preservation advocates, supporters, and professionals. Many of us were stunned when Larimer Square was listed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 11 Most Endangered Places of 2018. Colorado’s shining example of how historic preservation can recreate a neighborhood is currently in danger of losing its historic character. In 1971, it served as a pivotal example of how preservation could transform a city when it became Denver’s first historic district. Today, 48 years later, it is sending a very different message -- a reminder that preservation in perpetuity is not a guarantee. Larimer Square is proof that we, as preservationists, must always be on guard and that preservation is a verb, not a noun.

This conversation shaped our 2019 Saving Places Conference. The conference theme, “The Next Generation of Preservation: A Call to Action,” was chosen because our mission is in peril. If you are also concerned, our 2019 lineup of speakers and sessions is for you.

Our plenary speaker, Bryan C. Lee, was named one of the National Trust’s “40 under 40,” a program recognizing movers and shakers expanding our view of preservation. Lee will challenge us to think outside the box when engaging diverse communities with architecture and preservation. Our Endangered Places Luncheon speaker, Mike Buhler is President and CEO of San Francisco Heritage, an organization leading the charge on civic discussion about the compatibility of rapid change and protecting the past – a very timely topic for Coloradoans!

And because we at CPI recognize that ‘tried and true’ strategies may need some updates, we’re trying something new this year.

CPI is working with the National Trust to bring you “TrustLive.” Danielle Del Sol, Executive Director of the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans, will present a keynote highlighting forward looking techniques for preserving heritage. A discussion featuring several preservationists – including Historic Denver’s Annie Levinsky! – will follow Del Sol’s address.

All of us at CPI are very excited about the 2019 conference. Our work is not done, and complacency is not our friend. Coming together as preservationists offers our best path toward assuring that historic preservation plays a part in Colorado’s vibrant future.

A call to Action | Saving Places® 2019

WE ARE COLORADO PRESERVATION, INC. Since 1984, Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) has demonstrated the importance of Saving Places and the critical connection

between people and place. Historic Preservation is so much more than keeping “old” buildings standing; preservation is about creating a sense of place, enhancing communities, and revitalizing economies. CPI is your local statewide nonprofit partner, promoting historic preservation by advocating for preservation issues, providing technical assistance statewide and through our signature programs such as Colorado’s Most Endangered Places and the Saving Places Conference. CPI works to ensure historic places across Colorado are protected and will be preserved for future generations. The Saving Places Conference is one of the many ways CPI advances historic preservation, by bringing together individuals, organizations, communities, and projects from across the nation to discuss the latest in preservation, looking at common concerns and challenges while celebrating our collective accomplishments. For over 20 years, CPI has provided essential training and networking opportunities to individuals like YOU who are working to protect our state’s heritage.

Thank you to the many people, organizations, and supporters who have helped (and continue to help) make the conference what it is today! CPI is particularly grateful to History Colorado - State Historical Fund for their generous support, which has made this conference possible. Thank you for joining us and please stop by our CPI table to introduce yourself to our Executive Director, Jennifer Orrigo Charles, CPI Board and Staff.

Our Mission in Action Colorado’s history is important to us, as we know it is to you. Each year conference attendees share ideas, make new connections, and learn new tools to advance the work of preservation in Colorado. Thank you for being a part of the preservation movement by attending this year! Thank you for your commitment to our shared history and places that collectively represent where we came from and shape the future.

CPI works statewide with sites, community leaders, residents and organizations to ensure we build a future with Colorado’s historic resources. Through our signature initiatives like Colorado’s Most Endangered Places and our Preservation Services Program, we work with the public to identify and protect some of the state’s most important, yet threatened, sites. An important part of saving places is identifying what funding resources are available and how these programs can be used to the benefit of projects in the State. We are pleased to announce that with HB 1190, Colorado successfully reauthorized its Historic Preservation Tax Credit, which provide critical funds to projects statewide. CPI and our coalition partners advocated for its reauthorization, which were approved for an additional ten years with extra incentives introduced for communities in defined rural areas. Make sure to attend some of our in-depth sessions on state and federal tax credits that explain how they can become another tool for your project and/or community. If you have a property that could qualify for the credits and you would like to learn more, visit CPI’s information table in the lobby at the conference for more information.

PLENARY PRESENTATION

Tuesday, February 5, 8:30am • Plaza Ballroom ABC Bryan C Lee, Jr. Director of Design, Colloqate CPI is pleased to host Bryan C. Lee, Jr., recently recognized by the National Trust as one of “40 Individuals Under 40 Making a Community Difference.” Mr. Lee is a Designer and Design Justice Advocate and Director of Design at Colloqate.

Bryan has led two award-winning architecture and design programs for high school students through the Arts Council of New Orleans and the National Organization of Minority Architects. Among many achievements, he was selected for the 2018 Fast Company Most Creative People in Business.

TRUSTLIVE: RESAVING SAVED PLACES

Tuesday, February, 5 10:00am • Plaza Ballroom ABC CPI is pleased to announce a partnership presentation between CPI and the National Trust, which brings a TRUSTLIVE event to the Saving Places Conference. This dynamic event will be broadcasted live across the country and will address the question, is a place ever truly saved? Fifty years after the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act and decades since preservationists secured the future of places like Larimer Square and the Ashley River Road National Scenic Byway route near Charleston, South Carolina, we find ourselves revisiting familiar places confronting new threats. Resaving Saved Places will feature a keynote by Danielle Del Sol, the new Executive Director of the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans. New Orleans, like Denver and Charleston, exemplify some of the best and most forward-looking techniques for preserving heritage. Danielle will be joined by Anne Nelson, associate general counsel at the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Annie Levinsky, Executive Director for Historic Denver for a facilitated conversation moderated by Susan West Montgomery, Vice-President for Preservation Resources at the National Trust.

ENDANGERED PLACES LUNCHEON

Tuesday, February 5, 12:00pm – 1:30pm • Plaza Ballroom ABC MIKE BUHLER, President & CEO, San Francisco Heritage Since 2010, Mike Buhler has served as executive director for San Francisco Heritage (SFH), a nonprofit committed to preserving and enhancing San Francisco’s architectural and cultural identity. In 2013, SFH initiated a program to celebrate and recognize the city’s iconic and longstanding legacy businesses; many of which were facing the threat of eviction and closure due to increased rents. What began as a registry of legacy bars and restaurants has since developed into a Legacy Business Historic Preservation Fund, which provides grants to both legacy business owners and property owners who agree to lease extensions with Legacy Business tenants. Mr. Buhler will share San Francisco’s story of saving its “intangible heritage” to inspire Colorado cities to advocate for their own legacy and heritage businesses.

WESTERN HERITAGE LUNCHEON

(a ticketed event)

Monday, February 4, 12:00pm – 1:30pm • Plaza Ballroom ABC DR. JARED ORSI, Professor, Department of History at Colorado State University and Director of the Public Lands History Center This lunch will provide a deep dive into the state of preservation in Colorado with Dr. Jared Orsi, Director of CSU’s Public Lands History Center and on Colorado’s State Historians Council. Dr. Orsi will use case studies from his research on the environmental history of the American West to imagine next-gen possibilities for bridging social divides through place-based preservation and interpretation on public lands. Dr. Jared Orsi is professor of history at Colorado State University, specializing in environmental and borderlands history. He is the author of the prize-winning Hazardous Metropolis: Flooding and Urban Ecology in Los Angeles (University of California Press, 2004) and Citizen Explorer: The Life of Zebulon Pike (Oxford University Press, 2014), as well as numerous articles, book chapters, and public history reports. He serves as director of CSU’s Public Lands History Center, for which he co-edited “National Parks beyond the Nation: Global Perspectives on America’s Best Idea” (University of Oklahoma Press, 2016). His favorite class to teach is a summer field trip course that follows Zebulon Pike’s 1806-1807 route across Colorado.

Longtime Colorado preservationist Ann Pritzlaff will then conclude the luncheon with the presentation of the Ann Alexander Pritzlaff Leadership Award to Dana Crawford, esteemed member of our community.

TRANSFORMATION UNDERWAY AT THE NATIONAL WESTERN CENTER 10:30am-1:00pm Since 1906, the National Western Center has been a part of Denver and Colorado’s history.

Redevelopment represents a transformation of the National Western Complex into a yearround global destination for agricultural heritage and innovation. Led by the Mayor’s Office of the National Western Center, join this tour for a boots-on-the-ground view of future plans, preservation challenges, and construction underway at the National Western Center. No special attire is required to participate in this tour, but please wear sturdy walking shoes and outdoor winter attire.

FIVE POINTS: A TRANSFORMING NEIGHBORHOOD 1:30pm-4:00pm APA Come tour Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood with Five Points resident Julie Johnson (Cultural Resources Manager, City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks). While this tour has been offered in past years, much has happened and changed in just two years. Historically, Five Points has been home to Denver’s African-American community. There was a time when it was known for the jazz musicians who would stay at the Rossonian Hotel, as well as the bustling community supported by Welton street businesses. It fell on hard times and was also known as a ‘bad neighborhood.’ It’s recently been ground zero for development and change. Meet some of the people involved in this transformation while learning the history and the issues involved with this neighborhood transformation.

DENVER HISTORY THROUGH BEER 1:30pm-4:00pm Join us as we explore two local breweries that demonstrate how Colorado’s beer culture is taking advantage helping save unique historic places! The tour will begin with a visit to Station 26 brewery, a brewery located in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood in a renovated Fire Station.

Following Station 26, attendees will be transported via bus to the next site, driving through the RiNo Art District where they will see how the neighborhood utilizes former warehouses for breweries and other businesses. The tour will end at Colorado’s oldest brewery, the Tivoli Brewing Company. The Tivoli Brewing Company started in 1859, selling beer to thirsty miners and early Denver settlers. It eventually grew to become the largest brewery west of the Missouri River. The Tivoli Brewing Company is a great example of a project that used Historic Preservation Tax Credits to help fund recent rehabilitations.

MONDAY MODERN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS OF OLD LITTLETON 1950-1980 9:00am-10:15am • Location: Governors Square 11 • Session Level: Intermediate

SAVING PLACES® 2019 SCHEDULE APA

In 2014, CPI placed the “Mid-Century Resources of Littleton Boulevard” on their list of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places. Since listing, the City of Littleton successfully applied for a SHF grant to survey and document every postwar Modernist commercial building in and around West Littleton Boulevard. Littleton plans to use the research and survey information as a foundational component informing city planning in the area.

This session will teach attendees the survey methods used by consultants Diane Wray Tomasso and Michael Paglia, which have been refined and developed over the last thirty years. The session will also look at issues related to surveying Modern architecture that presented challenges for preservationists accustomed to dealing with traditional buildings displaying an entirely different set of defining features. To help bridge this gap, the consultants adopted and further developed an architectural vocabulary to present the methods, materials and styles of Modernism. The session will conclude with tools that attendees can use to present survey results to city staff, elected officials, community leaders, building owners and development interests as well as the general public.

Speakers: Diane Wray Tomasso (Consultant for City of Littleton), Michael Paglia (Consultant for City of Littleton)

HOT TOPIC: LINSEED OIL PAINT: OLD WOOD’S NEW BEST FRIEND 9:00am-9:30am • Location: Governors Square 10 • Session Level: Intermediate

Discover why linseed oil paint is amazing! This traditional paint fell out of popularity in the 1950s as latex and petroleum-based oil paints took favor. Linseed oil paint has been used and manufactured in Scandinavian countries for years and is making a comeback in the USA. Traditional linseed oil paint offers many advantages over modern commercial paints, offering durability, cost effectiveness, and compatibility with historic materials. It is particularly well suited to protecting old wood and forms a hydrating, penetrating bond rather than a short-lived surface film application commonly seen with modern paints. This session will focus on the benefits of using linseed oil paint, methods of application, modern results, and provide hands-on samples. Find out why linseed oil paint is and should be old wood’s new best friend!

Speakers: Shannon Dennison (Denver Mountain Parks)

HOT TOPIC: HIDDEN TOOLS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION

9:45am-10:15am • Location: Governors Square 10 • Session Level: Intermediate

APA

Communities with limited staff time and funding need to utilize every tool available to preserve properties and neighborhoods with historic significance. Sometimes these threatened properties are not landmarked, the community does not have developed design guidelines, and/or there may not be a preservation plan in place. How can a community use existing plans and development codes to support their preservation efforts? This session will look at this issue with the goal of identifying ways to look beyond existing plans, codes, policies etc. that are directly related to historic preservation to identify new tools and resources. Many communities fail to realize that existing plans and development codes include goals, policies, and standards that already indirectly support preservation efforts. This session will include examples and observations from the City of Longmont’s Comprehensive Plan, Envision Longmont, and the newly updated Land Development Codes.

Speakers: Karen Bryant (City of Longmont), Erin Fosdick (City of Longmont)

MONDAY MORNING | BLOCK B LIGHTNING TALK: BUILDING REHABILITATION CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPHS 10:30am-11:45am • Location: Plaza Ballroom D • Session Level: Intermediate AIA Learn how a community can restore deteriorated buildings to new uses, the impacts of design decisions on building longevity, the work required to convert a temporary structure to permanent use, and how technical challenges for engineered wood products are very different than those for wood construction.This session includes four dynamic presentations covering Colorado preservation projects and topics.

Each presenter will present for 15 minutes with slides changing every 30 seconds. This fast-paced format will create a quick and highly informative overview of these topics: “Three Different Properties, Three Different Uses for Three Different Communities,” “Preservation of the Temporary,” “The Saga of the Sagging Ceilings,” and “Challenges with Wood as a Changing Construction Material.”

RURAL DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES AND SOLUTIONS

10:30am-11:45am • Location: Governors Square 11 • Session Level: Beginner Rural Colorado communities face unique development pressures. These community challenges are particularly difficult to overcome with little access to money and capacity.

THE ENDANGERED PLACES PROGRAM—WORKING TO SAVE

10:30am-11:45am • Location: Governors Square 10 • Session Level: Beginner For over 22 years, Colorado’s Most Endangered Places program has worked with communities across Colorado to save the threatened historic buildings and resources that give our cities, towns and rural places their distinctive heritage, identity and character. By so doing CPI works with individuals, organizations and communities to build a future with historic resources. In many cases, the sites in question are severely dilapidated by the time communities rally to save them. But this session, focusing on The McElmo Creek Flume near Cortez and the 4Bar4 Ranch near Fraser, proves that it’s never too late to get started. Both presentations offer lessons on the development of partnerships and resources at the local level to save important historic architecture and engineering infrastructure, including their unique wooden elements that were threatened by weatherization and natural forces.

Speakers: Linda Towle (Historic Preservation Consultant), Ronda Dorchester (Save the 4Bar4), Kim Grant (Colorado Preservation, Inc.)

HOT TOPIC: MID-CENTURY MODERN STAINED GLASS, ARCHITECTURE, AND DESIGN 10:30am-11:00am • Location: Plaza Ballroom E • Session Level: Beginner/Intermediate AIA HSW The Mid-Century Modern movement was a combination of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie Style inspiration of the melding of home with an environment and a generation of primarily German architects; a variety of styles also ranged from Bauhaus “glass houses” to Cliff May’s Spanish Hacienda. Mid-Century properties feature simplicity and extensive use of glass windows that dissolve boundaries between the indoors and outdoors. The stained glass they used followed the architectural geometric designs and angular shapes incorporating in the building design, thus continuing the philosophy to be in harmony with nature - in essence “bringing the outdoors in”. The Space Age was a time of exciting new discoveries, dramatic architectural design, and a new boldness of contemporary stained glass design in churches with massive glass walls. The time provided opportunities for majestic stained glass windows, yet with many challenges.

2:15pm-3:30pm • Location: Governors Square 10 • Session Level: Intermediate

AIA & APA

Colorado’s Residential Historic Preservation Tax Credit is one of the best in the nation, based on its value and how long it can be used. To qualify, all work must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standard for the Treatment of Historic Properties. While the National Park Service provides excellent guidance for building exteriors and interiors of commercial buildings, little to no direction is provided for residential interiors. This lack of information leaves both homeowners and preservation commissions operating in a vacuum when it comes to applying for and reviewing residential credits. Bring the blurry vision of interior residential design and review into focus. Listen and learn as experts in the field present questions, options, and decisions to assist in determining important character-defining features that aid in modernizing while adhering to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards.

DO WE CARE ABOUT THAT? DECIDING WHAT TO REGULATE. 1:45pm-3:00pm • Location: Plaza Ballroom D • Session Level: Intermediate/Advanced

APA

Though all local design guidelines are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, these guidelines vary widely in what and how they regulate. Each community must decide what defines their community’s character and the most effective way to preserve it; balancing preservation standards with public support, practicality, and economics. This session will examine the different ways communities interpret standards for their community. Where does your community take a stand? If it cannot be seen, do you chose to still regulate it? If it is reversible, does it matter? Come see how design guidelines from across the country vary in how they address issues such as windows, site work, paint, alternative materials, energy efficiency, additions, storefronts, and accessory buildings. Approve and deny sample projects to see how your community compares to other attendees. Gain a better understanding of how communities make these choices through several commission case studies.

Preservation planners in Boulder County were faced with an increasing number of applications for alterations to A-frame buildings without a context for understanding this unique building type. In response, an historic context study was undertaken to understand the role of the A-frame nationally and within Boulder County in particular- bringing to light the story of a Front Range company responsible for producing hundreds of prefabricated A-frame buildings found throughout the Rocky Mountain region.

Speakers: Jennifer Wahlers (ARCH Professionals), Dianna Litvak (Mead & Hunt, Inc.)

TRAILMAP TO RESTORATION - A GRASSROOTS JOURNEY TO SUCCESS 9:00am-10:15am • Location: Directors Row H • Session Level: Beginner Like many small towns in Southeast Colorado, the Main Street of Eads was in a state of decline. Then, a high school teacher and her students dreamed a vision to formed a strong group of stakeholders - citizens, elected officials, the National Park Service, and others - all united in a common goal. Part of their vision even served as a model for other communities in the region. Many trails lead to restoration, and the story of Eads started at a grassroots level. This session will provide participants with a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts trail map for that journey as presented by someone who was in on it from the beginning. Throughout the presentation, participants will be encouraged to imagine taking their own journey to save that significant place by answering such questions as: What is your destination? Who is willing to go along? Who do you need that you don’t have? Who will be the guide? Where do you start? Who will be getting the resources? Where is the quicksand? How do you keep people believing in the journey and motivated to keep going? Those are just a sample of the questions that will be addressed (and answered) by someone who’s been down that trail and can tell that tale about a project that not only changed an entire town and a county but now looks like it might impact the entire region.

Speakers: Cindy McLoud (Kiowa County)

INCORPORATING MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION INTO HISTORIC MAIN STREET 9:00am-10:15am • Location: Governors Square 10 • Session Level: Intermediate APA Longmont has worked hard to create a vibrant downtown especially its Main Street, which includes a National Historic District and a Creative District. With current trends in transportation moving towards multi-modal systems that include cars, buses, light rail, trains, and bicycles; conflicts have arisen. This presentation will look at the proposed use of Coffman Street, one block west of Main Street, as a multi-modal corridor to preserve the historic properties on Main Street while meeting the City’s growing transportation needs. The proposed corridor includes center-running bus lanes, general purpose traffic lanes, protected bike lanes, and parking. A 100-foot wide right of way (back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk) makes this possible, originally platted for Coffman Street with the founding of Longmont in 1871. With this width, a multi-use corridor was designed and can be constructed with few impacts to adjacent historic properties. The project invigorates the downtown by moving buses and bikes to a safer, less congested facility and away from the busy Main Street/US-287 while ensuring preservation goals are met. The presentation will include a discussion on the in-process Main Street Corridor Plan.

Speakers: Karen Bryant (City of Longmont), Phil Greenwald (City of Longmont), Erin Fosdick (City of Longmont)

HOT TOPIC: EXPLAINING USE MANAGEMENT IN FEDERAL HISTORIC PROPERTIES 1:15pm-1:45pm • Location: Directors Row H • Session Level: Intermediate APA Federal cultural resource managers often face unique challenges when it comes to preserving historic properties, especially when these historic properties are still serving their original purpose and their preservation conflicts with the agency’s mission. For over a century, Reclamation’s water delivery projects have been integral to the settlement and development of the American West; these Reclamation projects have created a number of historic landscapes with sites and districts eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. However, these properties are still performing their original purpose, and oftentimes must be structurally altered, if not destroyed, in order to fulfill agreements and treaties with local water user associations, tribes, and foreign nations. This session explores this topic through the historic properties owned by the Bureau of Reclamation and by archaeologists working out of Reclamation’s Western Colorado Area Office.

Speakers: Steven Mac Manion Jr. (Bureau of Reclamation), Kristin Bowen (Bureau of Reclamation)

HOT TOPIC: WHO IS SERVED BY WHAT IS PRESERVED? UNDERSTANDING THE

PRESERVATION NEEDS OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES 2:00pm-2:30pm • Location: Directors Row H • Session Level: Beginner APA For many underserved communities, preservation of histories is also preservation of identity, culture, and rights. Loss of history can have devastating and far-reaching impacts on sovereignty, access to resources, and the health, safety, well-being, and continuity of cultures and individuals. Traditional preservation of materials and the built environment is evocative of permanence, yet history is also preserved through language and stories that are retained in social memory. Historical complexity is also characteristic of underserved communities. Identities intersect and compete with each other based on ethnicity, culture, gender, and sexual orientation. The next generation of preservation has a chance to unite diverse and intersecting communities through the common desire to have our many and diverse stories told and retold.

Preserving our complex and common human past can unite humanity in a divided present and provides myriad opportunities for connection and awareness of our common humanity, its challenges, celebrations, and hopes.

Speakers: Elizabeth Perry (Crow Canyon Archaeological Center)
