PERSPECTIVES IN PRESERVATION | SAVING PLACES® 2022

SAVI N G P L ACE S 2 02 2 Welcome to the 2022 Saving Places Conference! We are fortunate and excited to host this annual gathering of preservation advocates, supporters, and professionals once again. This year, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the conference with a reimagined conference experience: a traditional in-person component, a virtual component, and an “on-the-road” component in the San Luis Valley offered later this summer. To manifest this year’s theme “Perspectives in Preservation,” our speakers from the fields of historic preservation, cultural heritage protection, archeology, planning, development, and associated professions will examine the varying interpretations of preservation, discuss what preservation means in different communities and cultures, and help to bring forth the voices and stories that have been hidden, overlooked, lost, and sidelined in our communities and in the preservation movement as a whole. By telling the untold stories and highlighting different preservation perspectives, the knowledge therein becomes a dynamic tool to empower individuals, groups, and communities in a meaningful way through a shared heritage expressed in culture, history, and place to help ensure preservation of our irreplaceable cultural and historical resources.

Reflecting on our conference theme, we also welcome our keynote speakers, Jobie Hill and Sara Bronin.

Jobie Hill is a preservation architect engaged in interdisciplinary research to reveal the hidden and forgotten stories of enslaved people. Through her research, she examines the architecture of slavery, the influence the dwellings had on the lives of their inhabitants, and the preservation of the history of enslaved people. The “Saving Slave Houses (SSH)” project, developed by Ms. Hill in 2012, uses historical data, evidence from remaining structures, and cutting edge technology to tell and preserve the stories of enslaved people to ensure the irreplaceable pieces of history and stories are not lost forever.

Sara Bronin is a professor of planning and law at Cornell University and nominee to chair the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation. In the context of a changing climate, she will discuss the ways in which preservation law must evolve to ensure our tangible heritage is protected. She will focus on the necessary progress needed to better protect cultural and historic sites that speak to human identity and create a sense of connection across generations.

All of us at CPI are grateful to have each of you as involved and active contributors in our strong preservation community.

Working together will focus our collective vision on ensuring a vibrant future for our state and national heritage.

WE ARE COLORADO PRESERVATION, INC. WE ARE COLORADO PRESERVATION, INC. Since 1984, Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) has diligently worked to make a difference in communities throughout the state. Energized around a central theme of “building a future with historic places,” CPI was founded by visionary leaders who identified a need for a statewide nonprofit organization structured around preserving, protecting, and promoting Colorado’s historic places. Historic preservation is much more than keeping “old” buildings standing; preservation is about creating a sense of place, enhancing communities, and revitalizing economies. Our organization promotes the critical connection between people and place.

CPI works to ensure historic places across Colorado are protected and will be preserved for future generations with a small staff of four supported by a board of 18, and a devoted volunteer corps. CPI advances its mission by partnering with property owners, non-profit organizations, educators, and local governments through its signature initiatives Colorado’s Most Endangered Places Program (EPP), its annual Saving Places® Conference and its Dana Crawford & State Honor Awards.

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 25 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. This year we are pleased to announce that through our Preservation Services Program we were able to acquire over $750,000 in grant funding to support historic resources, landscapes, in partnership with more than 30 communities and partner groups throughout Colorado. These projects include supporting the efforts of private property owners as well as small rural communities in need of project assistance.

Another component of CPI’s mission is to promote historic preservation through recognizing key individuals and projects throughout the state who have made a difference. Reuse and rehabilitation projects like Ginger & Baker in Fort Collins, Grand Imperial Hotel in Silverton, Rocky Mountain Land Library in Park County and the Hannah Barker House in Boulder.

Individuals who have committed their lives to making a difference in preservation such as Rebecca Goodwin, Ann Pritzlaff Walker, Ruth Falkenberg & Larry Nelson and organizations like Historic Denver whose mission seeks to “safeguard the soul of our city through education and engagement, to protect and honor Denver’s unique identity for all generations.”

Know of a project, organization, or individual in your community worthy of recognition? Stop by CPI’s information table and find out how to nominate them today!

SILENCED VOICES: RECLAIMING HISTORY IN THE 21ST CENTURY Monday, February 7, 9:00am – 10:15am • Majestic Ballroom

JOBIE HILL - SAVING SLAVE HOUSES Preservation in 2022 looks much different than it did 56 years ago when the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 was passed. Project stakeholders now include the voices of diverse groups, not just the affluent and powerful. Historically excluded communities are being empowered as technology transforms the reach of storytelling and individuals redefine who is “allowed” to be a subject matter expert, expanding it to include those without specific academic degrees. Join Jobie Hill for our keynote presentation as she discusses how communities are deciding to preserve the irreplaceable historic and cultural resources that are quickly disappearing before they are forgotten forever. ** Attendees interested in this topic should plan to attend the follow-up plenary panel which will take a deeper dive into this topic with representative voices from Colorado’s communities. Session hosted by Dawn Diprince with Jobie Hill starting at 10:30am in the Majestic Ballroom.

PERSPECTIVES IN PRESERVATION: A PANEL DISCUSSION Monday, February 7, 10:30am – 11:30am • Majestic Ballroom

MODERATED BY DAWN DIPRINCE - HISTORY COLORADO Which places are saved and what stories are preserved for future generations is an evolving story with historic preservation at the heart. How do we widen the field to have a place for all voices and ensure all community members play an active role in the preservation of place? Community members and historic preservation professionals are in conversations together, but perspectives and goals sometimes differ. How do we change this? In Colorado, we are seeing a reclamation of space addressing generational trauma. A central theme is an identification with the past. The Auraria neighborhood in Denver shows us lost places. The Dearfield community in Northern Colorado bridges us to lost communities. The history of indigenous slavery highlights many lost voices.

Join this panel discussion to consider the redressive nature of this equity lens. By pulling together and hearing a range of perspectives, we understand change is needed both locally and from the top. How are we going to get this done? What opportunities lie ahead for the Colorado preservation community?

ENDANGERED PLACES BREAKFAST

Tuesday, February 8, 8:30am – 10:30am • Majestic Ballroom The Endangered Places Program breakfast highlights the need to preserve threatened historic resources and the impact these places have on their community. This work requires effective partnerships on all levels to ensure preservation measures and incentives are supported.

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Endangered Places Program, CPI will be highlighting five previously listed places that reflect a few of Colorado’s underrepresented voices. Join us for the reveal of Colorado’s Endangered Places emceed by CBS4 Meteorologist Dave Aguilera.

PRESERVATION IN A CHANGING CLIMATE Wednesday, February 9, 10:30am – 11:30am • Online

SARA BRONIN - CORNELL UNIVERSITY Like every other state, Colorado is experiencing a changing climate. Drought, wildfire, and smoke have increased in recent years, with devastating impacts. For preservationists, these changes are cause for concern because they threaten historic places, along with the people and businesses that depend on them. Unfortunately, existing laws do not always allow preservationists the ability to use every physical strategy possible to protect these places.

Join Sara Bronin, professor of planning and law at Cornell University and nominee to chair the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation, as she discusses several ways that preservation law and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards must evolve to ensure tangible heritage will be protected in the future.

MONDAY AFTERNOON | BLOCK A WHAT DOES “PRESERVATION” MEAN? 12:45pm - 2:00pm • Location: Majestic Ballroom • Beginner •

AIA APA

Redefining “Preservation”: how do you define “preservation? Is its current definition too limiting? Recent conversations look to identify different types of cultural resources, but few describe what “preservation” means after a resource is designated. In fact, the operative term after designation changes to “protection,” which implies a defensive position, not a proactive one that supports active use and change. With ever-increasing numbers and types of resources being recognized, the term “preservation” needs a new definition! This session asks participants to engage in drafting a definition of “preservation” for the future. It begins with a provocative tour of some challenging case studies and then shifts to a lively, interactive discussion to draft what preservation truly means.

Speakers: Noré Winter (Winter & Company)

FREMONT COUNTY NATIONAL BANK: A HIDDEN TREASURE REVEALED 12:45pm - 2:00pm • Location: Vail • Intermediate • AIA HSW Engineer For nearly two generations, the original Fremont County National Bank was concealed, entombed behind a c. 1970’s false mansard “modernization.” In 1921 the Fremont County National Bank building was constructed from brick with terra cotta quoins, entablature, and other ornamentations, including monumental polychrome columns flanking its Main Street entry. In 1975 it was purchased by a national financial institution and “modernized” with a false mansard encasing the original building. In 2020 after an option to buy the building was placed by a prominent Canon City businessman, due diligence discovered an access panel into the cavity between the original structure exterior and the mansard inside of which it had been entombed. What had been hidden for nearly two generations was remarkable. The new owner vowed on the spot to return the Bank building to its original splendor while adapting its interior to his modern needs. This is the story of how a hidden gem was revealed, exploring its rehabilitation challenges.

SAVING PLACES® 2022 SCHEDULE

LAYERING PRESERVATION INCENTIVES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 12:45pm - 2:00pm • Location: Columbine • Beginner • APA Local governments have the opportunity to shape the future of preservation in their communities. This session will explore national, state, and local incentives, such as tax credits, grant funding, zoning variances, and façade improvement programs. These incentives can be used to encourage rehabilitation of historic resources and as a way to engage local property owners in preservation programs, helping to revitalize neighborhoods and celebrate community identity.

While this session is aimed toward staff and historic preservation commission members, all are welcome to attend.

Speaker: Lindsey Flewelling (History Colorado), Sara Doll (State Historical Fund), Joseph Saldibar (State Historical Fund)

NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK: WOMEN AND CHILDREN AT THE NORTH LONDON MILL SITE, ALMA, CO 12:45pm - 2:00pm • Location: Terrace • Beginner • Educator Unless you heard the more mundane and day-to-day stories of the common woman or child, you might imagine women in Colorado’s early mining camps and towns only as sex workers who served the camps’ male inhabitants. “Soiled Doves” were quite often not the only women in Colorado’s mining communities, though, and archival and archeological evidence suggests that women were present at the North London Mill site, along with their children, likely as families accompanying mine managers and investors. They were also employed at the site, most notably running a boarding house and accompanying managers to investor meetings in Denver. This session will explore that evidence and consider women’s roles in Colorado mining more broadly, mining some of those more common but less frequently told stories.

Speaker: Kate McCoy (North London Mill Preservation, Inc.), Natasha Krasnow (Colorado- Based Architect), Michelle Slaughter (Alpine Archaeological Consultants)

MONDAY AFTERNOON | BLOCK B LIGHTNING TALK: FOUR TECHNOLOGICAL FACETS OF PRESERVATION 2:15pm - 3:30pm • Location: Majestic Ballroom • Intermediate •

AIA

This fast-paced session will include four dynamic presentations covering a broad array of preservation projects and technical topics. Each presenter will speak for 15 minutes, with slides changing every 30 seconds. The four topics covered are (1) styles and assessment methods of historic log construction, (2) ways we can shift the preservation paradigm from being reactive to proactive, (3) how we can bridge the gap between historic preservation and environmental conservation with the common goal of a more sustainable world, and finally (4) an example of how historic preservation can be leveraged to create diverse and resilient neighborhoods.

Speakers: Natalie Feinberg Lopez (Built Environment Evolution), Kristen Craig (Anderson Hallas Architects),

Larry Lucas (Colorado Department of Local Affairs), Jane Crisler (Eppstein Uhen Architects)

CLG FORUM: SUCCESS STORIES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND THORNY ISSUES 2:15pm - 3:30pm • Location: Vail • Beginner •

APA

Colorado has 67 Certified Local Governments that play an invaluable role in helping to preserve their community’s heritage while promoting livable, vital places throughout the state. Join us for a forum to exchange success stories, share opportunities, and discuss thorny issues that are impacting Colorado’s CLGs – such as development pressures, preservation misconceptions, design review difficulties, and demolition by neglect. We will work together to propose solutions and learn from each other’s successes. All are welcome to attend, even if you’re not directly associated with a CLG.

RIGHTING OUR HISTORIES: DENVER’S LATINO/CHICANO HISTORIC CONTEXT 2:15pm - 3:30pm • Location: Columbine • Intermediate •

APA Educator

Denver’s greater historic fabric comes not only from historic buildings but from the stories of the diverse persons and groups who comprise its vibrant history. Only 4% of Denver’s roughly 8,000 locally designated historic properties represent the cultural, racial, and ethnic identity of the city. In 2019, the City and County of Denver updated its Landmark Preservation Ordinance to include specific culture criteria in its local designation process. Simultaneous to that effort, the Landmark Preservation program began to plan a series of historic contexts to explore the history and historic places of underrepresented communities. The Denver Latino/Chicano Historic Context is the first of these context series that will tell the full story of Denver’s diverse communities, the Denver Latino/Chicano Historic Context uncovers and shares the deep history and historic places of Denver’s Chicano and Latino communities. Through engaging public outreach and traditional historic research, the citywide context provides a historical overview of Latino and Chicano communities in Denver and identifies historic places and spaces that embody that heritage. Learn how this rich history was gathered and is now being shared, protected, and celebrated.

ROLLINS PASS-ION: AN ADVOCACY AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION MASTERCLASS 3:45pm - 5:00pm • Location: Vail • Intermediate Rollins Pass, located in the Southern Rocky Mountains of north-central Colorado, holds 12,000 years of history. In 2012, the area was listed as one of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places, yet new challenges continue to threaten the integrity of this complex cultural resource. This session examines how advocacy—delivered through breathtaking videography/photography, powerful presentations, and alternative dispute resolution—culminated in the collapse of significant threats to the area, including a proposed federal land exchange involving Rollins Pass. Participants will learn how alternative dispute resolution techniques are useful to not only collapse land exchanges but also how best to work with elected officials and land managers on other projects across the United States.

Speakers: Travis Wright (Preserve Rollins)

HOT TOPIC: BUILDING-MOVING AND NEW FOUNDATIONS FOR HISTORIC STRUCTURES 3:45pm - 4:15pm • Location: Columbine • Intermediate • AIA HSW What can be done when a historic building requires a new foundation? What are the pros and cons in using different foundation systems? Learn how to answer these questions while looking at two historic buildings at the CCC Camp in Morrison. Barrack 1 and Barrack 3are practically identical buildings, yet different foundation systems were chosen for the buildings - one used concrete stem walls while the other utilized CMU piers. We will dive into the reasoning behind the different decisions and the pros and cons of each system. The second half of the session will demonstrate the logistics and considerations of physically moving an entire building off its existing foundations then back onto the newly constructed system. Photographic and video documentation of this process will illustrate how the Barrack 3 building was moved in the recent renovation.

HOT TOPIC: DENVER’S LORETTO HEIGHTS CAMPUS REDEVELOPMENT: REACHING PRO-PRESERVATION OUTCOME 11:30am - 12:00pm • Location: Vail • Advanced • APA Large redevelopment projects with historic buildings often require a suite of innovative tools to achieve pro-preservation outcomes. This was the case with the 71-acre former Loretto Heights College campus in southwest Denver. Originally a bucolic setting for the Loretto Heights Academy opened by the Sisters of Loretto in 1891. The campus expanded over 100 years with a diverse array of architect-designed buildings and landscapes. In 2018, the campus was sold to a private developer, and a community planning process ensued to identify redevelopment priorities, including preservation of the historic buildings and designed landscape. This session explores the community engagement process and the preservation, zoning, and other tools agreed upon to ensure the preservation of the campus and the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood, and balanced growth of the area.

CREATIVE PLACEMAKING IN THE GLOBEVILLE, ELYRIA, AND SWANSEA NEIGHBORHOODS 10:45am - 12:00pm • Location: Columbine • Intermediate • Educator The Neighborhood Memory Project was co-created with residents of the Globeville-Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods. As communities of color experience rapid change within their communities, stories of reclamation, collective memory, and pride offer ways of collective healing and civic engagement. This work forms part of a community-driven and led public history work that will form part of Colorado’s collective history. Listen to the voices of community weavers who tell, preserve and imagine the life of their communities. We will discuss the act of midwifery in collective remembering, i.e., what are the stories needing to be shared here, and how do cultural institutions offer that care? What are our acts of reciprocity and tangible ways to communicate back and with communities versus extractive practices that take from the community? A key takeaway will be strategies for centering community when conducting community entry, building trust, and listening.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON | BLOCK E THE SOUTHERN UTE BOARDING SCHOOL, IGNACIO, COLORADO: ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL FOR REHABILITATION 1:30pm - 2:45pm • Location: Majestic Ballroom • Intermediate •

APA

The Southern Ute Boarding School Campus reflects a difficult and multi-faceted story of the Indian Boarding School Era within Colorado and American history.

The federal government’s efforts to control, contain, and civilize the oldest, longest continuous inhabitants of Colorado began pre-statehood with a militarybased model of Americanization. Architecture from the Indian Boarding School era in Colorado is at great risk of vanishing. While salvageable structures from the State are extremely rare, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe has three — the main schoolhouse, dining hall, and girls’ dormitory. As a result of advocacy by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s Cultural Preservation Department, NAGPRA Office, the Southern Ute Indian Tribal Council (Tribal Council) approved the nomination of the campus for Colorado’s Most Endangered Places (EPP) in 2019, which CPI listed in 2020. Following its listing, Tribal Council approved a plan to document the structures and murals and mitigate hazardous building materials while considering the protection and rehabilitation of the buildings.

This presentation includes an overview of Southern Ute Boarding School history, as well as the results from the investigation, analysis, and documentation of the structures and their historic murals, carried out by May & Burch Conservation in 2020. High-resolution photography, 3D mapping, and technical analyses have provided a wealth and breadth of supplemental information to contribute to Tribal Council decision-making for the structures and an accurate archival record and enhanced understanding of the history and significance of the murals. While the murals were painted during the Great Depression, the structures date back to 1902.

MISSION 66 PRESERVATION CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES: BEAVER MEADOWS VISITOR CENTER 1:30pm - 2:45pm • Location: Vail • Intermediate •

AIA HSW

Undervalued and often misunderstood, Mission 66 Buildings within the National Park Service provide unique preservation challenges and opportunities.

This session will explore the design and mechanical deficiencies of the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center as a case study for the preservation of midcentury modern structures. In 2016, the design team at Anderson Hallas assessed this National Historic Landmark’s failing mechanical system extensively.

The new mechanical design required the intricate coordination of new mechanical systems that did not impact historic finishes, provided good ventilation and energy efficiency, and provided a simple-to-operate system while maintaining high acoustic performance in the main public spaces. Come to this session to recognize potential mechanical issues and concerns and understand the mechanical challenges to your current historic building plus identify mechanical systems that work in structurally challenging and historically sensitive buildings. Ultimately, we want you to use mechanical and electrical projects as opportunities for historic rehabilitation.

Speakers: Andrew Duckett-Emke (Anderson Hallas Architects), Graham Johnson (Spectrum), Spencer Rioux (360 Engineering)

HERE GROWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD 1:30pm - 2:45pm • Location: Columbine • Beginner The history of land and buildings for ALL matters! Begin to uncover how historic preservation creates an opportunity to celebrate and empower a diversity of communities. The preservation community can be on the right side of history. With real estate as the vehicle to preserve the buildings and their stories, we can help educate and preserve cultures by investing in community engagement-inspired inclusive preservation initiatives. Learn how you can dismantle the destructive history of buildings that represent racist practices of generations of genocide, slavery, concentration camps, segregation, displacement, blight, arson, riots, and politics. Communities negatively impacted by white supremacy, fragility, privilege, and power are real. Segregation policies, redlining, neighborhood covenants, historic districts, landmark designations, and the people who decide what and where money is invested are exclusive and inclusive at its core. They have impacted local and global community identities. We each have a responsibility and an opportunity to honor racial and social equity in neighborhoods. Join us to understand how buildings and monuments in neighborhoods that were or are currently predominantly Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) have been positively and negatively impacted by the preservation of predominantly European ancestral heritage and culture.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON | BLOCK F DURANGO 550: A CASE STUDY IN TRIBAL OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT DURING SECTION 106 COMPLIANCE FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION 3:00pm - 4:15pm • Location: Majestic Ballroom • Beginner • APA Join us as we discuss a tribal engagement and outreach program (TEOP) conducted by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in association with a recent large-scale, multiyear archaeological excavation near Durango, Colorado. This TEOP was envisioned as an opportunity to move beyond the typical tribal consultation required by Federal regulations and actively engage with tribal elders, members, and youth to provide opportunities for education, cultural preservation, job skill training, and employment in the context of a highway construction project which resulted in adverse effects to Ancestral Pueblo archaeological sites. The session will identify opportunities to expand engagement with tribal communities, recognize challenges that hinder successful outreach and engagement, share innovative “outside the box” methods to improve engagement (including a short film developed for public viewing and providing opportunities for the involvement of tribal youth and elders in the field) and discuss how we measure successful engagement with tribal communities.
