COLORADO’S MOST ENDANGERED PLACES 2023

IN THIS ISSUE

ENDANGERED PLACES PROGRAM IN A TIME OF TRANSITION

In 2022, Colorado’s Most Endangered Places celebrated its 25th anniversary by continuing to provide preservation advocacy, education and technical assistance to the 130 sites on the Endangered Places List, while at the same time concentrating efforts on 5 key sites: Dearfield Farming Colony, Iglesia de San Antonio/ Tiffany Catholic Church, Southern Ute Boarding School Campus, Stranges Grocery and Union Pacific Pumphouse. Each of these BIPOC or rural sites moved forward in significant ways in 2022.

The EPP moves forward in 2023 with the listing of five new sites, as outlined in this brochure: Far View Visitor Center, Feminilas Building, Garcia School, Koch Homestead, and South Platte Hotel. These resources range from late 19th century to mid-century modern, and encompass early adobe buildings tied to the ethnic heritage of regions to early railroading and tourist destinations. Each in their own way reflects Colorado’s remarkable, diverse heritage.

CPI also welcomes Katie Peterson in 2023, succeeding Kim Grant as the Endangered Places Program director. Her youthful energy and passion for historic preservation in Colorado is a welcome addition to the team. Please welcome Katie and join CPI in strengthening Colorado’s Most Endangered Places as we begin another 25 years of building a future with historic places in Colorado.

FAR VIEW VISITOR CENTER MONTEZUMA

The unique “Mission 66” midcentury modern Far View Visitor Center at Mesa Verde National Park has been mothballed, vacant, and subject to the purview of changing park superintendents over time. The building is in excellent condition, retains its historic character and features, and is ripe for a partnership with other entities who could help adaptively re-use it in ways that complement the mission of the National Park Service (NPS). The unique, circular form building was designed by Denver architects Joseph and Louise Marlow in 19671968 and has been determined to be a good candidate for possible National Historic Landmark (NHL) status.

The Far View Visitor Center sits within the Far View complex at Mesa Verde National Park and overlooks the canyons and mesas and topographic landmarks that are significant to the native cultures of the region. As part of the Mission 66 Program, the Park Service developed and introduced the building typology of the "visitor center" to provide orientation and relevant interpretation

distinctively related to its home park. The future of the Far View Visitor Center has essentially remained in limbo since the opening of a new Visitor Center in 2014.

COUNTY

DURING OUR SITE VISIT...A NUMBER OF PEOPLE TOOK THE TIME TO PARK THEIR CARS ABOUT A QUARTER MILE AWAY AND WALK THROUGH THE UNDERPASS TO REACH THE BUILDING AND STAND ON THE OUTSIDE DECK TO TAKE IN THE MAGNIFICENT VIEWS.”

By listing the Far View Visitor Center as one of Colorado's Most Endangered Places, CPI hopes to spur action by the NPS to begin a formal process to explore adaptive re-use options for this one-of-a-kind former visitor center.

FEMINILAS BUILDING COSTILLA COUNTY

The Feminilas Building is located in the Culebra Valley south and east of San Luis, Colorado, and was built around 1920 as the only known building separately owned and operated by the women’s auxiliary of the SPMDTU Hispanic men’s labor organization (Society for the Mutual Protection of United Workers). The small adobe building is in badly deteriorating condition but can be saved and used as a small community and interpretive center to highlight the role of women’s auxiliaries in supporting the SPMDTU and in maintaining local Hispano cultures and traditions. The Feminilas played an integral role in providing aid to the afflicted and bereaved in the area, similar to the Penitentes, which was a traditional men’s group associated with the Catholic Church.

The Feminilas Building was constructed in the territorial adobe style popular in the region, with vigas and latillas with earthen overburden and a gabled wood framed roof. The building is undesignated and suffers from weather exposure and deterioration and is in danger of collapse. Its condition reflects a lack of resources and underappreciation of the contributions and significance of underrepresented groups in the region. Preservation of the Feminilas Building would help to preserve the unique lifeways, language, and culture of the Culebra Valley and the traditional contributions of Hispanic women. CPI will work with the property owners and local stakeholders and advocates to stabilize, rehabilitate, and return the building to a useful life in the community.

HOPEFULLY, THE BUILDING WOULD BE SAVED FROM COLLAPSE...IT REPRESENTS A TRADITIONAL WAY OF LIFE, FOCUSING ON THE TRADITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF HISPANIC WOMEN.”

GARCIA SCHOOL COSTILLA

The Garcia School was one of 11 initial adobe schools built in Costilla County before consolidation in 1963 and is one of the last structurally sound adobe buildings in the area known as the Plaza de los Manzanares, dating back to 1849. The perfectly square building sits on the site of the first Hispano settlement in Colorado. The building retains many historic elements and is relatively intact. The school has great potential as a remote learning center for the Centennial School District and as a community resource.

Garcia School was built in 1913 and is listed on the State Register of Historic Properties. It is suffering from weather exposure, deterioration, abandonment, lack of maintenance and funding, and its isolated

COUNTY

setting. At one time, the school served as a library and Head Start location. The Centennial School District, however, has received $3.5M in grant funding from the Connecting Colorado Students Grant Program to build out its internet in nearby San Luis and establish a Remote Learning Center at Garcia School that will enable all students who have Centennial-provided equipment to access this Internet bandwidth. This was something that was not possible during the Covid pandemic when schools shut down and students were isolated without internet access. CPI will help the school district develop partnerships and access technical assistance to preserve the building and position it as a remote learning center.

“ THE CENTENNIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT R-1 IS LOOKING TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE GARCIA SCHOOL AS PART OF THE DISTRICT'S HISTORY AND HERITAGE BY MAKING SURE THE BUILDING IS ARCHITECTURALLY SOUND AND ALSO SAFE TO OCCUPY FOR FUTURE USE.”

KOCH HOMESTEAD PITKIN COUNTY

The Koch Homestead consists of 5 relatively intact but deteriorating buildings in the beautiful Hunter Creek Valley near Aspen. Today few know of the origins of this group of historic structures, despite the fact that they played such an important part in the early settlement and development of Aspen. This homestead, developed by William C. Koch beginning in 1887, not only furnished the first local meat, produce, dairy, and lumber sawmill, but also was the first source of reliable fresh water and hydro-power to miners and their families in the nearby townsite of Aspen.

“ THE KOCH HOMESTEAD BUILDINGS STAND ON PUBLIC LANDS AND ARE A BELOVED PART OF THE LANDSCAPE. THE RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION OF THIS DECAYING HOMESTEAD WILL ALLOW RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO SEE WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT THROUGH COLORADO. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO COLORADO PRESERVATION INC. AND HUNTER CREEK HISTORICAL FOUNDATION FOR SAVING THESE UNIQUE RESOURCES! ”

The 60-acre Koch Homestead site is located in White River National Forest and is owned by the U.S. Forest Service and has been determined preliminarily eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Hunter Creek Foundation has received a grant from the Trust for Public Land through a bequest from the John Baird Family Fund and has built partnerships with Pitkin County, Aspen Historical Society, Independence Pass Foundation, and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails for the project. HistoriCorps has completed stabilization of the Shop building and is contracted for additional work on the Road House and Dam Keepers Cabin in 2023 and 2024.

CPI believes that it is important for historic structures such as the Koch Homestead to remain intact as a testament to those early settlers and for current and future generations to understand and appreciate.

THE SOUTH PLATTE HOTEL

The South Platte Hotel is under imminent threat of demolition. It is currently managed by Denver Water, which has owned the area near the confluence of the South Platte River and its North Fork. The South Platte Hotel is located in the North Fork Historic District and was an important stop on the Denver, South Park, and Pacific Railroad. The hotel has been abandoned and neglected for decades and is vulnerable to vandalism and damage from weather exposure.

The South Platte Hotel was built in 1913 after the original 1887 building was destroyed by arson. The hotel and townsite is emblematic of Colorado’s narrow gauge railroad history, early tourism and summer cabin communities, and small hotels located along stagecoach and rail lines. Denver Water has owned the site since 1987 but has never gained approval for construction of

JEFFERSON COUNTY

the Two Forks Dam. Strong support for preservation exists in the local community and the building has potential for adaptive re-use that supports popular nearby recreational activities which now define the valley and its communities. Potential partners include Jefferson County Historical Commission, Conifer Historical Society and Museum, Denver Water, Evergreen Mountain Area Historical Society, Pine/Elk Creek Improvement Association, Buffalo Creek Improvement Association, History Jeffco, and Jefferson County Open Space.

WHILE THE HOTEL HAS SERVED MANY PURPOSES OVER THE YEARS, WHAT REMAINS VITAL IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SOUTH PLATTE HOTEL IN A HISTORIC SENSE AND RECOGNIZES THE CRITICAL PIECE OF RAILROAD HISTORY THAT WAS A DYNAMIC FORCE IN THE SETTLEMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH OF COLORADO.”

R+R MARKET SAVED! LOST!

After a successful transition to new ownership and completion of $94,306 in rehabilitation work, the oldest continuously operating business in Colorado, formerly known as the R&R Market and now known as the San Luis People’s Market, has been saved from an uncertain fate. Long time San Luis Valley resident, Dr. Devon Peña, who founded the Acequia Institute to promote water democracy, resilient agriculture, and environmental justice in the San Luis Valley, has taken on the challenge of operating the market, which has always been much more than just a grocery store. The Acequia Institute received a $1.5 million grant from the Colorado Health Foundation to help with acquisition of the R&R Market and its re-branding and transition to a new business model that ties the operation into the larger program initiative for Culebra River Acequia (community irrigation ditch) Communities in the Upper Rio Grande bioregion.

Prior owners Felix and Claudia Romero, who operated the market for 52 years and nominated it to Colorado’s Endangered Places in 2019, participated in the rehabilitation of key preservation priorities through the Colorado Main Street Open for Business Grant that was made in 2022. That grant resulted in storefront glazing, roof coating, repair of the historic character defining entryway/vestibule, exterior lighting, and painting of the façade. CPI congratulates the new owners and the Town of San Luis and looks forward to celebrating this “Save” of one of Colorado’s oldest historic resources.

CRAIG DEPOT

Constructed in 1917, the Craig Depot was exceptional in the history of the small town of Craig. According to an article in the Craig Daily Press, “the depot was crowded to the doors and part of the ceilings with happy dancers and one of the most delightful times of the winter-spring season was had.” The Moffat Line and the Craig Depot were the hub of activity for transporting livestock, coal, supplies, and people to and from the isolated area. By the 1950s, more wool was shipped by rail from Craig than from any other place in the world. The depot served both Utah and Wyoming in addition to residents of northwest Colorado.

The Craig Depot operated until 1985 when the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad shut its doors. At the time of its listing on Colorado’s Most Endangered Places in 2008, the building sat vacant and exposed to the elements. Over the past decade, significant damage and vandalism had afflicted the building. Sitting between active railroad tracks, negotiations began to move the quickly deteriorating building. The Union Pacific Railroad, the Town of Craig, the Wyman Museum, the Museum of Northwest Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society, and Colorado Preservation, Inc. all attempted to finance and arrange for the Depot to be moved. Unfortunately, funding fell through and the Craig Depot was demolished in April 2022.

Though the Depot may be gone, its story lives on at the Museum of Northwest Colorado. Fortunately, Dan Davidson, the museum's director, saved portions of the building before it was gone forever—the Depot’s clock, a bench, a destination sign, and Carnegie steel have all been salvaged from the building. A lesson learned from losing this listed site is how early momentum is key in sustaining an effort over time. In the end, losses relate to missed opportunities of fully documenting a site before it is too late.

CBS4 AND COLORADO’S MOST ENDANGERED PLACES

For over 20 years CPI has worked with CBS4 producer Kevin Strong and his talented crew of photographers to bring Colorado’s Most Endangered Places to life, capturing through dynamic videos the stories, historic beauty, and diversity of the state’s threatened and endangered resources. The filmed interviews with local site supporters take place in all kinds of weather—from hot and dry to freezing cold—and then are edited, produced, and premiered at the annual Saving Places Conference in February. The local sites then can use the videos to promote their preservation efforts in the community and across the state. Listed endangered sites point to the films as being instrumental in helping to advance their preservation goals. Each mini-documentary demonstrates to the public the importance of saving historic places; highlighting why these places matter and who will be shaping their future.

CPI also features CBS4 meteorologist Dave Aguilera as the host of the 2023 Most Endangered Places Announcement at the annual Saving Places Conference. Aguilera is a Colorado native, born and raised in Pueblo, and has covered weather and news across the state.

Colorado Preservation, Inc. is grateful to CBS4 and the team dedicated to promoting important heritage sites statewide.

ALPINE BANK & WEEKEND WORKSHOPS

Alpine Bank is a proud sponsor of Colorado Preservation, Inc.’s annual Weekend Workshops. Each summer, EPP brings volunteers together to work hands-on with a listed Endangered Places site. These workshops provide the opportunity for interested individuals to learn aspects of preservation trades while supporting an important piece of Colorado history.

Since 2008, CPI has conducted 13 Weekend Workshops in communities across the state. Volunteers joining CPI for these workshops over the years have helped rebuild the Adobe Stables in Rocky Ford, laid roofing on the historic railroad depot in Como, and placed historic brick to rebuild the floor of a reconstructed barracks at Amache Internment Center in Granda. Volunteers helped stabilize historic timber walls at the Ute Ulay Mill & Mine in Lake City, restored historic windows at the Dunn Block in Saguache, and cleaned the Tarryall-Cline Ranch near Fairplay. Volunteers were crucial in buying time for the vacant Walker Cabin near Delta in Escalante Canyon and stabilizing the historically significant Elk Creek Octagon Barn in Jefferson County.

In 2021, volunteers had the unique opportunity to learn about adobe construction at the Lafayette Head Home & Ute Indian Agency in Conejos. Co-led by Adobe in Action and Cornerstones, 35 participants helped preserve the servant and slave quarters at the site by mixing mud to apply stucco finishes and learning about pigmentation techniques and treatments.
