Preserving Our History
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. (Paraphrase of some famous quote by a famous person.)
The City of Pueblo will soon be considering landmarking two new historic districts, one around Rosemount and the other just north of Parkview Medical Center.
Both districts are the result of an Historic Architecture Survey undertaken by Historitecture, LLC. Most of the documents developed by them are available on their web site. The study itself, with maps of the proposed districts can be found on the City of Pueblo’s web site. Details about historic districts which are landmarked by the City can be found at the Historic Preservation Commission’s web site, including a copy of the ordinance.
A team from the Old Historic Northside Organization, Inc., the neighborhood association which includes the historic districts, is going door-to-door with information about historic districts. The literature includes a pros and cons sheet and a frequently asked questions sheet.
