Recognized by CPI as a Most Endangered Place in 2016 and the recipient of a Save America’s Treasures grant, the Tabor Opera House in Leadville is now undergoing a significant rehabilitation, thanks to funding from organizations including History Colorado, DOLA, Partners in Preservation, and the National Park Service. The majority of the exterior envelope is associated with Horace Tabor, with construction completed in only 100 days in 1879, while the interior is representative of a major remodeling project by the Elks in 1902. Thanks to generous grantors, the rehabilitation of the masonry and windows on the west (front) elevation are underway. Both building components are highly deteriorated, requiring skilled craftspeople to carry out the work. The preservation of a ghost-painted sign is also planned. In addition, construction documents for the rehabilitation of the interior have been completed with the goal of providing modern amenities and accessibility while respecting the building’s character-defining features. Participants of this workshop will be able to view plans for the building’s future rehabilitation in conjunction with touring the building in its current condition as well as view “preservation in action” as masonry and window restoration contractors work on the west building elevation. Interaction between the participants and the workshop hosts will be promoted.

Thaddeus Hust

Thaddeus Hust has been in the masonry and landscaping profession since 1994, when he first began working with stone in the landscape during his summer breaks in Durango, CO while attending Fort Lewis College and majoring in Latin American Studies.

Thaddeus started out working on flagstone patios, steps and pathways, hand chiseled stone retaining walls and creative boulder placement. His passion developed and he took a deeper interest in traditional stone methods. His years of stubborn hands on practice and the study of old school masonry in Europe, the United States, and Latin America eventually led him to historical preservation masonry. Thaddeus is now the president of Agave Landscapes & Masonry, Inc. and his work covers new hardscape and stone veneer masonry projects, CMU block and brick installation and a particular focus on historical restoration and preservation.

For the past 13 years, Thaddeus and his crews have worked on numerous historical projects in the state of Colorado and we have been honored to help in the preservation of the parks, museums, retaining walls, store fronts, churches, bridges, theaters and more that are so vital and important to their communities.
