Current Projects
Amache – Granada Relocation Center
Working in partnership with the Friends of Amache and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Colorado Preservation, Inc. was awarded two grants from the National Park Service’s Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program in June 2010. The first project is to develop a rehabilitation and reconstruction plan for the Water Tower, of which the original tank portion was found largely intact under ownership of the Fletcher family who owns a ranch 20 miles south of Granada.

American Legion Hall
The American Legion Post 125, owners and operators of the building, are pursuing a preservation plan for the building so that once again it can serve the community as a main gathering space. Currently, the building is deteriorated and used much less frequently, which has reduced the annual rental income of the Hall. It is this deterioration and lack of use that prompted the need for a preservation solution. Read More.
Mathews-Gotthelf Mansion Rehabilitation
The Silver Crash of 1893 led to the Curtis Park neighborhood’s floundering. By the 1920s, the area experienced a dramatic change in residents and many of its historic homes were neglected or altered. Read More

Arkansas Valley Fairgrounds
The Adobe Stables were in continuous use until approximately 2000 when their fragile and deteriorated state required them to be vacated. Several years later, in opposition to calls for demolition, local advocates coordinated an effort to complete a Historic Structure Assessment. The high projected cost of rehabilitation stymied the effort and led to the listing of the Adobe Stables as one of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places in 2007. Read More.
Cherokee Ranch and Castle
As a conscious steward of the property, the Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation (CRCF) wishes to expand its current public education programming to include historic preservation and reuse of the historic buildings. Read More.
Como Depot
Phase II exterior restoration of the Depot is on-going and includes structural stabilization of the north addition, brick masonry repairs and reconstruction of the chimneys, and re-roofing.

Engine House No. 5
The use of Engine House No. 5 by the Denver Fire Department demonstrates its historical importance and contribution to the neighborhood. Having served the community for years, it is essential to retain not only the building, but also its historic appearance as part of the fabric of the community. Most recently used as the fire line shop for the City, SLATERPAULL Architects purchased the building with the intent of adaptively reusing it as architectural offices and as part of a larger project to achieve a Platinum LEED rating for the building.
