DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT AGENDA ITEM # DATE: February 23, 1998 ISSUE: Should the City Council approve the nomination of the D &RGW Freight Station to the State Register of Historic Properties. BACKGROUND: The City will be submitting an application to the Colorado State Historical Society nominating the D &RGW Freight Station to the State Register of Historic Properties. The final determination for inclusion on the Register rests with the State Review Board. The Freight Station is currently undergoing renovation for use by the Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center. The City initiated an application for a grant from the State Historic Fund in 1994 to support the purchase of the Freight Station from Southern Pacific Railroad. The grant was to be contingent, in part, upon the inclusion of the Freight Station in an expanded Union Avenue Historic District. The City withdrew the grant application due to outstanding issues, most notably the ownership of the property. Subsequent discussions with Historical Society Staff led to the decision that the structure would be inappropriate for inclusion in the Union Avenue National Historic District, because the building does not meet the period of significance for the District (i.e., the date and type of construction are more recent than that found in the District). Consequently, the City and Historical Society Staff concluded the Freight Station should be nominated to the State Register. The inclusion of the Freight Station on the State Register will grant it an official historic status that will enhance the City's ability to obtain moneys from the State Historic Fund and other sources for renovation and reuse of the building.
