CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT NUMBER: 3
PROJECT TYPE: ❑ National Register Nomination ❑ Education X Survey and Planning

NAME OF PROJECT: East Side Neighborhood Architectural and Historical Selective Inventory
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The grant request is to fund a selective architectural inventory and
detailed history of 43 properties in Pueblo's East Side Neighborhood for $21,500. The project will
research and document properties that are in danger of destruction via neglect or potential urban renewal
projects. The project also will inventory properties that appear to have good integrity and architectural
significance, which may be potentially eligible for the local, state, or National Register. Currently, the East
Side neighborhood has no designated properties. The CLG funded neighborhood context study has
generated great interest in the history of the East Side and the Historic Preservation Commission would
like to build on the context study and expand their preservation efforts in a historically underrepresented
neighborhood. Finally, the HPC would like to implement a preservation planning aspect to assist in
potential urban renewal efforts to revitalize portions of the economically depressed neighborhood and
inventory and identify significant properties before they are threatened by redevelopment or neglect while
providing opportunities for restoration through landmarking and access to tax credits for private owners
and State Historical Fund money for nonprofit/City partnerships.
AMOUNT OF REQUEST: $21,500
