GRANTS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
A. Applicant Capacity Write a brief history of the applicant organization (Limit to 600 words or less)
This category speaks to grant and project management capacity (0 -10 points)
The City of Pueblo is a home -rule general services local government with a team of professional staff who
manage a municipal area of approximately 40 square miles. The City's planning department has managed
complex extensive, multi year, multi million dollar projects involving federal, state, and local funding sources.
Bill Zwick Landscape Architect is the project manager for the Memorial Hall project and he has recently
completed the Phase I Exterior Restoration of the City and Memorial Hall buildings roof replacement and upper
masonry restoration involving 2008 - 020 -023A SHF project. Mr Zwick has been a project manager for
numerous, large scale capital project such as the Pueblo convention Center, El Pueblo Archeological Pavilion,
El Pueblo Evocation, Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo, various streetscape projects and historic building
renovation projects including the D and R G Freight station which rehabilitated a large 1920s freight station for
an historic museum. The City is a Certified Local Government conducting design review and enforcing the
standard of appropriateness on over 154 properties across three historic districts. With a 75% staff position, the
Historic Preservation Commission has managed four certified local government grants and is currently
managing a State Historic Fund context survey grant, Pueblo Modern which is on budget and on schedule. The
city has completed the Phase I of the City and Memorial Hall exterior rehabilitation, which included replacing
the roll roofing with Spanish tile, restoring terra cotta exterior cladding, and repairing the failed integral gutter
system. Phase I was on time and within budget and finished according to schedule City Planning Department
staff has worked with Hoehn Architects, LLC as project architects to complete Phase I and proposes to continue
the same successful partnership for Phase II. Hoehn Architects have extensive experience with large State
Historic Fund rehabilitation and restoration projects and are familiar with the Secretary if Interiors Standards.
Spectrum, the general contractor conducted the work for Phase I and has also worked on numerous multi
million dollar exterior rehabilitations of historic buildings.
B. Property or Project History Write a brief history of the property or project and its relationship to historic preservation. (Limit to 600 words
or Tess) This category tells us why this preservation or archaeological project is important (0 -10 points)
Due to egress code issues and recent flooding City Hall basement is currently vacant. Also, as a result of poor
HVAC (especially cooling) systems Memorial Hall is only used five times a year despite having a capacity of
over 1500 seats. The City's goal is to rehabilitate these municipal and cultural gems to full working order The
goal of the City Hall project is to rehabilitate City Council chambers and much of city administration (which is
now in the various buildings in the immediate downtown area on a temporary basis) to City Hall, and upgrade
systems at Memorial Hall so it can be used a public meeting space and theatre and other venues year round.
This specific exterior masonry, window and door project will compliment the interior rehabilitation.
City Hall, built on the neutral crossroads of three separate towns merging as one, and Memorial Hall, the
attached oratory auditorium where President Woodrow Wilson gave his last address, are in need of major
4
interior and exterior rehabilitation. Although they were originally designed as one, the stately City Hall was
built in 1917, and the Memorial Hall (seating capacity 1548) was completed in 1919 The architectural style,
massing and details of the structures are very similar City Hall was built entirely of stone, graced with fluted,
ionic columns. While Memorial Hall has similar proportions, the detailing is simplified and built primarily of
brick and terra cotta. The facilities share a richly detailed common lobby with coffered ceihngs and grand
staircase Character defining features on Memorial Hall such as windows, transoms, and doors have been
insensitively replaced, otherwise the exterior retains a high degree of integrity This project seeks to remedy the
prior insensitive replacements with a full exterior rehabilitation. Fortunately, the City owns digital scans of all
the original 1917 architectural plans and construction documents for reference in the rehabilitation of the
building.
The buildings are contributing buildings within the Union Avenue Historic District, a National Register Historic
District. The City Hall - Memorial Hall complex is a significant example of classical revival, civic architecture,
representative of the "City Beautiful movement of early 20 century America. Memorial Hall is a rare and
beautiful example of late 19 Century and early 20 Century auditorium design. The auditorium was designed
to provide excellent acoustics for orchestral, choral and oratory performances. The unique horseshoe shaped
balcony, which brings the audience close to the stage and visually connects the house to the stage, is similar to
Chicago's Central Music Hall (Alder & Sullivan, 1880) In fact, the Pueblo Grand Opera House, also designed
by Alder & Sullivan, still existed at the time of the design and construction of the Memorial Hall.
The City is recently completed SHF Project #2008 - 020 -023A, Exterior Restoration of City Hall /Memorial Hall,
which addressed key items identified in the 2001 Historic Structure Assessment and Master Plan (SHF 99 -02-
026). The historic assessment identified the following "Prioritized Work" items. 1) Repair leaks at gutters on
both City Hall and Memorial Hall, 2) Tuck Point all cornices to prevent water penetration into stonework; 3)
Provide lateral reinforcement of the cupola structure, and 4) Maintain or remove non - historic roll roofing and
replace with barrel tile roofing. Now that the roof and gutters are repaired and cupola restored, the City is
investing the resources to complete the exterior rehabilitation to fully restore and repair both City Hall and
Memorial Hall. City Hall /Memorial Hall have a special place in Pueblo's history representing the evolution of
municipal, political, cultural and civic sectors of our society There is no other architectural complex that
represents such diverse courses of human history still being utilized in Pueblo that is able to so easily convey its
original design and significance through it's stunning architecture and continued original uses.
C. Project Description Provide a detailed description of the project. (Limit to 1200 words or less)
This section indicates your knowledge of historic preservation approaches and techniques as applied to your project (0 -20 points)
Proposed Approaches for Projects (check all that apply)
❑ Survey
❑ Planning
❑ Education
❑ Archaeology
❑ Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of historic materials and retention of a property's form as it has evolved over time.
(Includes protection and stabilization)
X Rehabilitation acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic property to meet continuing or compatible, new uses while retaining the
property's historic character
❑ Restoration depicts a property at a particular period of time in its history while removing evidence of other periods.
❑ Reconstruction re- creates vanished or non - surviving portions of the property for interpretive purposes based on documentary and /or physical
evidence.
The first phase of the exterior rehabilitation of City Hall and Memorial Hall has been successfully completed. It
included the installation (and reintroduction) of a clay tile roof; the repair and replacement of the integral
gutters, and the restoration of City Hall's tower and the upper cornices of both buildings. The purpose of this
project is to carry out the second (and final) phase of the rehabilitation of the exterior envelopes of City Hall
and Memorial Hall, which includes brick, stone and terra cotta tuck pointing, replacement or repair of
deteriorated masonry units, and cleaning; rehabilitation of the original windows, and replacement of non-
5
original doors and transoms with new doors and transoms that are in keeping with the original design intent.
The Phase II exterior rehabilitation project will complement the interior rehabilitation of City Hall and the
Memorial Hall Theatre. The City Hall interior rehabilitation project is funded by Federal, State and Local funds
while the Memorial Hall interior rehabilitation project is funded by a voter approved $10 Million Bond.
By carrying out the interior rehabilitation of City Hall and Memorial Hall, the City will be addressing all of the
critical and serious deficiencies highlighted in the 2001 Historic Structure Assessment, which includes
Memorial Hall's ventilation and air conditioning systems. The City Hall interior rehabilitation project will
address the need to maximize the occupancy of the building with city services, while enhancing its character -
defining historic interior features. The second phase of the exterior rehabilitation project, which is the subject
of this grant request, will conclude the multi -year, multi - million dollar interior and exterior rehabilitation
projects and refresh the face of the City's most important publicly -owned building.
The goal of the Phase II project at City Hall and Memorial Hall is to complete the rehabilitation of the exterior
envelope, following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. This
project includes three objectives
Rehabilitate and restore the masonry on City Hall and Memorial Hall, which includes Turkey Creek
sandstone, Indiana limestone, terra cotta, and brick. The previous phase of rehabilitation work on the
exterior envelope of both buildings addressed the replacement of the integral gutters, which had leaked and
were allowing moisture to enter the masonry walls below Although the masonry at the upper cornices was
rehabilitated during the first phase, the masonry below these cornices needs to be addressed. Now that the
deteriorated tin in the integral gutters has been replaced with new copper linings, the moisture infiltration into
the masonry has been stopped. The previous moisture infiltration has caused damage to the masonry, including
offset stone at the southwest corner of City Hall and open mortar joints at both City Hall and Memorial Hall,
especially at the upper areas of the walls. Fortunately, a former coating called "Restocrete" was removed from
City Hall, but the coating appears to have caused some damage to the original Turkey Creek sandstone. Almost
100 years has passed since the spectacular public building was constructed, so time has also taken its toll on the
exterior envelope. Stone is spalhng at the base of City Hall and inappropriate repairs (patches) have been made
to the stone in the past. This project will include an on -site assessment to determine the extent of masonry
damage; construction documents that identify the type and location of the damage as well as the recommended
treatment for each type of masonry will be prepared for review by both the City of Pueblo and the State
Historical Fund. Deteriorated brick, stone, and terra cotta will be rehabilitated by replacing it with similar
masonry units, removing inappropriate mortar, raking out deteriorated mortar, and repomting the walls utilizing
a mortar mix that is determined through testing of the original mortar Fortunately, during the first phase, the
mortar at the stone, brick, and terra cotta was tested to determine the proper historic mortar mix for the
rehabilitation work; cleaning samples were also tested on the stone to determine the appropriate specification
for a cleaning material. The test results from the first phase will be used to carry out the work in this second
phase
Rehabilitate the windows at Memorial Hall. The original multi -lite in- swinging and pivoted wood windows
are in fair to poor condition, depending upon their location on the building. Fortunately, most of the original
windows remain, with the exception of the third floor windows at the east end of Memorial Hall, which were
replaced with louvers. An on -site evaluation of the windows will be conducted to determine their current
condition and make recommendations for their rehabilitation with the goal to retain as much of the original
historic fabric as possible, including the original glass and hardware Necessary work anticipated for this
portion of the project includes the repair of the existing window frames, especially at the bottoms of the frames
where the wood is typically deteriorated, the removal and repair of the individual window sashes, including
repairs to stiles, rails, and muntins, the replacement of glass where cracked, damaged, or missing; the
6
replacement of deteriorated glazing putty; the rehabilitation of the exterior wood sills, which will include either
epoxy repair or replacement, depending upon the severity of the deterioration, the installation of weather
stripping at jambs and sills to reduce air infiltration, the installation of matching or compatible window
hardware, where missing, the painting of the windows and their associated trim, preferably in a historic color
scheme; and adjustments to the window sash so that they fit square in their openings. The original
specifications for the historic windows are still available to provide guidance for the window rehabilitation
portion of this project. It will be important to consult with the Architect responsible for the theater rehabilitation
project since shades or other room - darkening devices will be required at the interior sides of some of the
windows. It may be possible to replace the louvers at the east end of the building with reconstructed windows,
depending upon the design of the new mechanical system for the theater
Provide new entry doors and transoms at Memorial Hall that are compatible with the original design.
There are five existing door openings on the north and south sides of Memorial Hall. The original construction
drawings and historic photographs reveal that the terra cotta framed door openings originally accommodated
pairs of paneled wood doors with transoms above, consisting of glass and decorative cast iron screens. At some
time in the past, the original doors and frames were replaced with clear anodized aluminum units, solid panels
or louvers were inserted at the locations of the former transoms. It is the City's desire to replace the current
inappropriate doors and transoms with new ones that are in keeping with the original design intent for these
important public theater openings while also providing resistance to moisture and sunlight. The existing door
openings will be investigated to determine whether any of the original historic fabric still remains. (For
example, an original transom may still exist behind one of the infill panels.) Similar to the windows, the
original specifications for the exterior doors and hardware are available to provide guidance for the replacement
doors and transoms. The historical architect will work closely with the City of Pueblo and the State Historical
Fund in developing the design for the replacement doors and transoms. The Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties will be followed for these missing historic features The
replacement doors may be an accurate restoration using historical, pictorial, and physical documentation or be a
new design that is compatible with the door openings and the historic character of the building. The
replacement doors and transoms will return an important character - defining feature to the historic building and
will enhance the rehabilitation of the theater inside.
D. Urgency Explain why it is urgent to complete the work in your application NOW (Limit to 300 words or less) This category explores why
this project is urgent and how you will protect the resource in the future (0 -15 points)
The urgency for this project is two fold. First, the exterior of City Hall and Memorial Hall has never been
fully repaired and restored since its construction 94 years ago Periodic repairs and inappropriate tuck pointing
have left a patchwork of situations around the exterior, many of which detract from the character of the facade
Second, timing is a serious concern. Being part of a larger multi -phase the City is now investing in the total
rehabilitation of the interior and exterior of both buildings and wants to repair all previous damage while
qualified masonry specialists are already working on other sections of the project and the building is under
construction. The exterior work if preformed at a later time would cause complications with the general public
pedestrian circulation in and out of the buildings during construction. The same conflict would occur with the
increased use of Memorial Hall.
E. Timeline Create a list with key project milestones and dates showing how your project will be carried out. All work (exterior and interior)

F Public Benefit Tell us how /why the community supports and benefits from this project. (Limit to 600 words or less) This category shows
the overall benefit of the project to the community (0 -15 points)
City Hall is the seat of local government for 106, 000 people, most of which visit or pass by the complex on a
daily basis. The City Hall /Memorial Hall complex is rich in local color, from the characters who helped build
the City to the nine decades of southeastern Colorado entertainment and civic events held in the auditorium.
Memorial Hall is part of nearly every local citizen's experience and is cherished by all The recent 2010 voter
approved Ballot Issue for bonding $10 million renovation of Memorial Hall is overwhelming evidence of the
public's support for the project. Memorial Hall will be the preferred venue for community -wide events.
National production companies, including the Broadway Theater League and American Theater Art for Youth,
will increase use of the hall after restoration, along with local dance studios, World Gym, Grace Productions,
the Pueblo Performing Arts Guild and many more. The City Council Chambers will always be located in City
Hall as the seat of local government. Pueblo's City Hall and Memorial Hall stand as the central landmark
within the redevelopment of the Union Avenue Historic District, Downtown, Riverwalk and Civic Center
The physical benefit of Phase II is to complete the repair and restoration of the building's masonry so that it
does not continue to deteriorate Phase II will add visible evidence of the significant rehabilitation work that
will occur inside Memorial Hall and document that the city can complete a renovation of City and Memorial
Hall, and not leave key masonry repair unfinished on a newly restored theatre and City Hall. A restored, active,
and vibrant City Hall /Memorial Hall Complex demonstrates a can do attitude to Pueblo citizens and presents a
strong, character rich, historic face to the enumerable visitors and tourists who will visit a restored Memorial
Hall as well as the adjacent Riverwalk development.
