Preservation Projects

Historic Boulder is currently involved in a wide array of preservation advocacy projects. Here are some of note:

There is a plan by an out- of-state developer to demolish this historic and architecturally notable building and replace it with apartments targeted for CU students

Boulder-Theater

Boulder Theater

Historic Boulder has a long history in the preservation of this remarkable Art Deco entertainment property in the heart of downtown Boulder

Valmont School

Valmont School

Opened in 1911, this is the second schoolhouse that was constructed to serve the village of Valmont. Historic Boulder has been providing logistical assistance to the current private owners to stabilize the building so it does not continue to deteriorate

pillars

9-Mile Monuments

Two sandstone pillars were built in 1928 as a memorial to those that served in World War I. Expansion of the roads is putting them in danger. Historic Boulder is assisting the Rotary Club, that is taking the lead to come up with a plan to save these monuments

Jones-stage stop
