Over the summers of 2020 and 2021, skilled construction crews rehabilitated the most badly damaged exterior walls, the south and west elevations. The team repaired brickwork, restored windows and doors, and stabilized the south storefront columns. While elements such as the cornices and storefronts will be finished later, the Foundation is thrilled to announce that the critical work of rehabilitating two exterior walls is complete.

Funders

The first phase of the rehabilitation cost $1.5 million and was supported by the generosity of these funders:

  • Colorado Department of Local Affairs – $830,000
  • National Park Service Save America’s Treasures – $500,000
  • Your online votes in the National Main Street’s Partners in Preservation campaign – $150,000
  • City of Leadville – $20,000
