Emerson School National Register Nomination
The Sublette County Historic Preservation Board engaged Front Range to prepare an individual National Register nomination for Emerson School. The one-room log school is located about 14 miles southeast of Boulder, Wyoming. The school served the surrounding ranching area from about 1914 to 1959.
Klondike Mines Railway No. 4 Locomotive National Register Nomination
The South Park Rail Society has engaged Front Range to produce a National Register individual nomination for the Klondike Mines Railway No. 4 locomotive. Currently located at the Como Roundhouse in Como, Colorado, the 2-6-2 narrow gauge locomotive was manufactured in 1912 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for use by the Klondike Mines Railway in the Yukon Territory of Canada. During World War II, the locomotive operated in the Skagway area of Alaska Territory on the White Pass & Yukon Railway. Over the ensuing 105 years, No. 4 experienced several changes in ownership and followed a long and colorful journey before arriving in Como in 2017. The project is funded by the State Historical Fund.
Denver Chinatown Survey Plan
Front Range is preparing a survey plan for Denver's historic Chinatown for Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU). The plan will include a historical overview of the Chinese in Denver, describe previous documentation work, and recommend priorities for future survey work. The project focus on the area of the city's historic Chinatown, identified by CAPU in the map below. Some of the resources associated with the Chinese are no longer extant. The curretn status of others is unclear, including the Sing Chung & Company store (shown above) at 2019 Market Street (photograph, Denver Public Library). The project is funded by a State Historical Fund grant to CAPU.
Statewide African American Survey and Nomination Project
History Colorado Front Range contracted with Front Range to conduct a multi-year, multi-component, statewide project documenting resources associated with African American travel and recreation during the era of segregation. The effort follows up on a 2020-21 statewide survey plan completed by Front Range to identify such properties using The Green Book and other travel guides published for African Americans.
This project includes: public meetings; intensive survey of forty properties around the state; completion of a Multiple Property Documentation Form; and preparation of three individual National Register nominations. The survey includes commercial buildings, such as the one shown above in Denver's Five Points neighborhood, as well as motels, tourist homes, garages, and other resource types. Most properties are located in Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs, but resources are also included throughout Colorado, from Brush to Montrose and Granby to Lamar. The project is funded by an Underrepresented Communities Grant from the National Park Service.
