On May 16th the Lakewood Historic Preservation Commission unanimously recommended that the O'Kane Farm met the requirements for listing as a local landmark. The application will now move on to consideration by the City Council. The farm was long associated with Irish immigrants Bernard "Barney" and Elizabeth O'Kane, who operated the Harp Dairy at the farm. Front Range undertook the project for the City with funding from a Certified Local Government grant from History Colorado.
