Are historic resources being destroyed? The attached documents suggest so.

As part of the Valley Highway Project, Colorado Department of Transportation completed a review of the historical resources in 2004. As per the attached letter, they discovered that 3 of the 60 sites (namely, 677, 684, and 690 South Lincoln Street) should be considered contributing structures in a National Register historic district.

In addition, 36 previously-researched structures from 696-833 South Lincoln Street and 25-39 Exposition Avenue had already been been identified as part of the Gates historic district. 32 of these buildings were so architecturally and historically important that they were listed as contributing structures; 4 commercial buildings were considered non-contributing.

Other historic district buildings on Logan Street have since been destroyed. See the attached map from the Colorado Historical Society for an overview.
