Saving Places® 2018 Welcome to the 2018 Saving Places Conference! We are excited to host this annual gathering of preservation advocates, supporters, and professionals. In Dolores Hayden’s 1995 book, The Power of Place, she frames historic places and cultural landscapes as those where people find a sense of cultural belonging. These are places with personality and are where we find a connection to our past and current community. It is sometimes difficult to put that sense of place into words, but it is the power of these places that make us passionate about preservation. Our keynote speaker, Kevin Jennings of the Tenements Museum, will speak to the intersection of social activism and preservation, particularly as a venue for talking about difficult histories. Regina Lopez-Whiteskunk of the Ute Mountain Ute will speak at Thursday’s Endangered Places Luncheon about her ongoing advocacy work to preserve the Bears Ears National Monument. We are also trying out something new this year: a poster session. We hope the poster session will grow into a venue for presenters to share their work, particularly work in progress, through one-on-one discussion.
We are Colorado Preservation, Inc. Since 1984, Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) has promoted historic preservation statewide through advocacy, education
and outreach. CPI works to ensure historic places across Colorado will be protected and preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. One of the ways that we do this is through our Saving Places Conference. For over 20 years, CPI has provided essential training and networking opportunities to individuals like YOU who are working to protect our state’s heritage. Thank you to the many people, organizations, and supporters who have helped (and continue to help) make the conference what it is today!
Preservation is challenging work, but it is the power of these places that make us strive to save them. We have endeavored to make this conference a place for different communities to feel like they belong; a place where they feel heard; and a place where they can share their preservation knowledge with others. We hope you find inspiration and technical know-how in our diverse line-up of over 75 conference sessions, workshops, and tours. And we look forward to learning what you believe is the Power of Place from the Mountains to the Plains.

Our Mission in Action A special thank you to our Conference Committee, Board and Volunteers who helped make the annual Saving Places Conference possible!
Colorado’s history is important to us, as we know it is to you. Each year our conference attendees share ideas, make new connections, and learn new tools to advance the work of preservation in Colorado. Thank you for being a part of the preservation movement by attending this year! Thank you for your commitment to our shared history and places that collectively represent where we came from and shape the future.
CPI Staff
CPI works statewide with sites, community leaders, residents and organizations to ensure we build a future with Colorado’s historic resources. Through our signature initiatives like Colorado’s Most Endangered Places and our Preservation Services Program, we work with the public to identify and protect some of the state’s most important, yet threatened, sites. An example of our efforts to protect these sites is exhibited through the establishment of the Colorado Job Creation and Main Street Revitalization Act. In 2014, economic development organizations and historic preservation groups joined forces to help spur job creation and revitalization throughout the state. The result was an Act which passed through the legislature with broad bi-partisan support. Current tax credit projects in process, or completed to date, will generate more than $10 million in sales tax, with Colorado counties gaining over $500,000 and municipalities gaining $4.6 million of that total. This is in addition to local, county and state sales taxes generated by the economic activity in these newly renovated buildings.

CPI continues to lobby to ensure this Act is strengthened and reauthorized in 2019 with our coalition partners. We encourage you to learn more about the State and Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credits, and bring this information back to your communities. This year, reauthorization of Colorado’s tax credit is the focus of CPI’s lobbying efforts, which extends to our conference. Participants at Wednesday’s Day at the Capitol will be speaking to their legislators about its importance and you can find many sessions, tours, and workshops focused on the incentive throughout the conference. If you have a site that could qualify for the credits and you would like to learn more, visit CPI’s tax credit information table in the lobby at the conference for more information.

PLENARY PRESENTATION
Thursday, Feb. 1, 8:30am • Four Seasons Ballroom Join us Thursday, Feb. 1 at 8:30 a.m. for remarks by Governor John Hickenlooper, followed by our keynote presentation by Kevin Jennings, the new president of the Tenement Museum in New York City. JOHN HICKENLOOPER Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is a former geologist and entrepreneur who recently added “author” to his resume with the publication of his memoir, The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics. He champions innovation, collaboration and efficiency. When he was inaugurated Governor of Colorado in 2011, having run on his history of collaboration for community good, he became the first Denver mayor to be elected governor in 140 years. Since taking office in 2011, the Governor and his team have endeavored to make Colorado the most pro-business state, with the highest environmental and ethical standards. Governor Hickenlooper will help kick off the Conference with remarks, to be followed by questions from the audience. KEVIN JENNINGS President - Tenement Museum, New York City Prior to joining the Tenement Museum, Kevin Jennings held senior roles in the nonprofit, philanthropic, and governmental sectors. In 1990, Kevin founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, a national organization for LGBT and straight teachers, parents, students and community members. Kevin also served as the Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education in the first administration of President Barack Obama from 20092011. He holds degrees from Harvard University, Columbia University’s Teachers College, and Stern School of Business, New York University. He is the author of seven books and the Executive Producer of two historical documentaries. Kevin’s talk will address the importance of preserving things that at one point were considered unimportant and without value, drawing on his years of experience in social activism and his time at the Tenement Museum. The Tenement Museum preserves and interprets the history of immigration through the personal experiences of the generations of newcomers who settled in and built lives on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, America’s iconic immigrant neighborhood.

10:30am – 12:30pm • Location: Meet at Convention Center - walking tour The McNichols Civic Center Building exemplifies the struggle many historic buildings experience. Opening in 1910 as an Andrew Carnegie funded Denver Public Library, the building was a symbol of knowledge available to all until the Library was transformed into municipal office space. During this process the massive grand staircase, which once led to the “piano noble,” was demolished and replaced with a lower level entry court. Much of the decorative ornamentation typical to a Carnegie was deemed to be excessive and either covered with plaster or unfortunately removed.
■ WT5 | FOUNDATIONS OF DENVER: TOUR WITH HISTORICITY 4:30pm – 6:00pm • Location: Meet at Convention Center Walk in the footsteps of Denver’s founding citizens and along its oldest streets to experience the storied and complex connection between the people who formed this city and the place they came to call home.
The municipal offices were subsequently relocated in the 1990s, and the former Carnegie jewel remained dark in Denver’s most important civic space, Civic Center Park. The building was reopened in 2010 for the Biennial of the Americas art exhibit, which clearly demonstrated the potential of the building, to be a unique event venue and gallery space. The building has since undergone a series of rehabilitation projects to replace the non-original aluminum windows, construct a new forecourt at the main entry, and insert a service elevator and new restrooms for both park visitors and event attendees. This tour will discuss the building’s history, its influence on the design of Civic Center Park, the struggles involved in the rehabilitation, and the final outcome.

Across the U.S. during the 60’s and 70’s, buildings that were considered “old” were often bulldozed to make way for what was seen as the new, modern, steel-and-glass style of architecture. Today, buildings with historic character are finding new life by preserving the unique aspects of the building while adapting the building to suit a modern-day tenant. Join us for a panel discussion with Denver developers from Larimer Square, OZ Architecture, Urban Villages and Zeppelin Places. Projects to be discussed include: The Source, Larimer Square, Punch Bowl Social’s reuse of the Stapleton Airport’s air traffic control tower, Hotel Teatro, the Benjamin Moore Building, Gold Star Factory, the Sugar Building, and more.

COLORADO’S MOST ENDANGERED PLACES ANNOUNCEMENT LUNCHEON
“Gaman” means to silently endure the unbearable with patience and dignity. So it was that 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans, forcibly removed from the west coast during World War II for reasons of “national security,” endured incarceration. Allowed to take only what could be carried by hand and with just 48 hours’ notice, anyone with as little as 1/16 Japanese blood was removed first to horse stalls at temporary assembly centers then to prison camps surrounded by barbed wire. When the war ended, inmates were faced with relocation – again. Almost as quickly as they lost their original homes and businesses, they were faced with sorting belongings that accumulated during their incarceration. Much was simply taken to the local dump. These objects remained mostly untouched for decades until they were excavated during an archaeological dig. The significance of their discovery is the representation of previously unknown stories. Most of the inmates never spoke of their experience in these prisons, but each broken plate or teacup, long-lost marble, and empty bottle tells a story. Through these objects, the stories that inmates could never verbalize are finally being told.
12:00pm – 1:30pm • Location: Four Seasons Ballroom

■ THB3 | WHERE WAS THAT? PRESERVING AND UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITY HISTORY WITH GIS TOOLS 1:45pm – 3:00pm • Location: 111
The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, along with its partners at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and Tierra Plan, have developed a unique, innovative digital tool called the Story of Us. This online platform and interactive exhibit is a new, engaging way for the museum to tell stories and preserve the heritage of the Pikes Peak region. The platform highlights the museum’s rich historic collections and integrates them with modern GIS mapping technology. It helps visitors envision how the community has changed over time and encourages a street-by-street exploration of the city. It answers the most common question our visitors ask, “where was that?” Additionally, community members can become part of the Story of Us by submitting their own content into the online mapping portal; including photographs, videos, documents, and personal accounts. The project will continue to collect and preserve the history and geography of our community for decades to come – serving as a powerful connection between people and place. This session discusses how the project drew on local resources to create a vital and unique resource that can serve as a model for other communities. Speakers: Leah Davis Witherow (Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum), John Harner (University of Colorado at Colorado Springs), Kevin Knapp (Tierra Plan), Matt Mayberry (Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum)
■ THB4 | HOW TO UPDATE YOUR MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND NOT
WRECK YOUR HISTORICAL BUILDING 1:45pm – 3:00pm • Location: 103/105 AIA
The majority of existing historical buildings also have historical heating, cooling and lighting systems. Due to age and wear and tear, these systems often do not provide the best environment for users. They rarely meet current energy codes and are not optimized to reduce energy usage bills. Bringing these systems into the 21st century provides significant financial and environmental benefit to the facility. With proper planning these upgrades can reduce existing mechanical and electrical equipment eye sores, improve overall aesthetics, and preserve the historical integrity of the structure with the implementation of creative solutions. Participants will learn about the common concerns with upgrading MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) systems within a historical building, how to evaluate potential options, and how building codes uniquely affect historic projects.

■ THC5 | REFLECTED IMAGES: DOCUMENTING LANDSCAPES AND SITES THROUGH IMAGES 3:15pm – 4:30pm • Location: 107/109
The experience of place is holistic; drawing from a combination of the natural environment, material culture, as well as designed and natural features. Landscape features contribute greatly to the feeling and character of place, and often form (or shape) our entire experience of sites. These settings respond to human and natural forces that change them over time. How one evaluates this change is a challenge faced by historic preservation professionals. The landscape is critical when documenting or determining concepts of historic integrity. When we overlook the landscape, buildings and structures are stripped of their contextual meaning. This session will use case studies to explore the practice of documenting historic landscapes through photographs.

■ FE8 | GLASS AND WINDOW BASICS - PAST TO FUTURE 10:30am – 11:45am • Location: 104
FRIDAY
AIA HSW
Glass and window details are often defining characteristics to a historic building. However, the sub-components and driving forces for the progression of window design are often misunderstood. By deconstructing the basic components of windows (glass, coatings, and design), it is possible to better analyze and understand a clear path forward for repair or restoration.
■ FF3 | HOT TOPIC: ALTERNATIVE ROOFING MATERIALS 1:45pm – 2:15pm • Location: 107/109
AIA
This session will provide a high-level overview of the history of these window components. Attendees will explore the history of glass-making methods, glass-coating processes, and insulated glass (IG) construction. The session will also explore potential developments in the window and glass technology realm, such as vacuum insulated glazing (VIG), and examine the ways in which this can also be used to enable historic restoration.
Roofing can define a building’s character, profile, and architectural style, with each roofing material providing a distinctive color, texture, and pattern to a roof surface. A wide variety of substitute roofing materials simulating historical materials such as tile, slate, and shake have been introduced in recent years. How do these alternative roofing materials compare to the original materials they are replacing? Are these acceptable alternatives when original materials are hard to obtain or too costly? Do they meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation?
Attendees will leave with an understanding of the factors that should be considered when managing the aesthetic and performance components of a project – and the realization that these two things are not diametrically opposed.
Preservation commissions and architects are currently struggling with these questions. And with new materials and changing technology a constant, no design guidelines can provide a definitive list of acceptable choices. The compatibility of alternative roofing materials varies, with some much more successful than others. This session will provide tools for evaluating the compatibility of alternative roofing materials on a case by case basis. Attendees will have a chance to debate the appropriateness of materials by evaluating before and after photos of Denver case studies where alternative roofing materials have been installed. Samples of alternative roofing materials will also be available for attendees to examine.
Speakers: Kyle Sword (Pilkington North America)

Dr. Potter will speak to attendees at the Western Heritage Luncheon about the current preservation efforts in the Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Park. Longtime Colorado preservationist Ann Pritzlaff will then conclude the luncheon with the presentation of the Ann Alexander Pritzlaff Leadership Award to an esteemed member of our community.
■ FF3 | HOT TOPIC: RESTORATION OF THE SPIRES AND TOWERS OF DENVER’S BASILICA
2:30pm – 3:00pm • Location: 107/109
Denver’s Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception was completed in 1911 in the French Gothic style with extensive carved architectural details on the Indiana Limestone façade. During a Sunday mass in April of 2016, a softball-sized stone fragment fell from one of the two towers and landed near the main entry on Colfax Ave. Fortunately, no one was hurt. However, the resulting façade investigation discovered numerous fractured and deteriorated carved limestone elements – several at the tops of the 210 ft. tall spires. It became apparent that extensive repairs to the spires and towers would be required to protect public safety and restore the stone masonry façade. This presentation will provide details of the year-long masonry restoration – both the challenges encountered and the developed solutions. While 21st century technology could be employed in some aspects of the repairs, many of the stone repairs required the same techniques as those used in the original construction. Speakers: Jacob Holland (Summit Sealants and Restoration), David Woodham (Atkinson-Noland)

■ FF4 | GETTING CREATIVE WITH SECTION 106: EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE MITIGATION 1:45pm – 3:00pm • Location: 111
APA
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires that federal agencies consider the effects of their undertakings on historic properties; when consultation fails to identify suitable alternatives, mitigation is used to resolve adverse effects. Generally, mitigation focuses directly on the significance associated with the affected property, but sometimes more creative solutions better serve the public interest. Explore innovative strategies from Colorado and across the Nation in this interesting session with experts on Section 106 from Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Speakers: Jennifer Bryant (Colorado State Historic Preservation Office), Jaime Loichinger (Advisory Council on Historic Preservation), Blythe Semmer (Advisory Council on Historic Preservation), Mark Tobias (Colorado State Historic Preservation Office)

■ FF5 | LINEAR HISTORIC RESOURCES: UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND PRESERVATION
TECHNIQUES FOR HISTORIC TRAILS
1:45pm – 3:00pm • Location: 113
Linear cultural resources present unique preservation challenges, and historic trails are no exception. Often covering many miles, and crossing both public and private lands, historic trails require preservationists to not only look downward, but in all directions including the sky. The passage of Colorado HB 16-1106 – the designation of Pioneer Trails by County Commissioners offers communities an avenue for recognizing historic trails on a local basis. Learn how this legislation and old and new tools from the NPS National Trails Office, Santa Fe Trail Association and others can help preservationists protect the historic trails in their own backyards. Topics discussed will include cultural landscapes, viewshed analyses, the concepts of “night sky”, historic contexts, MPDF’s, public awareness, and the use of modern technology to educate and engage youth. Speakers: Rebecca Goodwin (Otero County), Kevin Lindahl (Bent’s Fort Chapter for the Santa Fe Trail Association), Astrid Liverman (Metcalf Archaeology), Michael Romero Taylor (National Park Service)
■ FF6 | COLORADO ASIANS: A HISTORY OF ADVERSITY AND RESILIENCE 1:45pm – 3:00pm • Location: 201
Asians in Colorado have endured a long legacy of exclusion and inequity. Despite historical, linguistic differences, and distinct Asian cultures, they’ve been generalized and treated similarly by the community at large. Yet, notwithstanding these adversities, Colorado Asians have and continue to transform and enrich the state’s landscape through their unique cultural contributions and permanent landmarks. The best way to know and appreciate our Asian neighbors today is to learn about their historic links from the past to the present. This session will provide a historical overview of some of the largest Asian populations that have arrived in Colorado including: Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese. Speakers: Nga Vuong-Sandoval (Denver Mayor’s Asian-American Pacific Islander Commission)
■ FF7 | GENTRIFICATION: COMING SOON TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU? 1:45pm – 3:00pm • Location: 203
Denver is experiencing an unprecedented amount of growth and development – and with growth often comes gentrification. How are Denver neighborhoods changing? How are long-time residents being affected? What can communities learn from Denver’s experience? What role can historic preservation play in this issue? This panel includes neighborhood activists and residents of so-called ‘gentrified’ neighborhoods. We will discuss what can be learned from what’s occurring in Denver, and explore some ways in which historic preservation can help keep neighborhoods and their cultures intact. Speakers: Julie Johnson (City of Boulder), John Hayden (Curtis Park Neighbors), Shontel Lewis Candi CdeBaca (Project V.O.Y.C.E. - Voices of Youth Changing Education)
■ FF8 | HOT TOPIC: COMBINING PRESERVATION AND INFILL DEVELOPMENT: A SIMPLE CASE STUDY 1:45pm – 2:15pm • Location: 104
APA
Historic preservation and infill development are sometimes at odds. This session will discuss a small but informative case in Boulder that brought the two together. It will also examine the controversy and the lessons for municipalities. Speakers: Kurt Nordback (747 Twelfth Street LLC)
■ FF8 | HOT TOPIC: INTEGRATING HISTORIC PRESERVATION GUIDELINES AND FORM-BASED CODE: FORT WORTH, TX STOCKYARDS 2:30pm – 3:00pm • Location: 104 APA Fort Worth, TX recently adopted a new form-based code for its historic stockyards and surrounding area. The code incorporates design guidelines along with prescriptive standards that are seamlessly integrated. In this approach, zone district boundaries are drawn to coincide with a historic district and a buffering conservation area. Design Guidelines address finer-grained topics that the zoning standards do not cover. This may be the first code in the country to take a completely integrated approach to the preservation and zoning system, which uses a bull’s eye concept for varying degrees of historical influence on new construction, and includes design review by a preservation commission. This approach can be applied to many situations, but may have special interest to communities that seek to redevelop areas that were historically related to farming and ranching, but now are sites for potential new uses.

■ FG2 | HOT TOPIC: A ROLLER COASTER HISTORY OF DENVER’S LAKESIDE AMUSEMENT PARK 3:15pm – 3:45pm • Location: 104
For more than a century the iconic Lakeside Amusement Park has been entertaining residents of and visitors to Denver. Initially promoted as a welcome addition to Denver’s City Beautiful movement, Lakeside has both reflected and survived a changing Denver, and become a beloved part of the city. One of only a handful of amusement parks in the United States to reach its centennial, Lakeside Amusement Park is a survivor that embraces its past while looking to the future. Attendees will leave with a new appreciation for the Lakeside Amusement Park. Speakers: David Forsyth (Denver’s Lakeside Amusement Park)
■ FG2 | HOT TOPIC: DENVER’S STREETCAR LEGACY AND ITS ROLE IN NEIGHBORHOOD WALKABILITY 4:00pm – 4:30pm • Location: 104 APA
Long before light rails there were streetcars in Denver. This presentation examines the year-by-year history of Denver’s streetcars from the system’s start in 1872 to its end in 1950. University of Denver graduate student, Ryan Keeney, has documented and digitized every streetcar line that ever existed in Denver. This session, led by Ryan, will discuss the system’s impact on Denver’s land use in the form of historic neighborhood commercial districts such as South Pearl Street and Tennyson and analyze how this legacy enhances the walkability of the city by virtue of their close proximity to residential areas. Ryan’s Story Map can be viewed online at: bit.ly/DenverStreetcarLegacy Speakers: Ryan Keeney (Digital Data Services)
■ FG3 | SUPPORTING ARCHAEOLOGY IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT 3:15pm – 4:30pm • Location: 102
Nearly all local governments own or manage archaeological resources and an archaeological heritage worthy of protection. The fate of archaeological resources in cities, towns, and county jurisdictions are deeply affected by the decisions of local governments and planning departments, which often operate with little formal guidance regarding archaeological site stewardship. Preservation and stewardship of archaeological resources by local governments is most successful when local governments pass ordinances that protect archaeological resources, employ archaeologists and cultural resource professionals, recognize special archaeological districts in zoning overlays and development guidelines, and maintain diverse partnerships. The panel/speakers will discuss select examples of local governments and partners in Colorado making such efforts, state and municipal codes related to archaeological resources, and emerging stewardship opportunities. Speakers:
Katy Waechter (City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks Department), Matthew Mayberry (City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department), Anna Cordova (City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department), Julie Johnson (City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks Department), Christian Driver (City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks Department)

■ FG7 | CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANT WORKSHOP 3:15pm – 4:30pm • Location: 201
APA
The creation of the Denver Mountain Parks system in the early twentieth century was an expression of remarkable vision and aspiration. The junior Olmsted’s “Mountain Park Preliminary Plan” of 1914, and the “Park and Boulevard System of Denver” that preceded it, were remarkably farsighted documents — sharing many of the ideas that fed into Roosevelt’s vision for the National Park system. Together they offered a blueprint for a shining city, guided by concerns that were at once aesthetic, idealistic, and commercial. “The Queen City of the Plains” knew the power of its place: how to capitalize on the amenity of the mountains for the benefit of the fledgling metropolis.
Colorado is required to give at least 10% of its Federal Historic Preservation funding to Certified Local Governments (CLG) as subgrants to support their local preservation activities. These grants require no matching funds and can be used to fund a variety of projects including surveys, National, State and Local Register nominations, preservation plans, design guidelines, interpretative materials, as well as educational programs and training. This workshop will provide participants with an overview of Colorado’s CLG grant program, guidance in developing a project and preparing a successful grant application, as well as information on the requirements specific to CLG grants.
A hundred years later, as Denver is again poised for growth, boosted by the recently passed “billion-dollar bond”, we revisit the legacy of Denver Mountain Parks. How will the bond dollars contribute to the achievement of the original vision? What role can partnerships, “stewardship,” and historic preservation play in a rapidly growing city seeking to be green and sustainable?

■ FG5 | DIGITAL TOOLS FOR DESIGN REVIEW 3:15pm – 4:30pm • Location: 111
The time, cost, and complexity of historic design review is growing in many communities, frequently in places with limited staff and funding, and often with limited board or staff time. This session examines digital tools that can help address these constraints, including tools that are comparatively low-cost or relatively easy to learn. Major tools reviewed include Acrobat©, Access©, ArcMap© GIS, Dropbox©, Google Earth©, OneDrive©, Photoshop©, Sketchup©, and Street View©. The presentation reviews and demonstrates what these digital tools can do, and it includes information on where to find online step-by-step instructions or training videos, as well as already created data and digital content to use with the tools. The tools are presented in the context of a design review process that begins prior to application and extends to post-construction, with information on connecting the review steps and the tools in a workflow process. Speakers: Michael Davenport (Community Design)
■ FG6 | THE SAARINEN/SOLDNER LEGACIES: 3:15pm – 4:30pm • Location: 107/109
APA
TWO STORIES OF PRESERVATION
This presentation will discuss the challenges and choices that come with inheriting the responsibility of preserving the legacy of ‘place’ as related to a famous parent. This task can come in many forms, from estates and furniture patents to reputation and what stories to tell. This session will explore the unfolding stories of two families, Saarinan and Soldner. Susan Saarinen, daughter and granddaughter of renowned architects Eero and Eliel Saarinan, will share her personal story of managing the estate, responsibility, and fame of her forefathers. Eero Saarinan is known for many leading-edge buildings and structures, including the St. Louis Gateway Arch and the TWA Flight Center at JFK International Airport. He also designed longloved furniture designs such as the Womb Chair. Susan will be joined by NPS architect, name, who is leading the restoration efforts on the Gateway Arch, designed in 1947 and constructed in 1965 along the west bank of the Mississippi River. Stephanie Soldner, daughter of Paul Soldner, American ceramic artist, will share her story preserving her father’s legacy. Paul Soldner was an artist and innovator, noted for his experimentation with traditional 16th century Japanese Raku, creating a new method of firing, which became well known as American Raku. He was also known for designing and manufacturing Soldner Pottery Equipment and as a passionate and skilled teacher. In the 1960s he founded Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, Colorado. His wife, Ginny Soldner, was a respected painter who worked on large-scale canvases. Beginning in the 1950’s, Paul designed and with Ginny, hand-built their remarkable home and studio outside Aspen, Colorado. With his recent death in 2011, Stephanie is faced with many choices on how to preserve and honor the family home and Soldner studio, as well as provide for her own stable future in the valley. This session will conclude with a question and answer period.
The session will explore the general challenges of trying to preserve historic bridges in place or find local or private adoption opportunities for bridges that no longer meet current transportation standards in Colorado. The session will share the technology used to document the Dolores Bridge and CDOT’s commitment to store the bridge truss for a future use in a new location. Session attendees will gain a better understanding of CDOT’s Section 106 compliance process for historic bridge replacement projects through this unique effort to save the Dolores River Bridge. Speakers: Lisa Schoch (Colorado Department of Transportation)
■ FG8 | HOT TOPIC:
PRESERVING THE ORDINARY: SECTION 106 IN PRACTICE 4:00pm – 4:30pm • Location: 113 AIA Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act plays a vital role in documenting historic resources that have shaped Colorado, often those that would not otherwise be recorded, such as culverts, roads, irrigation features, and transmission lines. This interactive presentation will give life to Section 106 — a regulation that charges federal agencies to consider the effects of projects on historic resources. The session will outline fundamentals, discuss the consultation process, explore how to be an effective consulting party, and show how regulations have shaped projects to preserve historic resources. Learn how Section 106 compliance aids in the documentation of all types of resources, from mid-century commercial buildings to ranch complexes, and much more. Whether you want to learn about preservation regulations, are a member of a board or commission who participates in Section 106 consultations, or are interested in learning more about documentation of ordinary historic resources, this session is for you!

Steel through truss bridges are increasingly rare on Colorado’s state highway system and on local roadways. Many of these bridge types were built in the early part of the twentieth century and have slowly been replaced over the years with utilitarian bridges that meet current standards for safety and transportation. This hot topic session will focus on efforts by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to evaluate options to preserve in place, and ultimately remove and store for future use, the National Register of Historic Places-Listed Dolores River Bridge. This steel rigid-connected Pennsylvania through truss bridge carried a lonely stretch of State Highway 90 over the Dolores River near the community of Bedrock in Montrose County.
Join the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Association for Preservation Technology for their happy hour on Friday evening! Current members and anyone interested in joining are invited to attend. Eat, drink and socialize after a day of learning at the conference!
