The Guidelines have been derived from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treat- ment of Historic Properties and are specifi cally crafted to meet the needs of the City of Manitou Springs, Colorado. The Guidelines require reasonable application. Their purpose in the design approval process is to maintain and protect: • The historic integrity of individual structures and historic features in the District • The unique architectural character of the different sub-districts • The distinctiveness of the city as a whole The Guidelines provide a tool for property owners and the Commission to use in determining whether a proposal is appropriate to the long-term interests of the District. The parameters set forth in the Guidelines also support opportunities for design creativity and individual choice. Our application of the Guidelines encourages a balance between function and preservation, accommodating the needs of property

  • T. They Left Behind Clothes, Tools, and Some Food
    The Anasazi left their cliff dwellings around 1260 and moved South. Today, people believe a drought forced the Anasazi to move away. Their crops did not grow because there wasn't enough rain. The Indians could not live without food so they had to leave and find food somewhere else. The drought ended 23 years later, but all of the Anasazi Indians had already left. They left behind clothes, tools, and some food. Perhaps they had planned to return, but never did. Only a few bones were found at Mesa Verde. This makes people believe that all the Anasazi Indians left the area. A white man from Finland saw the cliff dwellings in 1891. He studied all of the things he found and wrote a book about them. He collected many of the Anasazi things from the dwellings and took them back to Finland. Many people were upset that the Anasazi things were taken from America. At that time there were no laws to keep people from taking these historical things out of the country. Many people felt the U. S. Government should have a law to protect the dwellings and the things in them. In 1909, President Roosevelt made Mesa Verde a National Park. Because of what President Roosevelt did, we canbeA see the dwellings and some of the things the Anasazi left \ \ M ,. ..."

  • Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 by Eric Swab
    Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 By Eric Swab I have always considered Fred Barr the benevolent benefactor of Pikes Peak hikers. He is credited with single handedly building the famous trail from Manitou Springs to the summit of Pikes Peak that bares his name. It is clear that he loved the mountains; however, his motivation for building trails was a combination of that admiration and his entrepreneurial spirit. Fred was born in Arkansas in June of 1882 to William M. and Mary Wade Barr, the eldest of 6 children. All of his siblings were girls.1 He came to Colorado with his family in 18932 when he was 11 years old. By 1900 we find Fred living with his family in Colorado City (now the Westside of Colorado Springs).3 Fred’s maternal grandfather Joel H. Wade had settled at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain on the Cripple Creek stage road in 1885. The Cripple Creek stage stopped at Wade’s place during the mining camp’s boom days.4 It is said that young Fred liked to hitch rides on those stage coaches headed into the mountains.5 These experiences must have been quite a thrill for a Kansas boy, and undoubtedly contributed to Fred’s appreciation of Pikes Peak. The Burro Livery Business By 1900 the City Directory for Colorado City lists William Barr & Son, proprietors of burros & tourist carriages on the north side of Manitou Rd, West End. That same year, Fred Barr, at age 18, is listed as a driver at the Garden of Gods station, residing on the north side of Colorado Ave.
