The Incline Fire highlighted the importance of Mutual Aid Agreements, Memorandums of Understanding, and Jurisdictional Boundaries, and was a tremendous example of cooperatorship. The fire was reported on Thursday, October 8, by numerous callers around 5:15pm, and dispatched to Manitou Springs Fire Department, Crystal Park Fire Department and El Paso County Wildland Fire Crew. Upon arriving at the incident, firefighters found that the fire was burning in the understory of 15 foot tall mature Oak Brush with 1 to 3 foot flame lengths. The overstory was not burning leaving unburned fuels throughout the entire burn area creating a very hazardous environment that had the properties to reburn. Within the burn area was an illegal camp of approximately 15’ x 30’. The success of containing and extinguishing the fire was so quickly is contributed to a joint effort of the Manitou Springs Fire Department and many local entities.

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

A communi- ty history can be documented in a collection of names and dates carefully recorded in history books seldom read, or it can be seen everyday in the architecture of the past. Protecting and preserving that architectural heritage is one way we can celebrate the people and events that shaped our community and enhance the foundation for our future growth and development. Background Large Queen Anne Victorian hotels such as the Bark- er House and the Cliff House are visible reminders of Manitou’s heyday as a health resort. These grand buildings, although altered signifi cantly through ear- ly renovations, date back to the 1870s when Manitou Springs was founded by Dr. William Bell, an Eng- lish physician and business partner of General Wil- liam Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. Dr. Bell envi- sioned a European-style health resort built around the natural mineral springs with public parks, gardens, villas and elegant hotels. With this plan in mind, Manitou Springs’ fi rst hotel, the Manitou House, was constructed in 1872. Development during the 1870s -1880s was rapid and consisted primarily of frame construction. Although Manitou’s growth did not faithfully adhere to Dr.

    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.
