Sections 1-6 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Old North End Historic District El Paso County, CO Name of Property County and State ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The Old North End Historic District is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, approximately one mile north of the downtown core. It is a primarily residential district characterized by distinctive homes constructed from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century, but also includes a small number of commercial and institutional properties dating from the same period. The district retains a high degree of integrity in both its architecture and setting, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the North End Historic District on December 17, 1982 (5EP.333, 82001017). This nomination changes the name of the district to its commonly used name, provides additional documentation of the Old North End’s history and significance, modifies the areas of significance, expands the period of significance, increases the district boundary to include additional contributing properties, and excludes a small number of properties that have lost historic integrity. The amended district is bounded on the north by the Denver and Rio Grande railroad tracks, on the south by Uintah Street, on the east by the alley between Nevada Avenue and Weber Street, and on the west by Monument Valley Park. The amended district shares the historically defined boundary of the Old North End neighborhood on the north, south, and west. The eastern boundary excludes the easternmost blocks of the neighborhood. Approximately six blocks of this area, in the southeast corner of the neighborhood, have been previously listed in the North Weber Street-Wahsatch Avenue Historic Residential District (5EP.348, 85000205, National Register listed February 8, 1985). The remainder of the eastern boundary of the Old North End Historic District borders a portion of the neighborhood that contains a high number of properties that are non-contributing due to loss of integrity or construction dates outside of the period of significance. With this amendment, the district will be approximately 392 acres in size and will consist of 1001 buildings, exclusive of outbuildings, including 903 contributing buildings and 98 non-contributing buildings. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Setting To the north of the Old North End Historic District boundary is the neighborhood of Roswell. Formerly known as the town of Roswell, the community was a nineteenth century railroad junction settlement that was incorporated as a part of Colorado Springs through a series of annexations ending in 1967. The southern boundary of the historic district borders the campus of Colorado College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1874. The eastern boundary borders
