Envisioning the Rehabilitation of the NoLo Mill and Office

On February 1, 2019, we received a major grant of $154k from History Colorado State Historical Fund and $48k in matching funds from the Gates Family Foundation for work this summer to complete exterior rehabilitation of the North London Office and prepare construction documents for the North London Mill. The preservation architects of form + works design group have developed the preliminary drawings below.

The North London Mill will be adapted for re-use as a partially enclosed shelter with interpretive displays and signage on the lower level. The upper level will also feature interpretive signage and house a meeting room for educational programming, office space, and living quarters for a caretaker of the site.

The North London Office is currently being rehabilitated as a backcountry hut available for public use, similar to those of the 10th Mountain Division and Summit Huts Associations. It will sleep 10 adults and will have running water, shower, toilet, fully-equipped kitchen, and a common dining area.
