Historic Pueblo, Inc. (HPI) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2002 after the city adopted the Pueblo Historic Preservation Ordinance. The ordinance was established to preserve and protect historic structures and sites. No city funding was available with the preservation ordinance, nor was there an established organization to promote the actions that could be taken as a result of the ordinance. Thus HPI was created by citizens interested in promoting and fostering the vision of historic preservation.

HPI ACTIVITIES

The activities of Historic Pueblo, Inc. include:

• May promotions of all Pueblo historic organizational activities for National May Preservation Month
• Present information for the ordering and purchasing of Resource Plaques for properties over 50 years old
• Purchase plaques and sponsor a reception for all newly landmarked Pueblo structures

• Membership drive in December for Members Only to attend the Holiday Historic Home Tour of local historical homes that are decorated for the Season and include holiday refreshments.

Homeowners with property over 50 years old are eligible to purchase a beautiful bronze plaque customized with the date the home was built. The plaque can be displayed on the exterior of the home to help enhance the appreciation of older homes and the historical aspects of Pueblo. The cost is $99 and includes a complimentary one year membership in Historic Pueblo, Inc. (HPI). There is a simple one page application to be filled out documenting the age of the home and historic significance, if any. Being a part of the program does not limit the homeowner's ability to alter the property. For ordering information download and mail us the Resource Plaque Application.

There are currently over 25 homes in Pueblo that are proudly displaying the Resource Plaque. Find out which homes are Resourced. A map is included to make a driving tour easy! You can also check out the homes and businesses that have City, State, or National Landmark status.

At the July Membership Meeting held on July 15, 2011, City Planner Wade Broadhead presented to HPI Membership a letter from Pueblo City Council, thanking us for our work in the community and supporting preservation projects. Click the image of the letter to left to read the entire letter.
