Antonito Depot
"The depot was constructed c.1890, out of quarried ashlar volcanic stone, and served the town of Antonito and surrounding communities until 1951. The depot was the center of Antonito, with all of the town's original buildings constructed facing the depot. Unfortunately, the depot has stood vacant for over 50 years. Neglect and deferred maintenance are taking a toll on the structure.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to get involved in the emergency stabilization of the depot's roof. No experience is necessary. We will be working to install rolled roofing in order to seal up the depot for the upcoming winter months.
When? Beginning October 27th at 9:00 AM. Lunch will be provided on the 27th, and the workshop will continue into the late morning of the 28th.
Where? Antonito Depot, Main St. & 3rd Ave, Antonito, CO 8112"
Was meaning to post that Historicorps did such a great job with the conservation with the Como Roundhouse Cabins for Como Roundhouse Preservation Inc. What a great crew to work with!
I wish I could make it to Antonito...
