Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes February 10, 2014 Page 6 of 11 Robinson stated the period of significance is 1955 and the asbestos siding was put on 1946. Watson why 1955 was chosen. Robinson stated 1955 was the last time a member of the Austin Niehoff family lived there. Fahey asked when did the family first move there. Robinson stated they had the house built in 1878. Watson stated we could always forego assistance from the state if we didn’t want to preserve the structure with asbestos siding on it. Fasick asked who we spoke with at the state. Stewart stated Anne McCleave was the primary reviewer. Back to the goals discussion. Watson said we should include best practices in the goals for public outreach, place a tent at the Street Faire, Park County who puts out a newsletter, Greeley sells coffee cups, an app that takes you on a guided tour, etc. Maybe just pick one for general outreach. Robinson said all of the plaques have a number that could correspond to this walking tour. Stewart said maybe we can have a follow up on this walking tour idea. He said we could do a joint tour with the Historic Commission. Watson said maybe we can collaborate with the Historic Commission on public outreach so share burdens. Fahey stated she is a volunteer at the museum and asked to be considered the liaison to the museum. Everyone agreed. Watson said the flyer could include success stories of the grant program. Fahey asked if there could be a walking tour placed on the website. Robinson said we can look into it. Watson recommended the commission review the list and bring back a priority list at the next meeting. Fahey asked if we have reached all the goals set in the original preservation plan and maybe consider making those the first priority.
