The City of Fort Collins has been awarded a State Historical Fund grant in 2002 by the Colorado
Historical Society. The purpose of the grant is to complete a Historic Structure Assessment of the
JL -AL
East Farmhouse, Barn and Loafing Shed at the Nix Farm Natural Area. The assessment will
determine the entire physical condition of the historic buildings identified.
State Historical Fund grants are available to public entities as applicants for the purpose of historic
restoration of their public buildings. A Historic Structure Assessment is completed as a logical"first
step" before a general development grant is pursued. Although an assessment does not guarantee
subsequent State Historical Fund support, it will improve funding opportunities and the resulting
document will serve as a useful tool for assisting the City with building maintenance and future
restoration efforts.

the grant.
