Dear Mr. Hall:
We are pleased to inform you that the Grover Grain Elevator, North of Chatoga Avenue, Grover will
be considered by the State Register Review Board for nomination to the State Register of Historic
Properties. The State Register is Colorado's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation.
Listing of a property in the State Register provides recognition of the property's historic importance
and assures protective review of State funded, licensed or permitted projects that might adversely
affect the character of the historic property. If a property is listed in the State Register, certain state
income tax credits for rehabilitation may apply as well as eligibility to compete for State Historical
Fund grants.
Listing in the State Register does not mean that limitations will be placed on the properties by the
State. Public visitation rights are not required of owners.
You are invited to attend the Review Board meeting at which the nominations will be considered on
February 16, 1996 at the Colorado History Museum, 1300 Broadway, Denver. The meeting will
begin immediately following the National Register meeting which is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (We
expect that meeting to last about an hour.) A public hearing will be held during which all comments
concerning nominations are welcome. We hope that you can come.
Enclosed is information that explains the State Register nomination process and criteria. Should you
have questions about any nomination before the Review Board meeting is held, please contact our
office at (303) 866-3392.
Sincerely, L-
Dale Heckendorn

STATE REGISTER OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES
The State Register of Historic Properties is a listing of the state's significant cultural resources
worthy of preservation for the future education and enjoyment of Colorado's residents and
visitors. Properties listed in the State Register include individual buildings, structures, objects,
districts and historic and archaeological sites. The State Register program is administered by
the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation within the Colorado Historical Society. The
Society maintains an official list of all properties included in the State Register. Properties that
are listed in the National Register of Historic Places are automatically placed in the State
Register. Properties may also be nominated separately to the State Register without inclusion
in the National Register.
Nomination Process
Properties may be nominated to the State Register by the owner, a local government, an agency
or the Society. However, all nominations must contain the owner's signed and notarized
approval of the nomination. The nominator must submit sufficient information to the Society
on the State Register nomination form along with any accompanying documentation necessary
to establish the property's historical significance and eligibility for inclusion based on State
Register criteria.
When a completed nomination is received by the Society, the nomination form is reviewed for
sufficiency within 14 days. Incomplete nominations are returned to the applicants for additional
information. Complete nominations are scheduled for the next State Register Review Board
meeting and the owners and nominators are notified as to the date, time and location of the
review board meeting.
The State Register Review Board is composed of citizen members and professionals from the
disciplines of prehistoric and historic archaeology, history, architecture and architectural history.
The Review Board meets at least three times a year to consider nominations. These meetings
are open to the public.
At the conclusion of the Review Board meeting, the Board recommends to the Colorado
Historical Society Board of Directors the approval or denial of the nominated properties for
inclusion in the State Register. Within thirty days of the recommendation, the Society Board
of Directors determines whether the nominated properties are to be listed in the State Register.
The property owners are notified of the determination.
Nomination Criteria
Criteria for consideration of properties for nomination and inclusion in the State Register
includes the following:
(a) The association of the property with events that have made a significant contribution
to history;
(b) The connection of the property with persons significant in history;
(c) The apparent distinctive characteristics of a type, period, method of construction, or
artisan;
(d) The geographic importance of the property;
(e) The possibility of important discoveries related to prehistory or history.
Listing in the State Register of Historic Properties provides:
•Formal recognition of a property's importance to the history of the community and the
state of Colorado.
•A body of information for local community planning, tourist promotion, neighborhood
revitalization.
•A sense of community history and local pride.
*Eligibility to compete for grants from Colorado's State Historical Fund. These grants
may be used for acquisition and development, education, and survey and planning
projects.
®Eligibility to apply for state tax credits for restoration, rehabilitation, or preservation
of State Register properties.
*Limited protection from state agency actions that would affect the property. Agencies
must solicit the comments of the Colorado Historical Society to assure that State Register
properties are given consideration in the state planning process.
Listing in the State Register imposes no restrictions on what a private property owner may do
with their property. Listing does not give anyone else the right to impose restrictions, nor does
it dictate the use of a property or change in zoning.
