The Winter Park Balcony House. In the 23 years that Kim Grant has worked to preserve history in Colorado, he’s seen the idea of preservation, and what to save, change. Preservation used to focus on “the great fabulous landmarks of the rich and famous” but there's a new evolving philosophy on that ordinary places, landscapes and buildings have stories to tell as well, “particularly if they're part of broader social movements,” Grant said. “It’s also important to tell (the stories) from a diverse perspective, to make sure that all the people who built Colorado are represented.” As the director of Colorado's Most Endangered Places program, a part of Colorado Preservation, Inc., Grant believes the nature of threats to historic properties has changed in parallel to the growth of population and development in Colorado. He points to rural areas that have gone through decline, which creates its own pressure on historic resources, while the Front Range and other places like tourist communities have experienced explosive growth, which also creates a threat to historic properties.
