North London Mill Preservation, Inc. brings together historic preservation, outdoor recreation and education, and the arts and sciences.
Reports the Denver Post:
"After spending five years transforming a ramshackle 140-year-old structure at the foot of a 13,000-foot pass into one of Colorado鈥檚 most
unique backcountry huts, the moment of truth had arrived for Jeff Crane and partner Kate McCoy. A Park County building inspector was on site to give the historic preservation project a final lookover before signing the certificate of occupancy. It had been their dream to turn what remained of the North London Mine Office, built in 1883, into a backcountry destination. They lined up historic preservation grants, determined to rehabilitate the building in a manner that was faithful to its original appearance."
