Save Our Silos

FINAL Coy Barn and Milkhouse Landmark Decision at Fort Collins City Council Meeting Tuesday, July 5th

Hello Coy Farmstead Supporters,

This coming Tuesday, the City Council will finally vote on whether they will designate the Coy Barn and Milkhouse as historic landmarks. The buildings are on the Woodward site.

ACTION: We ask that you to send an email of support for the landmark designation to [email protected] as soon as possible. Just tell them in your own words why landmarking these buildings is important to you. Please don't mention Woodward or the silos.

If you can come to the meeting, too, that would be great. We can again show them that Fort Collins residents treasure our history and historic buildings and want them permanently saved. We think you wouldn't need to arrive until at least 7:30 or 8.

BACKGROUND: At the May 11th Landmark Preservation Commission meeting, Woodward offered to have them consensually designated if the city agreed with 7 conditions. The applicants from Save Our Silos and the LPC agreed to 6 of the 7 conditions. So we are very close to a compromise that might allow the Council to step up to the plate and designate these two highly significant historic buildings as landmarks in perpetuity.
