Historic Boulder, Boulder's preservation organization, has been given a treasure. The Hannah Barker House at 800 Arapahoe, a property significant because of its owner, its location, and its style.

We have discovered that Hannah Barker was perhaps one of the most important women in Boulder in the late 19th century. We are in the beginning stages of its renovation. Her legacy includes ranch land in Nederland now the Barker Dam, and the park on the SW corner of 15th and Spruce, Barker Park. Look at www.historicboulder.org for more information. I have the fun honor of heading Historic Boulder this year. Stay tuned.

I am representing the sale of 419 Canyon Blvd in Boulder, one of Boulder's oldest properties, and the story is an excellent account of its renovation from "Derelick to Cinderella." If you are restoring or remodeling, the story provides some great resources.
