Went on the tour and must say the amount of work needed seems astronomical. Probably better to flatten it and start with new build. Most likely cheaper than renovation. You can honor historic architectural elements if you wish. Location is ideal.

Very cool place lots of history. Being refurbished to house restaurants, artists studios, business...

“The Grove has been a quiet pocket from its earliest beginnings of blue. It’s now becoming a unique part of a larger urban place in historic downtown Pueblo. We’re trying to bring together a creative community.  It will be entrepreneurs, creatives and makers interacting with each other...it is the ‘evolution of blue’.” GH🔷🔷🔷ABOUT WATERTOWER PLACEWatertower Place takes an integrated approach to the planning process. We actively bring planning considerations directly into the creation of design, construction, marketing and management.By taking a long term view of the process of place making, we aim to build a positive relationship with local residents and community groups. We have an honest and frank relationship with the communities within which we work – we inform them at an early stage about our plans and aspirations, and ask them to respond openly.Watertower Place has been under redevelopment for the past three years with the vision to deliver:- A mixed use scheme which addresses the increasing demand for light industrial & manufacturing, office space, retail, housing, hospitality, food services, education & training and the arts.- Improved connectivity between Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo (HARP) and the trails reaching to Runyon Park and beyond.- New public spaces and access to one of Pueblo’s greatest blue collar neighborhoods.ABOUT THE GROVENestled between the Arkansas River and Santa Fe Avenue in Downtown Pueblo is a quiet pocket most commonly known as the Grove. It was the settling place for many different nationalities in Pueblo as they arrived from their home land. Italians, Yugoslavians, Czechoslovakians, Germans, Slovenians, and Hispanics made the Grove their home and the Steel Mill their life work. While the bars are a common recognition for the neighborhood today, the Grove’s history revolves around deep blue culture, faith, and lots of water.St. Mary’s was the first of the three parishes to be founded in the Grove. In 1891 an abandoned broom factory was converted to a church meant to cater to the Germans, Slovenians, and Slovaks of Pueblo. Later, in 1911 around 200 Slovak families split from the church and constructed St. Anthony of Padua. St. Mary was then popular among Yugoslavians while St. Anthony was popular to Czechoslovakians. After the flood, St. Mary’s was relocated to Blende.The Grove welcomes you to the Neighborhood and encourages participation in the conversation where everyone has a voice. We embrace differences and find collaboration an effective means of empowering change on the sidewalks of Pueblo. Come Home to the Grove.Sources: PULP, Pueblo Library & Historical Society
