Executive Summary
The purpose of the Town’s Historic Preservation Local Restoration Grant Program is to provide monetary assistance to owners of landmarked properties for rehabilitation and restoration projects. These grants are available up to 50% of the project cost. Staff believes that this proposal will help preserve an important Castle Rock landmark, the Douglas Masonic Temple.
The owners of the Douglas Masonic Temple Association building, located at 300 N. Wilcox Street (Attachment A), are requesting a local rehabilitation grant to assist with the cost of window restoration (Attachment B). The Douglas Masonic Temple, formerly known as the First National Bank of Douglas County, is on the National Register of Historic Places and is locally landmarked. This local grant request is for $2,000.
