| South Larimer Discussion Group
Wednesday, October 15
1:00 p.m.
Pulliam Building, Loveland
On Wednesday, October 15, the South Larimer Discussion Group will host an in-person tour of the Pulliam Building at 545 North Cleveland, Loveland.
If you are a newcomer, you may be unaware of the history of the Pulliam Building. Here is the background from our League host, Nancy Garcia:
During the depths of the Great Depression in the 1930's, Loveland's Pulliam building arose from the dust because of the courage of the City of Loveland, the resources of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and the charity of D.T. and Lillian Pulliam. During the past 80 years, the structure served Loveland well. Conventions, concerts, plays, graduations, school events, church services, dinners and celebrations were the hallmark of the community building. Since opening, there has not been any major remodeling. Public usage steadily declined. Until now.
But, in the near future, through the impetus of a committed collective effort over the past eight years, the community will once again enjoy this sound, historically designated structure. This unique partnership between the Pulliam Community Building Foundation and the City focuses on a common goal: to benefit downtown and greater Loveland by attracting more visitors and adding economic stimulus.
Please register here so we know how many people to expect. Plan to meet on the south (alley) side and wear closed-toed shoes.
