Welcome to Fort Collins Historic Preservation
Welcome to the City of Fort Collins' historic preservation program. Our mission is to help you connect with, and preserve, the unique treasures that set Fort Collins apart from other communities in Colorado, and the nation.
We collaborate with citizens, developers, and staff, to encourage the preservation of Fort Collins' neighborhood and community character. A sustainable community depends on the preservation and adaptive reuse of its historic buildings, and our goal is to help Fort Collins residents make that a reality.

Understanding the Cost of Repair versus Replacement: Fort Collins Historic Preservation Services worked with nationally-renowned preservationist Bob Yapp to produce the new cost calculator tool. This tool helps homeowners and commercial property owners explore the cost difference and longevity of products against each other with a place to input their actual dimensions. These prices are local to the area! Check out the tool before replacing windows, doors, siding, or trim.
