Sunrise Neighborhood Historic Survey: Share Your Stories
The City of Greeley is doing a historic survey of the Sunrise neighborhood. Sunrise Neighborhood is bordered by railroad tracks to the west, 5th Street to the north, the Cache la Poudre River and Highway 85 to the east, and 16th Street to the south. This survey will collect information about 544 properties and the history related to those properties. This will help identify which places might be important enough to be on local, state, or national historic lists and registers.
Whether you know a little or a lot about a property or the neighborhood, we want to hear from you! If you have a story or experience from the neighborhood, let us know about it. Do you or your family have old photos of your house or the area? We’d love to see them!
This project is partly funded by a grant from the History Colorado State Historical Fund.
Tell Us Your Story About Sunrise Neighborhood
The City of Greeley received a State Historical Fund grant from History Colorado to conduct a historic resource survey in the Sunrise neighborhood, specifically in the area bound by 5th and 16th Streets and approximately 6th Avenue and U.S. Highway 85. The survey will gather information and document the history and architectural character of 544 select properties within the area. The survey will also help identify properties eligible for designation on the Greeley Historic Register. In addition to the survey, Greeley's Historic Preservation team is asking current and former residents or visitors to share what they know about properties and buildings in the survey area.
