Beaumont House

Year Listed:    2004
County:    Pueblo County
Status:    PROGRESS
Context:    Residential
Date Constructed:    1889

Significance:
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Beaumont home was designed by Morris Stuckert near Pueblo's Mineral Palace Park and the Grand; the Mineral Palace has since been demolished. The house represents residences within the area associated with the John H. Thatcher family; one of Pueblo’s most well known citizens in the city’s late 19th century boom years. Beaumont was a close associate, secretary and confidante of Thatcher, as well as a prominent Pueblo citizen in his own right.

Threat When Listed:
Demolition for parking space

Since Listing:
After initially wanting to demolish the building, the owner, Parkview Medical Center, obtained a grant from the State Historical Fund which surveyed the Historic Northside Neighborhood in 2004, including the Beaumont Home. Since, a Historic Structure Assessment has been completed along with a complete rehabilitation of the interior. The home is currently used by Parkview as a residence for visiting physicians. The veranda is the last feature that needs restoration before the site is considered a save!
