On October 10 and 11, Historic Greeley completed another successful Weekend Preservation Project at the home of Cynthia Morger in Greeley. The home was built in 1900 on 7th avenue. During the Weekend Preservation Project, Historic Greeley volunteers completed several improvements around the outside of the home including a new fence, structural support to the front porch, and, of course, a fresh coat of paint.

Through the Weekend Preservation Project, Historic Greeley completes a weekend’s-worth of improvements to the exterior of a qualifying historic home in Greeley free of charge to the owner. The project is made possible by the work of Historic Greeley volunteers and our generous partners who donate time and labor to the effort. This year, we would like to thank Jeff Tori and 21st Century Painting, Mile High Stucco, Trophy Husbands of Greeley, and Roche Constructors for ensuring another great Weekend Preservation Project.
