The Old North End Neighborhood (ONEN), a Colorado nonprofit corporation, is the tax-exempt successor to an association formed to represent the Old North End in the mid-1950s.
Members of the ONEN Board of Directors are elected for terms of three years, although some people choose to serve longer. Board members are elected during the spring.
Neighborhood boundaries are Monument Valley Park on the west, Shooks Run trail from the railroad south to Washington, Wahsatch Avenue south to Fontanero, and the alley between Wahsatch and Corona south to Uintah on the east, the old Rock Island Railroad bed on the north and Uintah Street on the south. There are approximately 1500 residences in the Neighborhood.
The North End Neighborhood includes two National Register Historic Districts: The North End National Register Historic District encompasses approximately 44 blocks and 657 properties. ONEN is generally bounded by Madison Street on the North, Uintah Street on the South, the alley between Nevada Avenue and Weber Street on the East, and the properties fronting on Wood Avenue to the West. A portion of the North Weber Street/Wahsatch Avenue National Register Historic District is located within the Old North End and consists of 8 blocks and approximately 135 properties. This area includes Weber Street from Del Norte Street to Uintah Street and Wahsatch Avenue from Columbia Street to Uintah Street.
In October 2000, the North End National Historic District was granted protection under the Historic Preservation Ordinance (overlay zoning), a local designation approved by City Council. When considering changes to the exterior of your house, consult the City of Colorado Springs Historic Preservation Board letter.
