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 a term of three years, and may be elected for a second three-year term. Our by-laws require that a one-year “break” occur before a member may be elected to an additional term.
Neighborhood boundaries are Monument Valley Park on the west, Weber Street and parts of Wahsatch Avenue and its alley on the east, the old Rock Island Railroad bed (about Van Buren Street) on the north and Uintah Street on the south.
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.
Over 1500 wonderful neighbors, like you, live in our beautiful neighborhood! Your questions, ideas, concerns, positive comments are valuable to us all!
So please don't hesitate to contact a board member.
