The Union Printers Home in Colorado Springs was the destination for thousands of printers who were afflicted with printers lung and tuberculosis.

The land was gifted to the Printers Union by the city of Colorado Springs and started off as 80 acres.

Construction began in 1891 and was completed in 1892 (see the 4th photo for a picture taken in 1892) at a cost equivalent to $2.7M in today's money.

As more ill printers made their way to the home, the grounds ballooned from 80 acres to over 300 acres and included several residential buildings, a boiler/laundry facility, a sanatorium, and one of the largest dairy farms in the state! The main building was expanded in 1933 to what you see today!

Over time, the population of the home began to diminish, and portions of the property were sold off to compensate for the loss of income being generated by printers paying Union dues.

In 1994, the property was reduced to 26 acres.

In 2013, the last Union Printer living on property passed away, and the facilities were sold a short time later... the home was then converted into a nursing home.

The nursing home came under fire for some rapidly deteriorating conditions and was shut down after a resident froze to death after being left overnight outside.

Experts estimate that approximately 40,000 people called this facility home - and approximately 10,000 of those residents passed away here. That's a chilling number! πŸ‘€

In 2021, a group purchased the property for $18M and are in the process of obtaining approval to renovate and develop the property.

Keep an eye out for this project to be competed as some of the ideas are OUTSTANDING!

Spoiler Alert ⚠️ - keep an eye out for a coffee shop, possibly called PRINTERS PRESS, and a bar called PROFANITY HALL... can you imagine a brewery in the boiler room? I sure can!!!

Additionally, the upper floors of the main building are potentially going to be renovated into a boutique hotel... would you stay here? πŸ˜ƒ πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
