Getting "plastered" at the Depot

Much progress this summer…insulation…drywall…plaster! A few before and after pix.

Thank you for donations that helped make this possible. It takes a community. Next, painting! And plumbing! And rehabbing walls like these in the middle room. But getting so much closer!

While the work went on at the Depot, printing also continued, including demos in Highlands Ranch and Palmer Lake.  Next, we will be at the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, August 15-16.

We are thankful to you and the State Historical Fund for getting us so close we can taste it - or at least envision opening to the public. Any help to raise the remaining $150,000 of our $550,000 capital campaign appreciated. Truly, every dollar counts.

Depot year in pictures

We were excited to see so many of you at printing events this year. And we were touched by how many of you also donated to help us get our Depot home in shape for occupancy. Thank you. You still have a few minutes to make a 2024 donation (although of course we will happily accept them in 2025 as well😉). As always, we are grateful to the State Historical Fund for believing in and supporting our project.

See you in 2025! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and NEW** on BlueSky. Email info@letterpressdepot.org or call/text 720-4805358 anytime.

It takes a community!

Lots of smiles when we printed recently at Cherry Creek High School with students and their families. Now we need your donation to help us open our Depot home to bring more smiles, more printing to the community. To achieve full occupancy and use of the Depot, we need $550,000 and we’ve already raised half that! The State Historical Fund has given us a grant for $250,000 to rehab more of the interior and our immediate goal is to raise $83,000 as a match for that grant. The Colorado Gives incentive program (now through December 10) is the perfect time to give us a special gift.

Your donations have already helped make it possible for us to accomplish construction milestones like a new eco-friendly HVAC system and electrical service.

Once we have this $83,000 match, we can: Fix the walls! Raise the floors for ADA access! Install plumbing! Repair plaster! Fix windows! Add fire safe doors!. We will be so much closer to opening the building, allowing people of all ages to participate in this historic art form. Please give before midnight December 10 to help us access the Colorado Gives incentive match.

Checks also welcome to PO Box 798, Englewood, Colorado 80151. Questions? email info@letterpressdepot.org or text 720-480-5358. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
