For a home that has stood and watched the seasons pass for more than a century, two months isn’t a long time. But in the short weeks since a special blessing on Oct. 27 to kick off renovations at this historic structure, there has been a lot of activity.

The Centennial House is a part of the Ninth Street Historic Park, a one-block area of buildings that was preserved as the Auraria neighborhood was displaced and the Auraria Higher Education Center was built. Last year, CU Denver announced an expansion of the Displaced Aurarian Scholarship Program.
