Red Rocks’ Mount Morrison CCC Camp is a case study for economic recovery
Mount Morrison Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp is getting front-page attention as a case study in economic recovery by supporting programs that engage workforces like Historicorps, a national historic-preservation nonprofit based in Denver.
Built in 1935-6, the historic 18-acre Mount Morrison CCC Camp served as living quarters for the builders of the world-famous National Historic Landmark Red Rocks Amphitheater. The camp is one of two collections of intact CCC buildings in the U.S. built as part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal economic recovery plan to put people back to work following the Great Depression. It is considered nationally significant under the theme, “Developing the American Economy” within the National Register of Historic Places.
Anderson Hallas Architects provided design services for several projects including, rehabilitation of Barracks #1 and a master plan to reactivate Red Rocks CCC Camp with Mundus Bishop Design.
