Downtown Fort Collins Then and Now
INTRODUCTION

Fort Collins Then and Now was designed by Mark Grigsby and provides a photographic tour of Fort Collins streets and buildings through the decades. The current color photographs were taken on Christmas Day, 1997, by Fort Collins historian, Don Woeber; the current black and white photographs were taken in 1996 by Ed Bittner, local professional photographer. All of these photographs, including the historic photographs, are the property of the Local History Archive. They are available for purchase at the Museum. Reproductions of these digital images cannot be made without the Museum's written permission.
