Senator Grantham clarified that the proposal would be changed to replace the etched glass with frosted glass. Mr. Turner discussed the reasons for History Colorado's recommended changes, which help distinguish historic features from replacements. Mr. Shepherd added that the new fixtures would be marked with the date when they were added.
In response to a question, Mr. Damion Pechota, Legislative Council Staff, noted that the photograph probably dates to 1898 or 1899. Ms. Ameen and Mr. Shepherd explained that historic portions of the bases would remain in place.
