March/April, 2010 — the National Trust for Historic Preservation has noted that the Victor Miners' Union Hall is threatened:
Western Federation of Miners Union Hall: In 1904, three years after it was built by the Western Federation of Miners in Victor, Colo., this brick structure became the site of the first government attack on organized labor. Troops fired on the building during the arrest of union leaders, who were later jailed and tortured. Bullet holes still scar the building's facade, and the structure is threatened by neglect, its roof near collapse. Because of the historical significance, the union hall is eligible for the National Register. Emergency stabilization alone would cost more than $500,000.
