The historic Marshall House looks like it will be saved. Steamboat Springs City Council has passed the first reading of an ordinance to allow the relocation and future planning for the Marshall House to be permanently relocated. City Council voted unanimously at their meeting Tuesday night. It will be moved just a few lots down to an empty lot behind the Smell That Bread building on Oak Street. Sam and Juli Gordon of Smell That Bread are taking on the project and the historic house that was built in 1898. The current lot that it is on has been sold and the owners have offered to help with relocation of the house.
A company out of Wyoming that specializes in moving historic structures anticipates the move to be sometime next month.

First, Keep Bears Wild – Steamboat will host a community talk about living with our local bears before the movie, at 6 p.m.
About the movie: Grizzly 399, the most famous bear in Grand Teton National Park, has an exceptional litter of four cubs to raise. Every day, the family must contend with threats to their survival, including a warming climate and human encroachment in bear country. Now the stakes are higher than ever as Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana seek to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list—which would make it legal to hunt them. In a riveting story full of twists and turns, hope and heartbreak, Grizzly 399 stands as a symbol of the clash between humans and the wild.
