Non-notable run-of-the-mill church. Citations do not amount to more than local coverage. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:07, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the creator of this article. I didn't know about run-of-the-mill articles back when I created this article. Delete it if you need to. PPriyix (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment There's a paragraph that touches on the history of the land as a tuberculosis sanitorium. It shows some integration into the community's history that I wouldn't say is run of the mill. – The Grid (talk) 21:16, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment The sanitorium was named Mount St. Francis. We might be able to support an article about that insitution, but this church just seems to have inherited the property. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:32, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

    The area where the sanatorium once stood was named "Mount St. Francis" after the property was sold to the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration. The sanatorium from 1909 to 1947 was known as the Modern Woodmen of America Sanatorium. PPriyix (talk) 20:56, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

• Delete: It is a church. There are between 350,000 and 400,000 of those in the U.S. Lacking something notable, a "church", as an organization is not notable: See WP:NCHURCH. Not being of any concern over any monetary value to the church, and likely because it was absolutely needed, the 1920 Byzantine-style crucifix was regilded in 2007. The origin would be of interest. Comments: I agree about the "history" part. The "Modern Woodmen of America Sanatorium" (1909 to 1947) should have sufficient sourcing. There is YouTube, History Colorado.Pikes Peak Library District's Digital Collections. More than 12,000 patients and 1,360 acres in what was then called "Woodmen, Colorado". There are still some surviving Gardiner-style tuberculosis huts, at the Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, Pioneers Museum, and Penrose Hospital, among others. I stayed in Colorado Springs a few days, loved the area, and visited several historic places, including the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Pikes Peak, and several others. I authored the Julie Penrose article and contributed to Spencer Penrose, The Broadmoor, and others. There is a lot of history in the area. The historic sanitarium likely deserves an article. It still has a road named after it. Maybe I can get the time to look at it or the "Union Printers Home" (1892)? -- Otr500 (talk) 04:54, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
