Tour of Watertower Place

Explore the Past. Experience the Legacy.

Come join us for a fascinating tour of Watertower Place, the former site of the historic Nuckolls Packing Company and later Alpha Beta—one of Pueblo’s most iconic industrial landmarks. This is your chance to step inside a building that helped feed a nation and shaped the future of Pueblo.

Led by local historian and storyteller Gregory Howell, this guided tour will take you deep into the rich history, architectural significance, and hidden stories of this 250,000-square-foot meatpacking plant that once set the standard for modern cold storage and food safety.

Discover:

• The visionary design of Hans Peter Henschien
• The legacy of three generations of the Nuckolls family
• How a flood, a war, and two fearless sisters changed everything
• Surprising facts, forgotten rooms, and future plans for adaptive reuse

Whether you’re a Pueblo local or just visiting, this is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with a place that still towers—literally and figuratively—over the city’s landscape.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your camera. Bring your friends.
Come discover the magic of Watertower Place.
